Costco Wholesale

There really isn't much you can write about Costco gas except this location is ALWAYS packed. I don't think I've ever been here when there hasn't been incredibly LONG lines.

But the price of gas is cheaper than most places in town and the gas is good quality. So if your time isn't money then this place is your place for good gas. I just couldn't give it 5* because of the ridiculously long line I endure every time I get gas here.

If you don't have a Costco American Express then you have to pay with your debit card or a Costco cash card, no credit cards here. But most people know this.

I know there is probably nothing they can do about the lines short of putting 10 more pumps in, but hmmm that's an idea. I've turned around many times not having enough time to wait in those long lines.

Nothing like a quick trip to Costco in the morning. Parking is no problem at 10am. I observed a large patient crowd of dedicated Costco faithful waiting at the entrance, then a steady stream of courteous customers all being greeted by the two friendly workers as the overhead roll up door opened. It orderly and fun to watch. I let the crowd thin before I made my way in.
Costco doesn't have a dress code a few of these shoppers must of been in a rush, they were still wearing their pajamas. I was there just for a few items. The store is really impressive when it opens the new items are out the bakery has been busy all night
fresh cakes breads cookies all out some are still warm and it smells so good. I was surprised, the rotisserie chickens were already out too. I picked one up. This part of the store gets your appetite
going.
I picked up the few items we needed and made up to the front checkouts this early just a little waiting, that's when I noticed the Hot Dog sign. There was almost no one in line
It was only 10:40 not to early for
A Costco dog. I went over to kiosk
Paid my $1.62 the friendly employee asked if I wanted onions, they come separately now I declined he gave me a fresh dog and a cup for my Diet Pepsi I went over to the condiments and filled bum up with French's mustard I was carrying a masterpiece.
I did a 360' and headed for the door.
Costco early is was a great experience. So was my Hot Dog

Our usual stop when driving back to CA from Las Vegas.

Quality/Quantity - Expensive gas prices, in relation to other Costco locations and of course compared to LV gas prices.
Decent selection of microbrews, but only one local; see pictures.

Saw my first Costco food court cookie in LV, they have it here also.
Looks like all Costcos have it now.

Atmosphere -
Consistent.
Open 7 days a week from 9:30am or 10am to 6pm or 8:30pm, see picture, Yelp, or their website.

Service - Self service.

Price - Higher than all the other Costcos I shop.
Both the gas prices and beer.
With these prices, I need to start to reconsider if this should continue to be our regular stop...

I recently had a tire emergency. One of my front tires was damaged on the side wall.
Abner was so kind as he informed me that not only could it not be repaired, but that Michelin was no longer making that tire. Meaning that I had to buy Two tires not just one.
Abner & David his manager found tires that were compatible so at least I didn't have to buy four. Also I was given credit for the life left in the tires. It made an expensive purchase much more palatable.
I felt both Abner & David went above & beyond in their service.
I have been buying my tires from Costco for many years and highly recommend them. They have road damage coverage which means ( for those of you who might not know) they measure the mileage left on the tires and give a discount for this on your new tire purchase. Years ago I purchased tires elsewhere and two months in had irreparable tire damage and there was no damage coverage. I won't make that mistake again!
The price point is great. They do not make appointments, it's a first come first serve basis.

Went to Costco today and I lady in the self checkout was very rude I don't think I'm going to shop at those
Location anymore even though I showed them my card at checkout they demanded to see my picture on my card so rudely with attitude the Costco On Rosedale has gotten pretty rude employees now

Flan I could not buy and eat because I was traveling ... see the picture .
So hot in July to eat out but they do have huge ventilators to help people avoid passing out.
Thank God they have a few trees in the parking lot.
The wait for the gas was terrible but it was cheap ha ha
A lot of testing inside but unfortunately I couldn't buy anything especially in this heat. Anything cold it will not travel safely with me. Nice employees overall.

One person working front counter for tires , wait is long ! If you have time to wait great price.

I have always been a fan of good quality products at a fair price. They do have the more high end items which sometimes is good and sometimes is bad because there could be a lower cost option that they don't have. I love the hot dog and soda and also the pizza, I have been a member for many years

A big Costco shopper. Spent the night in Bakersfield and decided to get gas. The price per gallon was the best I've seen in California. The wait in line wasn't too bad. Keep the cheap gas flowing!

I was speaking for my grandma because she doesn't know English and the bagger made a comment with attitude because I answered for her, she wasn't even the one attending us, they need to do better about minding their business.

5 stars for usual Costco. One demerit for long slow lines at Food Court (5:30 PM on a Thursday evening).
