On my last trip to Costco, September 3rd, I discussed\u00a0some problems and things needing change<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My return visit today showed that they still haven’t changed any of the items mentioned, in fact some were worse today.<\/p>\n

The Palmiers<\/span>\u00a0had not been restocked.<\/p>\n

The romaine lettuce\u00a0all had expiration dates\u00a0two days from today. Being in a single person household, I don’t mind buying the six stalks, but I expect there to be stock that has expiration dates of at least\u00a0a week from today at all times, I mean I’m not buying wilted lettuce from a half price store.<\/p>\n

The cashier\u00a0experience was again disappointing. Somebody in front of me had a paper check (why do they even still allow that at all?). The cashier then forgot to ring up the juice in my cart. Worse, there were long\u00a0lines *again* due to not enough cashiers being open, yet there\u00a0was an army of folks at the manager’s station. I mean every week this place acts surprised and like it’s a new experience to have customers come\u00a0up the registers ten minutes after the store opens.<\/p>\n

This store continues to\u00a0be the\u00a0most disorganized Costco I’ve ever visited,\u00a0I wonder why they aren’t taking the customer feedback more seriously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
