I like Costco. It's very convenient for me to get to. I wish the app could tell you which aisle…read moresomething is on. I walked around for 15 mins trying to find peanut butter. It was at the end of a frozen food aisle. There Dubai chocolate bars were on sale when I went. Really good. Only problem is as soon as I like something it's gone. If it's a seasonal product put a simple sign that says seasonal. Service - Other than the person who scans your items and the person 2 minutes later who checks your receipt- there is no service. They aren't rude. I don't expect much from them because I'm sure their goal is efficiency. I would go through self checkout because I usually have 5 or less items but there are people with carts full of stuff going through that line. It just becomes a mess. Prices can be good for some things. I price compare and sometimes items are much less somewhere else.

I'm not a member, but I frequently accompany my father on outings to Costco. As long as a slice of…read morepizza is in it for me, I'll be there. I thoroughly enjoy the Costco pizza. Its classic, greasy, tasty. I always get the pepperoni. I've tried the churro and find it to be a bit chewy. What is there to say? This is an extremely busy and crowded store. Getting in to the parking lot is a nightmare, the people here getting gas are the most blood-thirsty, inconsiderate group of humans you'll ever come in contact with. Alas... it's... worth it. Come for the rotisserie chicken, great prices on wine, stay for the adorable dog toys and ridiculous playground equipment and seasonal decor. I love walking around just to see what there is for the taking. The best part is walking around the entrance, AKA "the fence," to see what's new. For example, two gallon candle. While I'm not paying for a membership, I do believe that Costco is worth it for a household of any size larger than 2. I'm excited for the new Costco opening in Irondale!

I visited the Hoover Sam's Club today (12.12.25) to get gas & return two items…read more There was a line for all gas pumps when I arrived but the wait time was minimal. I noticed an employee was walking around speaking to patrons. When I got to the pump, I began my transaction using the Fuel Scan & Go function in the Sam's Club app. As I waited for my tank to fill up the employee, Mr. Kenneth, came over to say hello & wish me well for the day! I appreciate how intentional he is in making customers feel seen. Upon entering the club, I was warmly greeted by a joyful customer service rep named Whitney. She was busy placing previously returned items in their places yet still took the time to immediately acknowledge my presence & let me know she would be right with me. This kind of customer service is becoming rare these days & I geniunely appreciate the effort and intention! Whitney made my return experience seamless. Thank you! I decided to browse the toy aisles and ended up finding quite a few character themed items that my children would like. I hadn't planned to but decided to purchase a play mat for my youngest son as it was the last one of it's kind available. I'm well pleased with how this trip to Sam's Club went and will continue to return to the Hoover location in the future!

I went to this location for supplies. The entire store was nice and clean with the exception of the…read moretrash cans in the dining area. I stopped to grab a slice of pepperoni and cheese pizza before shopping. The staff were friendly but seemed a bit overwhelmed. The pizza was okay. It was definitely not the best I've ever had at Sam's but not the worst, either. My only real complaint with the entire store was the trash there at the snack bar. Pizza is now given out in single slice shaped boxes, no matter if you are eating it there or taking it to go. The tables and drink area were clean but the trash was overflowing into the floor. The trash was pretty mostly napkins and pizza boxes. I'm NOT a huge eco warrior but I cringed at the massive absolute waste on display. I hope they are at least recycling those boxes. I ate with my group and watched as employees noticed the trash, walked behind the counter, and ignored the situation. One of my group went up to ask if we could give the trash to them because the trash was overflowing and we're told to put it on top of the lid and they would get it later. When we left over an hour and a half later our trash had been piled with more trash. As we shopped we noticed how clean and organized the store was. Employees greeted us and seemed to be in good moods. Several of the people handing out samples took time to give us some information on their products and joked around with us a while. The ladies with the grapes and coffee, and the flirty guy with the orange juice were particularly pleasant and really added to our experience. Checkout was nice and easy and the ladies at the door checking receipts were friendly and cracked me up. They are definitely where they need to be. We left the store laughing. We got some really great deals, too.
