Ode to the Quarter-Pound Plus All-Beef Hot Dog from Costco O noble dog of warehouse fame, Long may the mustard bless thy name. No dainty snack, no fairground fraud-- But honest meat, substantial, broad. You rest in bun of humble grace, With onions once in rightful place, And ketchup's red democratic art Still dares improve your working heart. For one-fifty--drink included still-- You mock inflation by sheer will. Empires rise and markets jog, Yet unchanged remains the Costco dog. No truffle aioli clouds thy worth, No artisan brioche proves thy birth. You ask no praise, yet earn devotion, A lunch, a legend, and a motion. How many shoppers, carts in tow, Have paused beneath your sodium glow? Tired souls emerging from the fray Find meaning in your paper tray. O quarter-pounder, stout and true, The commonwealth has much to you. If someday I depart this life, Mid worldly noise and mortal strife-- Let no grand feast attend my wake, No sugared tart, no funeral cake. Just raise one dog in tribute high, And let the fountain cola sigh. For kings had banquets less profound Than joy for $1.50 found. And if heaven has a food court line, May your warm foil-wrapped light be mine. read more

My wife and I enjoy visiting Costco at Tatum and Cactus which is a much nicer Costco than some others and less hectic and lines than other locations. There are still days and times where there are long lines but Costco does different things to speed up the lines including self-checkout lines. We enjoy walking around, thinking of what we can use and what we can get as gifts for others, and trying the samples (well, that's more or less me). My wife has used almost all of the different services and departments before. It's clear that there's something for everyone in Costco. Once you are a member of Costco, you can purchase gas at the Costco Gasoline locations. There are then plenty of items including groceries that you can purchase often in bulk. The website now also includes a "treasure hunt" which is simply a rotating selection of items marked down or priced at extra value for a limited time. There is also a food court with very reasonably priced items including the long-time favorite of a jumbo hot dog and drink for only $1.50, which my grandfather and I used to love to get together. There is also travel, photos, pharmacy, optical, and more. Plus, you can get some tasty samples and even buy discounted gift cards. So joining Costco is about a lot more than just the gas, though that's certainly an attractive and added bonus to being a member! You can see the Costco website for this location at https://www.costco.com/w/-/az/phoenix/1058. Services include the gas station, food court, pharmacy, tire service center, optical department, and hearing aids. Other departments in the store including the auto buying program, bakery, fresh deli, fresh meat, fresh produce, membership, and T-Mobile cellular kiosk. Their Gold Star hours are weekdays from 10 AM to 8:30 PM, Saturday from 9:30 AM to 7 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM. These are the same hours for Business Members, and Executive Members can show up for an hour earlier on weekdays and Sundays and 30 minutes early on Saturdays. While we stopped by briefly today, we look forward to doing some holiday shopping there soon. read more

Well, finally had to get tires for the wife's car. Put on a set of Michelins, they were able to order the OE tires and have them within a couple of days. Perfect match, and best price around. They beat the lowest quote I got by $80! Checked with Firestone, found out they didn't carry Michelin, then checked with Big-O and some other place. I'm happy with the purchase and the wife says the car drives smooth. Recommend Costco tire center to everyone. Thanks for the great work and not making a mess of the car. read more

I used this Costco during my trip to Phoenix to get set for a friends get together dinner. I was doubtful when I started that would I find everything here, but this Costco got it all. The parking was bit challenging but able to find one. Typical process where you will get Id checked and then enter the store that will make your membership payment worth it. The staff is friendly in answering your questions. The collection of goods is of top quality both on the groceries, drinks and other home needs. I am impressed with the value for the money these locations provide. Plenty of options for seafood, meat. The salmon here is amazing and the raw frozen Shrimp served well for the party. The Bakery is great with lot of unique collections. This is a great store definitely on my list during next trip to PHX. read more

Stkpped for Gas! Pump shared my card had expired. When crazy when i renewed my Membership.? Being an Executive Member has its Perks; 2% back on everything i buy. Spent $267.67. Bought things i thought i would eat. People knowing i had attained A new level of Status treated as if i was Royalty! Fun adventure. Shared i was a Single desiring to be a Couple. That is a Completely different story? Loved the variety and prices. More expensive like all food shopping trips. Inflation yes; caused by Higher wages and Manufacturers passing along their increases. Got through checkout in 7 minutes, timed on my iWatch.. Great employees who answer questions with information that makes sense I shall return monthly. Jeffrey recommends this Clean, efficently run, well stocked store read more

Been going to this location forever now. I'm already autistic and their customer base really bothers me but the employees especially in the optical department are the sole reason for most of my stars lol I love all of them they are all going to go places in life. But anyways today I had a bad experience with a receipt checker. For the first time my mom and I didn't have a receipt to check so we made that joke to him and he didn't even smile or look in our direction at all I felt like I was in the afterlife and he couldn't see me. That being said he may have had earphones in but still I pointed and clearly chuckled as I was jesting in a close proximity to him. I think theres a million other better suitors for that type of pay for such a basic job. They get paid great and have benefits hire someone nice and fun he was not. Maybe meetings need to include a stand up comedy portion idk but something has to change with this one dude in particular. Everyone else is always kick ass tho love yall! read more

Have been member since 1986! Price Club way on west side. My "happy place"! With the proximity to my home now, I have trained myself to actually run in for 1 thing....well sometimes it works! Parking? I don't mind circling, I love a challange! Greeted by Bill for years, Jennifer in the Pharmacy.....quality items @ at a great price! love Costco PV location!!!! read more

Fucking ridiculous the lady out front says oh they won't let you in at 9:55 because of the card you have lmfao I already pay you money for the year it's 5 mins that's a fucking joke. I WILL NOT BE RENEWING. Will not be paying them anymore money for their cult of a place. Having me stand out in the cold with a 2 year old is ridiculous. read more

For $65 a year, you get access to great deals for bulk. Perhaps the greatest advantage of a Costco membership is the fact that you can return almost anything you buy with virtually no time limit and to any Costco of your choice. You also get access to a great food court featuring high quality products at great prices. In addition to this, Costco features deals on a monthly basis. On my last shopping trip, I saved $124.70 just by primarily buying items on sale. Also, the membership gives you access to gas prices that are cheaper than all other gas stations. There's a lot to love here. read more

The PV Mall Costco customer service has always been good to excellent, depending upon the employees at the pharmacy (excellent) or at checkout (majority personable and friendly, on the rare occasion some are drones/on autopilot without good communication skills). ‍ Jenn at the pharmacy is exceptional, friendly, personable. We always look forward to seeing her--she remembers her customers and is knowledgeable. Costco items are good but if you're looking for the rare high end products, go to the N Scottsdale store, they're not at the average Costco like the PV Mall Cactus Rd Costco. All that said, we love our "little" local, neighborhood Costco and are there, on average, once a week. The yearly rebate and low bulk pricing keeps us returning often. read more

Costco was right near the Theatre we visited so we made a stop here. Saturday afternoon is not the best day to visit. I had a short list so my visit only lasted 15 minutes. I was not very familiar with this location but managed to find everything on my list except for one item. I did two impulse buys of apricots and sliced almonds but know I will eat them. A few vendors had their usual items to taste test in the hopes a customer would pick it up to purchase. This Costco was packed inside and out. I went to the self check out and had to wait briefly before using the system. There were staff working at every self check out register. I am not sure I understand how this is self check out. However, it's ok by me if they want to scan my items. Large busy outdoor parking lot and WiFi in the warehouse. read more

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable sales staff. Rarely are there long lines. And of course awesome deals

My review is for the Pharmacy only. The manager of this pharmacy was very rude, condescending, and unprofessional. He also gave untrue information regarding a medication, which I believe is concerning and unsafe. For such a busy store, I would recommend that this Costco location hire a better pharmacy manager, who is a professional and takes his job seriously. read more

It's been awhile since I've had a Costco membership. For a family of two vegans that don't drink much or buy granola in bulk, it just doesn't make sense to me. However, some of our appliances are starting to fail, so it might be time to look for big bargains. I agreed to go in with my husband for the basic membership just to see some prices and maybe find a product or two that could be worth getting. Little did I know that getting a Costco membership nowadays is about as tedious as sitting through a timeshare hard sell, but without the free vacation. I was so tired and annoyed after the endless attempts to waste our time with their pitches that I didn't even want to shop after. My husband has promised me that it's the last time I'll have to go in (he does the grocery shopping mostly) until it's time to get a new TV. I'll hold him to that. read more

For those of You looking for hearing aids. My experience at Costco, Paradise Arizona, with Shaun was beyond and above great. Earlier I purchased hearing aids from my ENT doctors audiologist for $5,400. returned them as they just did not work correctly. The doctors office took ten minutes to explain and show me how to put them in etc. Shaun, spent an hour with me fitting and testing making sure my purchase achieved my objective. There are not enough superlatives to describe my shopping experience. Can only say than you to Shaun and the Costco team for their assistance. do not go anywhere else! Philip Lynch, Rio verde, Az The better hearing aids were $4,000.00 dollar cheaper read more

I was at the checkout and one of the employees (petite lady) wanted to scan my ( only one ) item ( not alcohol) and when I was paying wwith my citi credit card ( issued by costco) it didn't go through and I needed her help , she replied back to me ( it's your issue with bank not me ) in a rude tone, I tried it again and the transaction was completed, so next time hopefully she won't jump into conclusions, it happened today at 4 p.m , I am a costco member for long time read more

I believe i have just met the most rude person waiting on me at the Costco Optic trying to buy glasse today. . She was so condescending and rude that i nearly vomited on her. I will never buy here. She acted like she knew more than my opthomologist and told me to go to the dollar store and hold things close to my face. Are you kidding? So unprofessional, disrespectful, a doctor wannabe. No thank you! I would have given a lower rating if I could. No disrespect to Costco as a whole. read more

I love Costco! The one nearest us shut down and now we are going to this one is our nearest. We love it as much as ours. I sent my husband to get a cake. They didn't have the kind we wanted in the case ready to go which was kind of a surprise. But my husband decided to ask the staff if they had one in the back and they did not. However they said they could have one ready at 10 AM the next day since this was not for a birthday party this was just for my family who Felt like having cake we took them up on that. One of the things I love about Costco is if you can find a person they are super friendly and helpful. I'm so glad were able to drive to this Costco since our shut down. I love going to Costco somebody online once said "you don't go to costco Because you need something. You were at Costco show you what you need" read more

Anyone else have issues with the rotisserie chicken on Monday, March 24, 2025 at the Paradise Valley Costco? We picked one up after 4pm for dinner, fresh out of the ovens, brought it home, and it was dry as a bone. It had juice in the bottom of the bag, but the meat was dust. Even the dark meat! Way overcooked! We have never experienced this with a Costco chicken before so I wondered if anyone else had an issue ... maybe it was fluke read more

This review is for the vision center ( we had very good results with a Dr. who moved to another office), we used the "new" doctor. My wife's exam seemed to go ok, they tried to upsell a number of services including buying glasses there. (We have another vendor who we use for glasses, a better value) We ordered the glasses exactly according to the RX- and the vision was way off. She went back to costco who confirmed that the glasses were as written, but that he'd made mistakes in the exam. A second exam was needed ( no cost, but c/mon) Glasses made to the 2nd exam were fine. We are fortunate that our glasses come from eyebuydirect.com and they allowed us an exchange, we only paid extra shipping. ( $15 x 2). Looking for a new vision care doctor... Everything else at that costco is fine, the tire center guys are good but the selection seems to be smaller- everything I need is a special order, like prius tires- cripes, the parking lot is half priuses and your going to let those customers leave for discount tire ? read more

I love going to Costco for a shopping .I do feel some prices are priced but the very experience in itself is worth it plus the food and items here are so good that it's worth being Costco member by applying for the membership card and having the perks of gas and food counter here like the pizza and the sundae and the electronic appliances food items and other stuff here makes Costco experience happy read more

this is a really good Costco location. I love coming to this location anytime I need to buy a bunch of food and bulk. I actually have a pretty small family so I do not always get to come to Costco and buy bulk items. But during the holidays when I have a lot of my extended family coming over to my house it gives me an opportunity to come to Costco and buy a lot of things in bulk so I can feed multiple people. Every time I come here they have everything that I'm looking for. I even stopped by and bought a TV from this location once before lol. I literally have like seven TVs in my house. I definitely did not need another one but the deal that they had on their TVs was so good I could not pass it up! it is the winter time now and my lips get chapped pretty easy. This Costco location has my favorite chapstick or lip balm that I put on my lips to make them feel moisturized. I love buying this at this location read more

I had an eye exam appointment with Dr. Habiby in the optical department at the Paradise Valley location this morning. This was by far the most thorough eye exam with new and old technology combined using trial frames/lenses. The doctor checks your vision like they normally do and follows up using these lenses and has you step out to look out in the store and you can see far or near or whatever is out there in the in the store. This will give you the most accurate prescription possible. You will no longer have to wait for three weeks for your brain and eyes to adjust to a new prescription. Dr. Habiby is professional with an amazing sense of humor and truly cares about the patient. A must see ***literally*** read more

Costco - Me, a Happy Customer! - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Costco Optical is straight GARBAGE! They slide you into deals with untrained opticians lacking the knowledge to sell medical products to patients. I was sold a pair of $180 Feragamo's and upon receiving the glasses realize that they don't fit properly and/or the RX is off. Also they sold me 140's instead of the 145's... again some thing that their employees should have checked and verified before completing the sale. But they don't care about selling you the right thing, just anything. So remember two things when shopping here, the lenses will be significantly heavier than the test frames and the employees could care less about you... just your money. Now even though I've NEVER been provided a product that is in proper working condition or that fulfills an order for a SPECIFIC product, I am being forced to just get over it. No refunds and no exchanges. I am not asking for a refund or exchange though. I'm asking for you to provide me the product that I bought initially that should fulfill my need for RX glasses. Why would I buy a case of water from you when all the bottles are empty when I'm trying to quench my thirst? Just doesn't make any sense. Now unfortunately due to their poor customer service, lack of knowledge, overall laziness and genuine lack of actual care or empathy.... I'll just dispute the charges on my debit card and you'll get nothing. Thanks for the free sunglasses that do fit and work as intended. read more

I love Costco, but this Costco has become way too busy. Since the Central Phoenix Costco closed, everyone has been coming here. I can't imagine how busy it will be when PV mall opens up. I find it has incredibly long wait lines and often will be out of essentials. They just need to open up more locations instead of packing everyone in this one like sardines. read more

A wonderful experience. Upon entering the establishment we were immediately greeted by the hostess. She required that we we show identification. Normally this would turn me off, especially since we didn't even have reservations, but this is an exclusive members only restaurant so we played by the rules. . Similar to a Cracker Barrel, you enter through their expansive gift shop. I purchased 800 paper plates which will last us a lifetime, and my partner found a good deal on a gallon of pistachios. You can order at the counter or on a kiosk. No table service was iffered, but with their great prices we understood. A lot of patrons were waiting on their hand-crafted pizza but we were there for the most popular menu item: steamed hot dogs! They came out within 17 seconds, piping hot, and gently tucked into warm, soft buns. You are offered simple topping options like mustard, ketchup, onions, and my fav, relish! A soft drink was included in the hot dog combo meal, and all of it was prepared to order for the amazing price of $1.50 plus tax. The hot dog was everything I expected. Salty with a snap. And very filling. We both were impressed! Looking forward to going back agaun with friends and out of town guests if we can get them past the histess. Good for kids. No reservations accepted. Relaxed dress code. read more

Can anyone live without costco? This place is out of control awesome! The staff are always smiling. Jewelry, mattresses, kitchen supplies. It's nuts. You can get a battery or tires for your car.

Today at 1:30 p.m. I was at the Costco on 40th Street and Cactus in Phoenix. I was here to purchase a gift card for my friend's birthday. The greeter said I was not allowed in because I did not have a membership. I said politely that all I want is a gift card, not to purchase other items. The manager also said I was not allowed in. This was extremely rude and embarrassing. I work full time, I have a toddler and am also 22 weeks pregnant with limited time on my hands. Your rule does not feel inclusive, and it also is an inconvenience to others who may not be loyal customers (yet) or familiar with your rules. I understand people may have abused your policy in the past, but not everyone does or will! I am a family of 4, we were considering getting a membership at Costco. But based off of this distasteful experience, we will now be considering Sam's Club. Please be more inclusive with members in your community and revisit your business policy. read more

A employee in the self-service checkout interrupted me, without asking, to retrieve a hand held scanner from behind the scanning equipment I was using. I had four items; she could have waited. Because she interrupted my thought process, I completed my checkout slowly. She proceeded to point out to me that I should use the P-I-N P-A-D (yes, she spoke very slowly) to complete my transaction as though I were a three year old. If you want to provide customer service, don't interrupt customers who are trying to pay for their purchases. read more

The absolute worst customer service today. Ordered a pepperoni pizza and I still had to wait 30+ minutes for it while people who ordered specialty pizzas (1/2 this & 1/2 that) got theirs before me. I kept asking and was continually told ours still wasn't ready. Meanwhile - we all could see the pizzas backed up in the oven and pushing out of the exit, almost falling to the floor. They had one employee working the station and it looked like some comedy train-wreck assembly line skit. All the pizzas (including ours) got over-cooked and even my grandson (who'll eat anything,) wouldn't eat it. Finally, I got another employee to look for my pizza and it had been done for 10 mins. A very disappointing experience. And I was there at 4pm...not during the after work rush. This location needs to get their staff knowledge/work-flow improved. read more

Costco - For the grandsons And let the games begin! To my daughter and son-in-law...you're welcome! - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I hate leaving bad reviews because I'm not that person but I was so annoyed with my experience here. I purchase a new luggage set for my trip home and when I opened the box it was clearly used! The suitcases were covered in scratches and dog hair! I called customer service and management here and my only option is return the item. I mean sure that easy but I live in SLC and specifically went to Costco right before my trip home so I wouldn't have any crappy bags or issues because I'm on a time crunch. They said take it back when you get home to SLC? I mean really? That's the only solution for selling me something used that shouldn't have been sold in the first place. Terrible customer service for a store I feel has higher standards and known for customer service. read more

I was ordering food with my friends at the self serve kiosk and hadn't finished ordering our food yet. A lady, Gail, who I assume was a manager, walked up to us and told us in a rude and impatient tone, to move along to the food pickup station. We were all very confused and finished our order but we were very upset at the fact that we seemed to be looked down upon, or as if we weren't deserving of the same respect everyone else got. read more
