How does it compare to Sam's club? Costco is all over the place in Tucson I just haven't stepped inside yet.

Their house brand (kirklands) is generally pretty good quality stuff, prices are on par with sams usually. Costco doesnt have the same products all the time, most of the big name stuff will be there, but some thinkgs like the frozen foods may be hit or miss. We used them a lot for a while, but they kinda pissed me off when they didnt have IAMS dogfood for 3 months.

The one MAJOR advantage of Costco over Sams is their warranty on electronics. I can't remember but right out the gate you get 2-3 years. Not some foreign support either, American and pretty damned good. I've dealt a little with PC side and was very happy, and a little on the PC side.

I also seem to feel they keep higher end products in stock. Sam's does have nice stuff, but overall Costco seems to have better.

What I can't compare is customer service. I know Costco's is pretty damned good considering all the people there. Basically no-hassle returns and so on.

Excellent.

Never really cared for Sam's, but it was all there was. I really like the Costco here in Rockwall.

Good news. I'm a Costco homer for sure.

Costco doesn't always carry the same brands because (I've heard) that they just buy/sell shit they can get in bulk at good prices.

Like the "green egg" type grill I just bought from them, Vision Grills only makes this model for Costco, pretty much the same as the ones you can order from Home Depot and True Value, but a little over $100 cheaper, with slight differences.

Also, they have a much larger selection of organic fruit/veggies compared to Sam's, if you buy organic.

They take better care of their employees than Sam's/Walmart does.

So does a prison warden with his inmates! Fuck Walmart.

Yes, they take care of their employees very well. My wife makes a pretty good living there.
