Reviews
All the cool people take their dates out here for Saturday morning brunch, i mean samples. Always loved Costco with it's amazing hot dogs and friendly employees! Plus the samples! Come on, lunch is on the house since no matter what, buy 5 things and you already spent $100!
THEY GAVE ME SHORT $120 ON THE REFUND OF A CAMERA I used to consider this place not so bad, even though several employees here were very rude on many occasions (mumbling, bitching about their customers and other stuffs), especially at the checkout. Unlike several Costco that I've been to in Washington, the return service can be unfriendly. I'd played the dumb Asian until recent incident, in which I was given short $120, or 6 x $20 dollar bills for the refund on a Nikon D7100: Around Thursday's evening, I and my girl went into Costco for some working clothes, grocery as usual. In a crazy moment, I picked up a Nikon D7100. However, once it had been checked out, I realized it was too much for me, so I decided to return it right there to avoid the coming back and saving any further explanation. I was supposed to receive $1487 and some changes on the camera. While the cashier was working to process my refund, I was stupid and checked out my game on mobile device (since I was in a COC clan war and they wanted my participation and I only had 40 secs left to attack); another reason was my trust in Costco (I've been their loyal membership for the past 4-5 years approximately). Then the Cashier (I think her name is Wendy) gave me the cash and I asked her if I could get large bills, like 14 x $100 instead of all $20 but she told me it's not possible. She also told me to recount the money but she left in a hurry for something else. A guy came in to replace her post. While he was working the line, we were standing at the other end of the table counting the bills. There were 2 x $500 blocks/stacks with rubber bands holding($20 dollar bills) and the rest $487 plus some changes (mainly $20 dollar bills). When my girlfriend was counting the last stack of $500, we were shock to realize the missing of $120 or 6 x $20 dollar bills. We counted it several times before calling the Costco's employee there to help. As a result, one of their managers came in to check, then he left to discuss something in the back, then he asked several times if we had walked away in a pushy tone. After we repeatedly confirm our problem, he went to bring out the original cashier. Here is the FUN part: - Wendy, our original cashier claimed we had walked away - She believed she had counted the money correctly, twice in front of me - BUT how could she'd accomplished this around 1-2 minutes (around the best possible time I was on my phone). Moreover, "she was extremely considerate to arrange 3 portions of the refund, with rubbers on 2 500 stacks. - The manager there seemed to not believe our story, but he did not ask the employees standing at the entrance, or the guy substituting Wendy, or the camera. He kept telling us they had all the number in their system, we might be making an error or if we considered ourselves making an error. But there was no mark on our receipt, there was no support in his theory that we had walk out except their presumption. Somehow, it's our goddamn fault. Although Costco has my contact, he still inquired my info, such as phone number. It's both hypocrite and funny. Before we left, I offered him to check us if need but he refused. Thanks God we did not carry much cash on us at the moment lol. In the end, we got home with all our money back but extremely unhappy. The idea of something wrong with that "victimized" cashier is still hovering in my head.
I just LOVE Costco Everett. The Management and Support Staff are Fantastic, always helpful, know me by name and are always smiling. I do all of my shopping at Costco and wouldn't dream of shopping elsewhere. The entire team at Costco ROCKS.....
ICE CREAM ALERT! Go to the Food Court of the your local Costco..and you'll find the best ice cream bar for the money... maybe the best for what money can buy?!. It is a huge vanilla ice cream fresh dipped in milk chocolate and almonds. It is huge and ONLY $1.50!!! Yes, you have to drive to Everett or any Costco location but it is Ohhhhh so worth it. Just Google images "ice cream bar costco" and check it out...wow! The rest of the store is standard warehouse goodness of giant bargains. You can get major savings as long as you have the space for 5 gallon plastic jug of mayo!
I love CostCo in general and this one is great. The location is perfect to get ALL your shopping done with a Target and Home Depot right there. Plus, this costco is huge (as they all are, I guess) and the samples are my favorite. This costco also has a liquor store on site that is separate from the store itself. I love having my membership with this company.
