Costco Wholesale — Local services in Chandler

In the grand realm of bulk-buy empires, where towering aisles are the skyscrapers and shopping carts the chariots of the modern age, our hero embarks on an epic quest—a journey not for the faint of heart nor light of wallet. The arena of valor? None other than Costco, the colossal cathedral of consumption.

Our tale begins in the dim light of dawn, with our intrepid shopper, armed with a membership card sharper than Excalibur, arriving at the gates of Costco at the hour of 8, a full thirty minutes before the battle begins. The quest was simple, or so it seemed: to venture forth and secure three sacred artifacts, items of legendary repute and uncanny value.

But, ah! The path of a hero is never straight, nor is it ever devoid of temptation. For upon the opening of the gates, a siren song of deals and discounts filled the air, leading our hero astray. The first challenge: a mountainous display of electronics, whispering sweet nothings of high definition and infinite connectivity. With a steely gaze, our hero resists... only to fall victim to a fortress of fleece blankets, softer than the clouds of Olympus and just as inviting. One magically leaps into the cart, a stowaway on the journey.

The odyssey continues, through the treacherous terrain of sample stations, where sirens with hairnets and plastic gloves offer morsels of ambrosia—bite-sized temptations that ensnare our hero longer than anticipated. Each sample, a feast fit for the gods, yet leaving our protagonist yearning for more. The cart begins to fill, not with the sought-after artifacts but with goods of unspeakable delight and questionable necessity.

In the heart of the labyrinth, our hero encounters the clothing section, a realm where logic and reason battle against bargains and bulk. Here, the second cart joins the fray, summoned by the call of cargo pants that double as shorts—a garment of such utility it could only be forged in the fires of convenience.

As the clock ticks, the realization dawns: the three original items, the very purpose of this quest, have eluded capture. Yet, our hero stands at the checkout, not with the modest bounty of three but with two carts brimming with the spoils of adventure—a veritable treasure trove that includes everything from a kayak (for those just-in-case aquatic escapades) to a 72-pack of batteries (because one never knows).

The journey concludes, not with the triumphant acquisition of the sought-after three but with a cornucopia of unintended treasures. Our hero exits through the hallowed halls of Costco, pushing forth the chariots of plenty, a testament to the unpredictability of quests and the irresistible allure of bulk-buy bargains.

Thus ends the tale, a comical saga of ambition, distraction, and the universal truth that in the grand adventure of Costco, one does not simply buy what one intends. No, in this land of plenty, the carts are never half full, and the list is just a suggestion—a parchment to be ignored in favor of the epic, the unexpected, and the utterly...

All I wanted to do on my day off is enjoy some Costco pizza and a hot dog with my wife but DEBRA wasn’t having it. With no signs or rules posted about how to get to the food area with new ID measures, I waited patiently in the return line to scan my ID, which I did, and entered through the exit. The man I scanned my ID with saw this and took no issue and even waved at the exit monitor to let him know I had already scanned in. I then waited for a man pushing carts out to go by even having a pleasant exchange with him and I proceeded to enter with my wife with zero issues. That was until super Karen, DEBRA, had to scream out behind the customer service desk in an angry passive aggressive manner, “WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING”? I said calmly, “to the food court”. She stated you can’t come in this way, you have to scan in first. I said, not only did I scan in first, I passed by three other people that had no issue with what I was doing. She stated, “I don’t care you have to go back through the entrance and scan again”. As to not enrage her further, I complied and did as she requested even apologizing to the people I may have gotten in trouble. I then went inside where all lanes are blocked with piles of carts so you can’t pass forcing you to go down an open lane and push your way past everyone do get some freaking food! This is ridiculous! If there were signs, I would have done as they instructed. Instead, I had to have my only day off ruined by DEBRA and her attitude just to get some freaking pizza and a hot dog. As an aside, DEBRA just glared at me the whole time slurping on her comically oversized water bottle as I ate making me and my wife uncomfortable the whole time. As we left she muttered some incoherent obscene sounding things in our directions. If anything, can you come up with a way to get to food court without dealing with tyrants like DEBRA? I tried to do the right thing and it just resulted in this super Karen and her passive aggressive attitude ruining mine and...

I have been coming to this store for more than 7 yrs and I now have like going to self check out. I thought this time I had to go to a r regular person to check me out due to signing up with a credit card Costco offers and had only the temporary card to purchase with. Well this cashier STEVE has no business servicing customers. He was rude and way over the top loud. Had no customer care skills what so ever. As one had a price check yells for a SUP!! Then deleted the item and moved on but as I asking him I want the item and just check for the price and yells again for the SUP!! To me all present supervisor and baggers all cared for how fast they can get you out . As then I’m asked to pay but yet no answer on the i sale item and asked three times and just ignored and pushed to pay.
