Costco Wholesale

Normally a slower costco than others.

Just got my membership today! Late to the party, but at least I showed up. Member service was informative and fun! We spoke with 3 different people( we didn't mind)and each as nice as the last. Store was well kept, and we had fun looking around. And snagging some good stuff! And the greeters are a pleasant way to start your experience and the same when you leave.

This place has it ALL. From a great fresh food section, pharmacy, clothing, TV's and appliances, beach needs.... Wonderful store. Helpful staff and good prices.

I am generally a big fan of Costco. I was very excited that they came to St. Cloud and I spend a lot of money there every month. I usually need two carts! This morning, however, the doorman at the entrance was extremely rude about enforcing mask wearing. I was not causing a problem and was socially distant. Two managers came to tell me I must wear a mask. I was willing to have a reasonable conversation, but one of them was extremely rude to say the least and demanded I put on a mask right away or they will cancel my membership. I have not been treated in such a horrible manner in any business since the pandemic began. I sincerely believe that masks are not helping the pandemic. It has turned people against each other out of fear. When does it end? I believe that mandates are government overreach. Costco having its employees take it upon themselves to seriously enforce the mandates in such a manner is unacceptable. I can respectfully shop at almost any other business without trouble. Use common sense. Do masks really stop such a small microscopic virus particle? Do people actually wear a high grade medical mask and wear it properly? Is that the real problem and are enforcing mandates the right solution? Hopefully this is something that changes, but I'm concerned that we could become as bad as Italy, France, or Australia with lockdowns and masking and vaccine passports out of the excuse to manage a virus that is no more than a bad flu. How far does it go?

Always a good deal on item's you need and some you don't.
