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.
Costco is where we get meat, cheese, paper towels, various cleaning supplies, occasional office supplies, and a bag or two of something snacky. Ours is laid out in a pretty logical way and I don't remember it having been different at the locations I went in the US. I had to stop eating bread so I can't speak to that, but my wife does love their bagels. There are no bags but they sometimes have boxes lying about that you can use. I seem to recall that someone to put things in the cart was a floating position that would bop between cashiers as the cart went full, not an assigned employee who would stand idle at each register.
