In Covington, the Costco is much better than the Sams IMO. Food (pizza and hot dogs) is better, employees are better, checkout is better. Maybe it is because it is still fairly new and the efficiency wears off after awhile, but I hope not.

Every Costco I’ve ever been to is in the most inconvenient location and has the entire town shopping there at once

Is Kirkland usually better than Member’s Mark? Yes

Is it worth the extra hassle? No

The gas station is 10x better at Costco but I do miss scan and go a bit at the pump. More pumps, easier to get in and out of and you don't have morons pulling in the wrong way like there is at Sam's

Nothing but old white people at my Costco. I have never been a member till 4 years ago. I look forward to going there about once a week or so. Great place and zero issues shopping there.

honestly surprised sams hasnt figured out costco's model on the gas pumps; i never see ANYONE screwing up the line at costco and the couple of times i've seen someone jump out of line to get to a faster pump, the attendant is all over it and makes them circle around to the back of the line

long story short; don't be a dick

Costco gas pumps all have longer hoses than Sams does and can reach either side of my truck, but you still see people stacked up in the line for whichever side their gas tank is on

Nothing makes me realize how much western civilization is declining than seeing a soccer mom stretch that gas pump hose to its maximum across the top of their SUV.

Sams is a far bigger shitshow than the Costcos here even with the scan and go.

Also Costco's bakery >>>>>>>>> Sams

Booked a trip through Costco this past summer. Went to Mexico at an all-inclusive resort for 5 days, air fare, transportation to and from airport, 200 buck to spend at resort (did a couples massage) and 200 dollar gift card to Costco. Total for us:3300.00
Hell, I drank 1000.00 worth of pina coladas myself. Food was off the chart.

We went to Unico 20 87

In Baton Rouge the Costco not only has long lines but the parking lot is a disaster.

i live 10 minutes from Sams and just the difference on pool supplies is worth it. I save $7 per package for baking soda in bulk and chlorine is much cheaper.

scan and go is a game changer.
