Costco Wholesale — Local services in Silver Spring Township

Was there for the grand opening. It wasn’t as crowded as I would have expected, but it was a rainy day. The aisles are wider, but all that means is that people take up more space in the aisles anyways so you still have to go around people cause people don’t pay attention.

The wotkers were doing their absolute best on opening day. I was terribly overwhelmed by the crowd but that crowd is to be expected for the grand opening. There was staff diligently sweeping filth customers dropped off the floor and observing the kitchen staff they were running like a finely oiled machine and the girl calling out orders keeping everything moving and the counter clean.
