Costco has earned it's way onto the list of places that I won't go to even if I will save a ton of money. Now that list includes Costco and Wal-mart. Wal-mart I think everyone gets. You sacrifice customer service and sanity to save a bunch of money. But at Costco, they charge you money to shop there. This should mean that you don't have to sacrifice on service, and when you shop there, it should not make you want to kill people. Since I went there for 10 minutes yesterday and got so mad I had to leave, I'll share this note to the world. Costco is awful, and here are 10 reason why.
Top 10 reasons why Costco Sucks:
10. The parking lot at the one I go to is crooked. So you have to weave in and out of cars to go from your car to the door. Stoopid!
9. The greeter is generally an a-hole who doesn't do anything other than pretend to look for membership cards
8. They are always out of carts
7. The produce is AWFUL!!!... I saved a ton of money on green peppers, sure, but who cares if you open the bag up and they are all beat up. What is it you are doing to these freaking things?
6. The selection is terrible… Give me a break, does every person that shops at Costco all wear the same type of deodorant, or is it just me?
5. Where are the walnuts!?
4. Do you like zombies? Cause if you do, I know where to find some. They are slowly pushing a cart down the middle of every isle at every Costco on earth. Don't worry, though, these zombies won't eat you. All they will do is impeed you from being able to push your cart by, forcing you to stare at the 30 pound bag of jalepeno poppers for what seems like hours, wishing you had done a better job on last years resolutions, so this years resolutions wouldn't result in your inability to devour jalepeno poppers. CRAP!
3. Again, I'm paying you to shop here?... Why? The prices aren't that good (do the math on that 37 pack of 9 ounce Cokes - I promise you'll be kicking yourself for a year) and customer service is simply non-existant.
2. Costco also sucks relatively speaking, because grocery stores have started sucking a lot less. The prices are really coming down. I highly recommend you check out a Safeway if you haven't been in a while. The quality is top notch on everything and the prices are fairly decent. Also, if you are near an employee, instead of acting like you are either invisible or a burden to their existance, they'll say something pleasant like "can I help you find anything?" or "have a nice day". It's refreshing.
1. The lines at check-out are absolutely dehumanizing. I feel like I must be in line to pay for something absolutely awesome like Space Mountain, or to see a 2-headed bearded lady. But no, I'm in line to pay for my effing groceries. Holy crap I feel dumb.
Stay Away!
Well, I for one am bummed. I love Amazon.com. It is generally my first stop for shopping. I generally feel like they provide great customer service and super pricing. And I generally find that I trust them, an odd emotion to attach to a retailer. After today, though, my trust is waning.
