#EDIT: i got my dates wrong, it was friday not saturday. The store closed at 830. Also, I have an executive membership.

☆Barely any other shoppers

☆Ample parking

☆No line for anything. Checkout, food court or the exit receipt check.

☆Everything I came for was stocked on the shelves.

☆I took my good sweet time strolling through everything with no one in my way and was in and out in 34 minutes.

Only the silliest of gooses brag about going during executive hours.

It is time for us to renew the Costco membership. We currently have the executive membership, and our rewards check for last year came out to $95. Last year we didn’t earn the membership fee back as well, I don’t remember the exact amount, but I let it slide. After this year, I’m wondering if we should go back down to the Goldstar level. I have heard that Costco will reimburse the difference if we don’t earn that amount, which this year, I would like to look into. I would be less anxious if I knew how it worked. I don’t even like to return items. Is customer service pretty relaxed about this? How do I ask for the difference? Should I consider going back down a level, or stick it out and hope next year we spend more? Thanks for any advice.

I have an interview at Costco this week and was told they may be hiring for deli, bakery, or food court.
I’d appreciate any advice on:

what managers usually look for in interviews

what those departments are like day-to-day

which position people preferred and why

I currently have open schedule and I’m excited for the opportunity. Thanks 👍

my local Costco wine selection has gone downhil. I used to buy reasonably priced wine there. now it’s either Kirkland brand, which I find very hit or miss, or more expensive ($50) bottles. is anyone else seeing this trend?

Hi there. Does anyone know the brand of cocktail sauce that Costco uses for their shrimp cocktail that they have available by the pound? It is awesome and I'd really like to find it and get more.

Thanks.

our Costco sells none of those stuff in the food court

I have $160 dollars voucher as the title suggests.

Help me shop?

Alcohol is fine as an option as long as it is available in my local Costco. (not a wine person)

P.S. Almost signed with my name, like an email.

Edit: I’m talking about when you pay at the kiosk, they make you go up to the counter and THEN they give you your food as opposed to you paying at the kiosk and them calling your number. That’s the way it is in Texas and I like how they call out your number after you order at the kiosk.

Why is it this way in California? I’m here visiting and they tried to do it this way in Texas and they immediately stopped because it was inefficient as heck lol.

I actually don’t live close to a Costco at all and don’t drive. I’ve read so much about Costco members getting incredible deals on vacation and travel. Is it worth getting for that alone?
