I love cheaper ANYTHING right now and to save on gas, as well as my stocking up, this is the place! Do I like paying a member fee? No. However, Ive saved in gas alone this year my membership cost! Weekends are crazy, so I do suggest a weekday!

Costco I was there for the first time yesterday was not impressed prices too high get better deals at Sams the only thing I enjoyed about Costco was brand new shopping carts at the parking lot everything else was pretty expensive I saw three things that I thought that were good pricing everything else was too expensive and lack of product couldnt find any sodas couldnt find any juice bags only organic I didnt see much choices of a lot of products couldnt find my detergent I always use didnt see many brands. Come on people am I the only one that got better prices at Sams and HEB compare your pricing people before you buy save your money save your money and compare prices before you go back

Costco when you find something really good it seems like eventually you dont have it there no more like the banana nut muffins I used to love buying them at Costco now all they have is the blueberry dont like the blueberry every time I find something I really like Costco knows its not carry it anymore why is this I wish that they would also get plus size clothing I feel totally discriminated I see these nice clothes never in my size they need to start caring 2X and 3X sizes Costco you need to cater to everyone I wish today would carry hamburgers at their fast food part and chicken sandwiches not just Pizza salad and hot dogs and I think seniors should get a cheap membership fee since seniors are on fixed income and you need to put more locations in especially in plant City closer

With all of the Costco sales incentives, the Costco Tire Shop is really busy. The online appointment system (unfortunately using a different logon/id than the Costco login credentials, will be the system that will schedule the appointment. No worries - My experience was excellent - the tires were at the shop when I was notified. My appointment was honored. The service was OUTSTANDING - primarily because of Anthony. He was in control, knew the system(s), inventory, scheduling, staffing, and was guided by superior customer centric personality and professionalism. Anthony was nothing less than an expert and didnt mind getting his hands dirty to 1) Provide the Customer the best service despite being sooooo busy and 2) Having a fantastic personality leaving me with a great experience. Having such a team leader is a tremendous asset to Costco.. Costco is lucky to have him.

Best time to shop is weekdays after 6pm. My kids live their pizza so i order it before i start shopping on the self service kiosk and pizza is done by the time i am done shopping . Also i love their Kirkland ground coffee in the resealable bag. Cheese and meat selection is superb. Fruit and veggies prices varies so i buy it here sometimes. Overall i am happy with selection that they offer. I am shopping here weekly.

Possibly the nicest Costco I have been to. Customer service is very kind and accommodating. Gas prices are the lowest here compared to other places and the layout is very easy to maneuver around. Will be coming here from now on.

Thanks for deciding suddenly family members cannot shop for their sick elderly father even with identification and membership card, that we have constantly done for years. Real classy sassy staff too, while youre not checking anyone in on self check out. Thanks for letting us in and saying that cards good though and wasting an hour of our time.

Always great. Food court is delish and extremely affordable. The receipt checker up at the front was really friendly. Dangerous place to go though if you dont want to spend money, I never end up leaving without spending almost $200.

I have been going to Costco in CW for over 20yrs. I have NEVER had a bad experience here. They are all super friendly, they remember me, and even make comments about how big my kids are getting because they’ve seen them grow up from babies. It’s so nice to have familiar faces to greet you, they always want to help and never have I had anyone be anything but over the top helpful when I had questions or needed to find something. I have gone to other stores for the same amount of years and they have no idea or don’t even care about me or my family, so it means a lot to have a huge store like Costco really put the effort in to make it feel like a small town marketplace for me and my family. They get better and better at the items they stock, more organic and GF items that we need, and lots of great deals for a big family like ours. Love this Costco!!

I have been to other Costco stores in the area but I think this one is the best. Every associate seems to love working there. All foods are fresh. If you buy something and do not like it there is a no question return policy. I had given it 4 stars but am changing it due to them installing lines for people with fewer items.

Can you believe this was only $45?!? I love shopping at Costco. The food is always fresh. The staff is always friendly. I mean seriously, why would someone want to shop somewhere else? Lastly, let’s talk about those Croissants though. They are so addictive, I’m pretty sure that’s why my pants don’t fit anymore.

What can I say about Costco? Ive had a membership for at least 10 years between two states. They have everything our large family could need. Lots of organic/gf/vegan options. Great seasonal stuff...however it would be nice if they carried clothing items that were a little more tailored to the geographic area. Several items Ive seen in winter in WA also appear in FL...🤷‍♀️. Anyway definitely worth the membership if you have a bigger family.

A day after shopping at the Clearwater Costco I realized I had purchased rotten peaches. I threw the peaches away and took pictures with my cell phone of the rotten centers. About 2 days later I went to the store with the original receip and told the customer service employee.....he was totally rude..would not look at my picture, talked to me as if I was a child, told me he would credit the almost 8 dollars worth of peaches to a gift card, not my credit card used to purchase them that I had in my hand! He then instructed me the next time I return produce to Costco, I MUST bring the box back that the rotten food was in....wow!!Fyi- I just joined Costco and bought the executive membership. Been a member of Sams for several years and never been treated poorly.

Weve been away from Costco for a few years and the only Warehouse type stores in our communities were Sams, and BJs.Costco is without a doubt the best out of them all but the only trouble is we have to travel nearly 2 hours to get to one.Costco if you read this have your location team scout out Ocala Florida (Horse Country where horses are worth millions winter) Ocala is the county seat of Marion County and is one of Floridas largest hubs Gainesville Florida is 35 minutes north and that means the University of Florida plus Multiple smaller colleges. We have a large multi-national community and above average income.Until then it either Tampa or Orlando...

Since they implemented self service lines I feel like we are being treated like cattle.. A worker named Ruthy was rude and aggressive stand on that circle!! Go there!! NEXT!! I am not going to be treated like a herd animal, paying for a membership you would think we would be treated better,. Costco i am ready to quit you after many years I will take my hard earned money elsewhere.

I went today at about 5pm with the express goal of buying a gold star $60 membership. The guy at the membership desk refused to sell me this and continually tried to upsell me on $120 executive membership and tried to force me to sign up for a credit card which I did not want.I asked him several times to stop the sales talk and process my membership but he continually refused.He was holding on to drivers license while doing this. I finally had to grab my drivers license out of his hands so I could leave.I was able to leave but was not able to obtain my desired gold star membership. I will not be coming back to Costco and will try Sams Club instead.I find it hard to believe that costo approves of such bullying sales tactics.

Review №57

I love Costco and the selections they offer, which is why I can understand why its always crowded. What I do not understand is why no matter what time or day of the week the checkout process is always a mad house, zoo, long lined mess! Makes me not want to shop nor step foot in when you see the lines going down the shopping aisles. Everything else is good; fresh everything, clean store etc...

Costco undoubtedly has the best baked goods. The pastries come in a box of four, and you pick two for seven dollars. Its a great deal. Unfortunately, Costco is not very serious about their mask policy. Too many people inside the store are either not wearing their mask, taking it off, or wearing it incorrectly, e.g under their nose. If Costco were to make masks mandatory for everyone, It would be 5 stars! Thank you.

Another great Outlet in the Clearwater area. I used to visit it regularly and found that they had everything that I needed or your family might need especially if youre shopping in bulk its a great place to get what you need and save money which is the whole idea of Costco.

Their commitment to top quality employees (above average payscale) and merchandise makes for fun shopping.Also the commitment to keeping customers safe (Masks required for entry...and gentle reminders to folks with chin-bras to kindly pull their mask up over their nose,) and early seniors only hours are appreciated.😷😷😷So much nicer than Sams Club...😉

Absolutely amazed at the way the manager Christian handled things today! No manager with any experience and customer care would ever do what he did. Great products but just flabbergasted how anyone could treat customers the way he does. Watched him yell at an employee full blast and then came over to me and had no customer care at all. Easy fix would have taken 30 seconds but he was to upset with His employee to care about a customer and that’s sad. Cost me 2.5 hours out of my day because of his anger!

Just left Costo at about 12:30 on a Friday. Waited in the customer service line as long as I could take it and left. No acknowledgement what so ever that we, and the people behind me were even there. One girl running the return counter even tapped one of the other workers, (who was busy with another customer) on the shoulder so he could check out one of the products that was returned. Its aggravating to see people smiling and socializing when you just want to get your business done and get on with your day. If there was a manager in there somewhere, that person should be fired. I will be terminating my membership when its up. Lifes too short to be treated like that.

Went to the car center for tires, they look at my car and tires and tell me what I need. I only wanted to order two at the time & they knew that . I pre paid for two tires and when I came back to have them installed I was told that I have runflat tires and so they would need to have 4 instead of two....I already pre paid and they had to order them so it would be another 3 days to wait for more tires...Horrible service gow would the technicians not know that when they looked and ordered my tires ??

Review №90

I continue to applaud all the Costco workers who come in early so that seniors can shop before the crowds come in at the normal opening time. This is such an important policy for a company to provide, especially during a pandemic, and I hope that it continues far into the future. One of the best features of this particular Costco is that it is staffed in such a way that the lines to check out are minimized; there is always someone willing and able to assist you, indeed to completely check out your purchases, even in the self-checkout lanes. I am a huge fan of Costco the company, but it is their employees, and especially at their Clearwater store, who make shopping there such a pleasure.Later edit:I still want to give a shout-out to those Costco employees who greet us seniors and available to assist at 9 AM, an hour before regular store hours. But I do want to comment on what appears to be a new policy regarding self-checkout, which is both customer unfriendly AND seems to be incredibly cost-ineffective. Since Costco introduced self-checkout sometime last year, it has streamlined the process so that lines are short everywhere and customers seem really happy to be able to spend more time browsing and less time checking out. The process, at least at the store I visit, was more assisted-self-checkout than anything else. You step up to a self-checkout counter, a staff member with a wand scanner quickly scans everything in your cart, you pay, and youre through in 2 minutes or less. About 3 weeks ago when I visited something had changed. There was now a self-checkout traffic director, whose purpose to this day remains a mystery to me. Even though there were 3-4 registers available, and 3 staff members behind him, he stopped me, told me I couldnt self-checkout, and to use the standard lanes. No reason given. A staff member behind him shook his head, waved at me to come through anyway, and again, was scanned, paid, and out the door in about 2 minutes. But this morning was different. That very same traffic director was there, barking orders left and right, but allowed me to step up to a register. What was different was that none of the 3 staff members behind him offered to help. My guess is they wanted to, but had orders not to. So I was left with (1) taking an item out of my cart; (2) scanning it; (3) putting it on the tray next to the register; and (4) putting it back into my cart. Traffic director kept telling me I was doing something wrong when the scanner froze up, so maybe that was what the 3 staff members were there for, to assist when something went wrong. Seems like a waste of time and talent. Anyway, it took me over 10 minutes to go take those 4 steps with my 14 items, pay, and get a receipt. In other words 5 times longer. Indeed, I noticed on leaving a couple already at the exit who were originally behind me in the self-checkout, transferred over to the regular register where there were 2 staff members, one to take items from the cart and return them to the cart after the other scanned them. So apparently this store has decided to make self-checkout so difficult and time-consuming that they want people to use the regular checkout. Im pleading with management to go back to the old way: you already have the staff there, standing there waiting for a problem. Why not utilize them as before to move customers through the line fast and efficiently. And please dump the rude traffic monitor; hes a disgrace to your store and a discredit to all the other fine people who work there.

Not a good sign up experience. They were busy so I will leave it at that. Got the feeling the women that signed me up had to up sell me on the membership. I was told I had to listen so I felt bad as I was only there to get something for my daughter who had a game that night. So I listen and then got the membership I wanted. Store was clean, hard to tell if better than Sams yet. Will find out...
