This review is for the Optical Department ONLY!…read more Anyone who knows me knows how much I hate Costco. I mean honestly, deeply, and truly abhor this place. Not this location, the entire chain. Having said that, I am very happy with the service and value I received from the Optical department. The selection of frames is nothing to brag about but it's good enough. The opticians seem to know their jobs. The wait wasn't excessive and I received enthusiastic advice about which frames would suit me (and my prescription) best. The measurements were quick but apparently accurate and my glasses arrived sooner than promised. The worst part: The optician would not stop pushing me to get a second pair of glasses no matter how many times I told her I neither wanted nor needed a second pair. "But it will only be $60 more!" Yes, and that's $60 I don't need to spend on something I don't want. The best part: The prices. The optician in my optometrist's office quoted me over $600 just for the lenses, frames extra. My total at Costco - progressive bifocals with high index lenses, frames included - was $233. Considering that I have no optical insurance this kind of pricing makes a big difference.

I usually enjoy shopping at Costco, but my recent visit to the Raleigh location was a bit…read moredisappointing. The store seemed understaffed, a lot of carts were overflowing in the parking lot. A lot of people were also waiting for the rotisserie chicken to come out. When one batch did, they were all gone within seconds. A lot of produce had stickers on the bags that were 2 weeks old. I grabbed a chicken bake and a banana strawberry smoothie from the food court. Both were just so-so -- not terrible, but definitely not memorable. Chicken bake was hot and filling, I can only finish about half with the smoothie. Only the cheesy, crusty bread stood out. The smoothie was on the sweeter side and thick that you can't drink it right away. Overall, still a convenient place to shop, but this visit didn't live up to the usual Costco experience. Hopefully it was just an off day. But I look back at previous visits and think it's not. One thing I normally look forward to is the samples, but during one visit a couple of weeks ago, one old lady who was handing out samples was a bit harsh when I took one from the tray. When I was getting my glasses order from their optical department, I put my name on the list to get in line. I kept coming back and forth and stayed close by. Saw there were no more customers so I wondered why they haven't called me. Finally approached one staff and she said there's no one in the list. Customer service also felt a little off. The staff I interacted with weren't particularly friendly or helpful, which stood out because Costco is usually better about that. Costco is still a good place to buy things in bulk and worth going to, but I would rather go to another Costco location than this one.

I tried everything and the food took forever and everything was gross. Lol the lady made me change my order to pepperoni pizza cause the cheese one has been out too long.... so a bit nervous on the cleanliness and the food safety.. now I just shop here but never the food court.

Wonderful people that help with the selection of products and quick to give you an accurate quote. Like I know them forever. Great customer service, they even help you load your purchase if you park at the dock and the waiting time is very small when you have an account

My order was ready in less than two-hours. Was notified via email. When I got to the store, only waited about two minutes. Easy to find the pickup spaces--there are at least 30 to choose. The Associate was very nice and friendly. Great experience!

1-Star Yelp Review for Walmart Auto Center…read more I arrived at the Walmart Auto Center at 4:15 PM, only to be told that they close at 4 PM. This was incredibly frustrating because the sign posted at the location and the website both clearly state they are open until 7 PM. If they've changed their hours, it would be nice if they actually updated their signage and online information. I wasted my time driving here and got absolutely no help. Completely unprofessional and disappointing experience. Will not be returning.

(I am 57 years old now.) Hamrick's is my go-to place for reasonably priced, work-appropriate, professional, well-made clothing. They have plenty of employees at this location that are friendly, knowledgeable about their brands and professional. They make you feel appreciated. Refreshing indeed! Headed there today, as a matter of fact, and they are all the way across town. Definitely worth the drive! Highly recommend!
