For fans of Costco

founded 2 years ago
 

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 belong to Costco for a mere handful of reasons:

  • coffee (way cheaper and better than the grocery store)
  • toilet paper
  • dish/laundry detergent
  • nuts: cashews, peanuts, pecans
  • special purchases (electronics, occasionally furniture)
  • clothes (they’re great when you’re old and don’t care anymore)
  • their credit card, the cash back program is awesome

All that for like $75 a year? Hell yeah. And that $1.50 hot dog and soda is unbeatable. Also, they have a great return policy.
