We have been Costco Fans quite a long time. Today hit it for a quick shop prior to returning to…read moreCampbell River. Purchased in Meats a bag of chicken on sale and a container of their Large Pork Chops. Upon arriving home asked the wife where the Chicken came from - Canada. Then the P/Chops.........wait for it.......USA. We have a lot of Pork Processing in Canada ie: Neepawa Manitoba. So disappointed that we purchased Uncle Sam's meat - will be more cautious next time.

Sure this Costco is less busy than one in Toronto or Calgary... But my goodness the service is…read moreterrible. Cashiers just shoving your items right up against the previous customers, even if NOBODY is in line behind... making the space so tight, for NO reason. Also ZERO eye contact from some of them, they just push the debit machine toward you while looking elsewhere, as I hold out my CASH. So RUDE. Then they huff and puff when THEY have to change the cash out. Seriously. You are a CASHier. Costco is just another Woke Joke. The DEI hiring is obvious and the fact that this company even pretends to care about the environment - is laughable. Certain demographics are more rude than others, (we all know who I mean.) I find most working here are entitled, arrogant and posses ZERO personable attitude. 'Wasn't this way here 10 years ago. I also find it pretty funny that MASSIVE e-bikes (which are "motorized" with heavy, toxic batteries) are allowed to park at bike racks, taking up space from REAL bicycles, that are easier to steal - but a 50cc scooter that is smaller, is considered a 'motorcycle' and not allowed - although they offer NO motorcycle parking. BTW: A 20 year old gas scooter is actually MORE 'environmental" than a new Made in China ebike, made with child slave labour and horrible mining practices - but hey gotta push the EV BS. (EYE ROLL)

There are a number of hardware stores in Comox Valley and invariably I have stringent standards as…read moreto where I spend my or my clients money. While it may fit into the "BIG BOX STORE" category, Home Depot is my go to store for many reasons. To name a few: - It is huge and invariably you will find what you are after (NOT fruit and vegetables OK!) - Excellent hours (till 9pm during the week) which is often a lifesaver when the work days are just too full already. - The staff are mostly 'lifers', that is have been in the trade for many years and they tend to know what you are on about and where to find it. one of my pet peeves is staff attempting to give you smart advice and miss-directing you to Isle 20 when what you want is in Isle 3! - HOWEVER when it comes to lumber, where I spend most of my time, I often get frustrated in finding pieces that match my standards. My standards are set moderately high as the lumber I use will largely be on display rather than hid behind drywall. So finding planks that are not warped, seriously knotted, suffering from cracks, split ends or are damaged by the forklift can be a laborious task particularly when talking 2x12x16'. My 'find and keep rate' can be as low as 1 in 10 where as with studs as high as 8 in 10. Not to end on a sour note, their rentals and nursery sections are good, price matching has yet to be a problem . . . . all that is missing is that free popcorn!

Please, please, please do not buy a washer dryer from Home Depot. They are all over you to buy and…read morethen they wash their hands of you once it is sold. Our Samsung washer top loader broke down after 6 weeks. 1700. plus dollars and I have no washing machine for Christmas. They said a repair man would call in 24 hrs. No call and we are sitting here with a broken expensive washing machine. Buy from Costco where they back their products or Sears where they have their own repair people. Better still do not buy any washing machine with electronic digital controls. So unhappy with Home Depot.

Like many of the Quality Foods grocery stores around the island, they generally offer higher…read morequality products and service, at a higher price. The cashiers are especially good, as they are always happy and cheerful, something nice to see in retail. They have a large fresh food department, right across to hygiene products, snacks, meat and dairy, pet food and toys, frozen food, health food, and a big cheese section, as well as handmade cakes and fresh food created daily. They also have a chinese and a japanese 'restaurant'. There is also a kitchen gift store upstairs. Overall, a very friendly and helpful grocery store, if you're willing to pay the slightly higher prices for products.
