Costco

I love Costco but this location is super annoying. No one knows what the heck is going on and where anything is. Every time I ask where an item is, I get a, «I dunno.» It’s like the employees here never go throtugh any training.
The parking lot is also really annoying. There is one entrance so it takes forever to park. Even on a weekday during the day, it’s pretty crowded.
The lot does have a recycling center but they are closed on Sundays and Mondays. Ask any Costco employee and they won’t know this information. The recycling is really slow and you always have to wait in a long line.
I really wish there were other Costcos around that I could go to instead.

Brian (or Ryan) in the Bakery saved my day! He fulfilled a very last-​minute request for a cake and even got the writing done for us. He really gave excellent customer service!
Thank you!

Very inefficient Costco I’be ever been. The layout is totally ridiculous. The problem is the they hired an architect hat designed the building next to the side walk. As a result, One way in and one way out. To get to the gas station, you have to get through the one way traffic to make it through on their back side. I addition their return line is inefficient. It’s always super long. This Costco is a high traffic so I suspect its a lot of ppl. If that is the case then open up more return lines. I am currently in line and I see 6 ppl behind the counter and only 2 open return lines. Are the rest really helping out with membership?

Be aware of what you eat! Just found a Plastic Film Strip as I ripped apart my Blueberry Muffin after purchasing the 6-​pack from #Costco #costcosouthsanfrancisco #disappointed #disgusted
Not entirely sure if the baked goods are packaged in house yet isn’t this in the basic food handler’s guide ?!? Anyone who bought muffins this past weekend for the Holiday, be careful.

Seems a bit smaller than other costcos in the city but decent. Found all I needed on my trip here and parking wasn’t too bad but it is more packed on the weekends definitely. Very disappointed that the lady putting my items back in my cart dropped one of my crème brûlée boxes onto the floor and cracked. It was also the last one so I left without it :/​luckily got a refund but sad I didn’t get to bring it home. Also they will start not accepting American Express starting June.

I was there on Friday after work and when I was checking out the woman did not ask me if I wanted a box for my stuff that I was buying. She just scanned it and then put it in the cart I had. I was like looking at her like I am spending almost a hundred dollars and you don’t ask me if I want a box?! I didn’t feel like asking for it and I was tired as well as didn’t want to bother after walking around for an hour in the warehouse. I found a cookbook that was $ 30 originally and it was $ 18, so costco is worth a trip for books and movies on dvd.

Buying in bulk. Most people only need certain items in bulk, like paper towels, or your favorite brand of soap. When you are raised in certain households, you are raised by parents/​guardians who seem to think they need EVERYTHING in bulk. My mother still has a stock of blank CDs. Does anyone remember using those?
Anyways, Costco is just great. They not only offer an endless array of food and booze (Hello, bulk-​priced Johnnie Walker), but the aisles are wide, and the shelves are organized and plentifully stocked. The staff is efficient. Not to mention, plenty of people come for food samples, so that turns into a meal, doesn’t it? I can see why some people show up even if they didn’t originally plan to buy anything.
Plus, their return policy is unbelievable. I once witnessed a lady returning lettuce. You can return perishables?
Nowadays I don’t really need much in bulk. I mainly just come for necessities, discounted movie tickets, and the food court. You can order food court items from the checkout line.
Like I’ve said before, thanks for feeding me and my family since before I could see over a shopping cart.

Costco is alway great. great place to get gas and booze before heading to the airport. massive localized and cheap hard liquor selection. There is another costco just north of the car rental return that is awesome as well. Food court is indoors and plentiful seating

I went to this Costco yesterday, I was ready to check out. I told the cashier that I wanted to do two seperate transactions, I was even showing him which items I want to be seperated. BUT HE WASN’T EVEN LISTENING NOR WAS HE PAYING ATTENTION TO ME. He just kept rushing and wasn’t even paying attention to anything me and my mom was saying to him.
Costco is usually good to me, but it was just this time.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE COSTCO.
But that service was bad.

This review is about their food only.
I’ve been eating Costco food on and off for a good chunk of my life. Items on their menu change ever so so slowly but their best is being consistent and great bang for the buck.
When I got there today, there were 3 lanes opened (2 for orders and 1 for prepaid) and the funny thing was, the prepaid lane was actually the longer line.
Food is always quick and hot or cold if you are ordering something cold and for a 1.50 for a polish sausage and drink, you really can’t complain.
Go for the cheap food and stay to browse around and sample some munchies as well.

This Costco is great and has all the usual stuff as any other store. Make sure you go in with a list or you can spend hours here and $ 100’s of more dollars than anticipated!

So Costco is Costco. Great place to buy things in bulk. Occasionally I will try my $ 100 challenge, which is to see if I can keep my tab under $ 100. 99% never works. This Costco’s parking lot is completely screwed. Getting in the parking lot, no problem. Trying to navigate the parking lot, different story. I especially love the completely borked section right in front of Costco. It seems as if all the drivers here don’t know how to drive or are completely oblivious to who has the right of way. So i don’t have to mention what drivers to look out for since everyone already knows who they have to watch out for on the roads.
Enough about the drivers… this Costco is just the same as all the rest. Although I’m not sure if I like this one or the one on Airport Blvd. better. Kind of a toss up. So this Costco is just another Costco, nothing too special.

It is amazing that within 5 miles there are two Costco stores in Daly City /​South San Francisco area. Let me just say this.
1. Getting to this one off of Hickey and El Camino is like one of the worst experiences. Slow lights, too many cars, rude drivers, inexperienced drivers, mad rush and a certain «I don’t care about you» attitude.
2. Inside, this is a normal Costco as everything else.
3. Lines to check our are normal. Busy, crowded, but moves fast.
Overall, I always have a difficult time at this one. Last year, I actually cut off someone getting into the left turn lane. I was in the right, technically, but I did cut them off in a literal sense. I opened my window to wave an apology. Then when we were side by side, I rolled down my window to apologize.
The lady and her family were from the Middle East, flipped me off and started to yell at me. We parked near each other and she started to cuss and flip me off again, after I again apologized.
Unfortunately, the design of this Costco did not take into consideration the traffic and human ill will. This place is a recipe for disaster.

I’m a Costco fan and I am just not crazy about this one. It’s a super busy location with a horrible parking lot layout. There’s only one way in and one way out which creates a huge amount of traffic. There are cars that only want gas and then there are cars that only want to shop but you still have to go through the same one entrance. When you leave, all of the lanes end up in the same one lane to leave which creates a traffic jam in the parking lot! It gets dangerous with aggressive cars and people walking.
Once inside, the employees aren’t super friendly at all. You can tell they are just there collecting their paychecks. They don’t look happy and are somewhat rude. Would I recommend this Costco? Only if you’re in the area and need to shop but next time, I will drive to the other one near the airport.

Very inefficient Costco.
We got here at 10am and there was a huge line and everyone was rushing in while one female employee was barking at everyone. She definitely didn’t get her morning coffee…
We came here to return something and the like was super long. There was only like 4 people returning the merchandise. Waited about 20 minutes.
Looked around the store to get some essentials and tried samples.
We navigated our way to check out and the line was super long and there were only 5 people on the register!
Costco, it’s not new to you that there’s a lot people coming in on the weekends. Don’t be afraid to hire more people and put more employees on the floor.

Costco is great!
I grew up going to costco with my family, almost every week…
Now that I am grown up I do not go as often, as the food last a lot longer for only 2 people.
The prices are great, you have plenty of food to last awhile so you do not have to visit as often, which is a bonus for me, as I would probably spend way more money. Costco always has such great deals, and new items that attract my attention.
When we are looking for something different they always have a wide selection!
Recently they have added an «organic» section of food, which is popular for many people who are focusing on eating better food.
GAS is what I come here ALL the time for! Prices for gas are ALWAYS like $ 0.20 or more less than other gas stations! We save so much just going for gas all the time!

If I could live here I would. This is the friendliest, nicest Costco, and the people here have been working here since I can remember. I love going during the day (lunch hour!) and dashing out with things I need as well as little treasures that, well, I don’t need. I am and always will be a shopper!
Extra tip: (and you can trust me on this one) If you are in line, look for the guy in this picture. He is without a doubt the fastest one. Get in his line, even if it is the longest one, and you will be out of there in like 2 minutes. He’s so great at his job that I’m actually even a bit attracted to him, even though I could probably be his mother.

Costco is costco. What can you say? You can’t argue the price of everything you get and well, it’s costco! Lol
I like to get the occasional hot dog, loaded with onions, relish and toppings but really, only come here for grocery needs and gas. You definitely need to time your visit here perfectly or you’ll be stuck with long long lines for gas (peak time of course would be after work, 6ish) and rude people who’ll either bump you with their cart or leave their cart in the middle of the big aisle of Costco and still amazingly be able to block your path with the amazingly big aisle! Idk how people do it, they have a gift.
I do get sad when they discontinue items that I’ve grown accustom to purchasing on my visits here but he, you live and move on. So this Costco, like I said, gets very busy, a lot. I work across from the SF Costco, and their busy crowd is like SSF slow crowd. I may be exaggerating but it’s like going to in and out daly city. This Costco gets packed while other’s are so much easier. Too bad it’s the closest to home.
But as stated before, you just need to know one thing. Beware of blind customers and their carts, they will hit you and not apologize!

It’s Costco, so that automatically means parking is horrible and the lines are torturous!
The meats here are great. Every time. The fruits and veggies are plentiful, and cheap — if you actually use them before they spoil.
The gas station is no doubt the cheapest around. And by that I mean 20 cents cheaper than my «super cheap» station in Burlingame. BUT, the lines are horrible! I calculated that it would have taken us 15 minutes (at least) to even pull up to the pump today. I saw the line, and ended up paying more elsewhere, and I’m ok with that!

This is our go to Costco. They have everything we are looking for and I go to this location specifically for their optical department. This one can get super busy on weekends because of all the families in the area. Weekdays can be a little better. OH! and gas here is super cheap usually!
