Fridays at Costco are usually a hectic experience with the crowds. I had some business with the…read moreOptical department so came into the store early at 9:30, a perfect time, excellent service they took care of me right away. The store wasn't busy so I made my way around and picked up what I could remember because I forgot my list. I had one prescription to pick up, which was also no problem. In the meat department the chickens were fresh out of the oven so I grabbed two and picked up some thick pork chops and fresh cod.. I was on a roll I tried calling my wife to see what was on my list but no answer so I did my best. The store looked great. It was packed full of spring merchandise. Lots of plants, palms, flowers, and ground cover. As I made my way up to the front of the store. I couldn't believe the long checkout lines and it was only 10:45 when did they all get here? The hot dog lines were almost out the front door. All the Costco workers were busy, friendly and helpful as usual Great experience today except when I got home I'd forgot to buy my coffee. I'll be back

Continously run in to issues with this Costco and that has been ongoing over the last few years. My…read morebiggest issue about this particular Costco is the front end/register employees and the entry/exit employees. I understand that their interactions are probably some of the more mentally taxing when it comes to customer service, but I have been to many Costco locations and this is the ONLY one I ever seem to leave feeling frustrated with the tone, rigidness, and words exchanged. I will say that the sales floor employees (food samples, deli, and occasionally floaters on the floor or fillers) tend to be pretty nice and on the opposite end of the spectrum, I usually have more pleasant interactions at rosedale Costco on the sales floor vs other locations I rarely remember a sales floor interaction. The gas area used to be very difficult, long lines. They remodeled it last year to accommodate more traffic and put in the sensors. It is consistently a quick and positive experience now. Because of my multiple encounters with negativity at the registers here, I do tend to purposefully go to the Panama Costco where I have never had a single negative interaction with an employee. I definitely recommend that location over this one.

The lady who was taking orders was so slow and had no sense of urgency even when she saw the big line in front of her. She messed up a guys order and proceeded to take 10 minutes to get his order right. Then, when she got another order she waited around and talked to another fellow worker. Costco, do better picking your employees.

Love my local Sam's Club, probably one of the best bulk grocery shops to go.If you don't want to…read moredeal with the crowding at Costco. The main difference between the Costco and the Sam's Club is the taste of the food. I'll let you decide which one is better. Also, the best thing , (the absolute best thing) about Sam's Club is they have self automatic checkout on your phone., no lines, no cashier, no people putting their items on a conveyor belt as the same time as you and not having to pull out your wallet and lose a credit card or your wallet. Is the reason I shop here. If Costco ever adapted this policy, I would probably never have to come to Sam's Club. Because it is pretty far away (12 miles) from my location but worth it not to stand in the line at Costco, which is less than three miles away from my home but way more crowded. This Sams club is in a great location and a great shopping center and probably one of the better shopping centers with variety in all of bakersfield. If you know of a better shopping center in Bakersfield, let me know and prove me wrong. so with that being said, i'm out..

"Justin" the supervisor was indifferent over the mistake by Costco at overcharging customers. I asked for a manager, "Dianna" came over. My complaint is that Justin did not apologize and was indifferent to me and my wife. Dianna did correct the problem. I called Costco Corp. to relay my experience and was told that Management are told that they do not have to apologize, even if they overcharge you. WOW, that's unbelievable. Costco so big they don't care if they "RIP YOU OFF". Maybe weight and measures will fine them.

I know that's Costco, so if you have a big family like the kind they made in the 1940's, 7-10 kids in your pack, then this is your store. The price for paper towels now, 12-pack is $20.49. Ordered a smoothie on my way out. What?! Who forgets to power up the machine? Wow this strawberry/banana smoothie is super sweet. I'm regretting this purchase. Until next time. See you on Yelp

The parking lot has plenty of spaces close to the entrance, the gas station has almost no waiting time, and they seem to have amazing prices than other locations on food items.
