I just signed up for Costco and visited the store for the first time. I’m a little disappointed. Everything there is really unhealthy. They have a full bread aisle, but no whole wheat bread. I feel like the store is 1% produce, 69% highly processed food, 30% objects.
Lots of types of groceries are missing. I overheard two other parties saying they would go to Walmart afterwards, to get stuff they couldn’t find at Costco.
Everything there is such a disorganized mess. Most of the aisles are incoherent.
What’s with the baggers? Why would they have bag boys but no bags? Do all Costco stores have no bags? I don’t need an entire worker just to put my stuff back in the cart.
I agree with you, they stock a ton of non-food items I rarely care about. If you mostly buy food items check to see if there’s a Costco Business Center nearby.
Going to the business center does not require a special Costco membership, they’re open about the same hours, and some have gas stations available. Mine does not have a food court, and the non-food section is limited to restaurant supply stuff. The physical store is the same size as my normal Costcos, so the food selection is increased substantially.
These are probably only available in major metropolitan areas, so you might be out of luck. I only go to my normal Costco for gas now (the line is shorter than at the business center).
That’s good to hear about the business centres, closest is an hour away at the best of times, if it’s like a regular Costco but better produce selection then I’m excited that the new one will be one of them.
