Verified Reviewer |Workplace harassment
Hello I was harassed by members of the Coeurdalene Costco in Idaho. I was working for instacart filling an order when one employee started following me and harassing me making it impossible to do my job while he was talking and he wouldn't stop.
He kept following me around talking trash in my ear. I was so frustrated I had to just finish the order without being able to find all the items the customer ordered and a little while later I got an email saying I was banned from working at Costco locations.
I'm going to sue you for workplace harassment if you don't make this right. In Idaho it is illegal to harass any worker while they are trying to work, especially when the harassment didn't stop and he kept following me around making it impossible to do my job instead of just help me locate the items.
- Usually are very helpful
- Occasionally you get a evil employee that follows you around harassing you and telling you how bad of a person you are for not being able to find the costco products that they randomly move to new locations almost every day
Preferred solution: I was banned from working there unjustly and lost thousands in potential income. I want compensation for my lost income.
User's recommendation: Good luck out there

Verified ReviewerRefund Spoiled Ground Beef
Hi. I purchased 6 pounds of ground beef yesterday 12/29/23.
It was $25.10. When I opened it up the ground beef was spoiled and brown. I try to cut the brown pieces out but all underneath the top layer was spoiled.
I was hoping that I could get a refund. The packaging was deceiving because the top layer looked fine, but it was brown all underneath.
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified Reviewer |Unprofessional, rude service by Ewa Sherpa’s in the hearing dept
I requested a specific-sized cap for my hearing device, which I was leaving for cleaning. I was informed and did have to make an appointment for this service.
Ewa Serpas told me loudly that this was not allowed. She continued to shout that it would have to be noted in the computer. Okay, put it in the computer, but don't make another appointment. I left them; they were not cleaned, no new batteries were provided.
She is a nasty person. I was unable to take a photo because it's not working.
- Usually good service
- Fl location terrible wie will find another location
- Hearing pompano

Verified Reviewer |Banned from store 999 N Elmhurst Rd, Mt Prospect, IL 60056
I would rather, I think once is enough, not including the other times I have have shared my experience.
Costco is a Horrible company, they staff stupid, ignorant, self-righteous people with any accountability from their conduct and verbally abusive people with very bad attitudes. I spoke with a Marco at the Schaumburg IL location and when I had inquired about my application, and how had several time s every year without any response, He stated, We know hire *** like you didn't you ever think about that, ha ha ha.
better luck next time moron!I tried at Lake Zurich IL and they scheduled a few interviews which they canceled at the last hour and the store manager- Adam scheduled an appointment with me during his vacation and when i came in they said to go home and when I was contacted again and met Adam and his in his broken English that I am stupid for scheduling an interview during his time off..... when actually made the appointment.
Now you understand the basis of my experience. .
Last week I walked my local Costco and was told that I have been banned from the store for a violation, theft? in 12/2014. For the record I have never stolen anything from Costco and I recall that I was grabbed by security and falsely accused.
I asked what did I steal? and show me the proof, they did not produce any evidence of this claim and after 20-30 minutes security through a package of underwear...
They snapped a photo without my consent and I remember they made me sign a statement, which I stated, I NEVER STOLE ANYTHING and they laughed and mocked me. I was a paid member for many years with Costco, have been since the store opened and have been a great customer, spent thousands of dollars and all of sudden, I am accused of stealing ? Security said, Too bad !
Sincere then I have been banned for something I didn't do and I no recollection of being banned.
Please intervene and remove the ban, and let me become a member once again.
Regardless of what these liars have claimed and I have been falsely accused I think there has been sufficient time to life the ban and start fresh. There is no reason to continue to punishing me and which Costco has for 10 years.
- Great selection and good prices
- Horrible customer service
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: You're better off as a shopper, but watch your back. The so-called security are untrustworthy and very shady.
Tire Rotation
Appointment for my truck to rotate my tires at the recommended mileage.
Mentioned to the sales person to please have the technician adjust tire pressures to the manufacturers specifications of 60 psi for the front tires, and 80 psi for the rear. After driving home 3 miles into the trip, my low tire pressure monitoring system lit up showing roughly 57+61 psi in the tear tires 79+81 psi for the front.
Opposites of what I asked for specifically.
10 miles to home and I physically checked with my gauge each tire. All were as noted above. Called Costco and complained that this happens every time I go there with my truck.
This morning had to correct each tire as outlined my the manufacturer. Tried looking up complaints through Costco but there doesnt seem to be a link for that.
Consumer beware at this Flemington NJ store.
Preferred solution: Someone with authority call me and tell me this will be addressed.
User's recommendation: Check tire pressures before leaving

Verified Buyer |Bad costumer’s service
I went to Costco and ordered a pizza, and was 10 minutes late to pick up my order (from a 40 minute waiting period) and was asked to wait another 30-40 minutes due to being late those 10 minutes because of a 300 dollar Costco grocery trip. I was completely okay with receiving a cold pizza and made that clear to the workers but they refused and demanded I wait extra even when there were other visible cold pizzas laying around.
After that I went inside to ask for customer service seeing as this wasnt my first time having issues with the food court pizza workers, and went to the item return center to ask for help.
While I was there (because I wasnt aware of where else to go for help) the woman at the front desk despite seeing me visibly angry was very rude, laughed in my face, and ridiculed me to other workers at the return center for not being at the right place to complain and ask for help. I feel very disrespected and disappointed as a loyal 10 year Costco customer.
- Good merchandise
- Bad service and rude manager
- Bad bad customer service
Preferred solution: Price reduction

Verified Buyer |Recent return at store.
Recently, I returned a fan to my local Costco. I purchased the fan online the week before.
The fan didn't work very well and wouldn't connect to my Wi-Fi. Customer service scanned my fan and then my Costco card. I was asked no questions. I volunteered the reason for the return.
Customer service said my return would be 26.00 something and would I like store credit or? I don't recall the second option. I stopped her right there and said that's not what I paid. I paid 47.00 something.
She said you used a coupon. I said no, I did not. I said, do you want me to look up my order on my phone. She asked to rescan my Costco card.
Then came up with correct price at the same time I found on my phone.
This incident really concerned me. Wasn't what I paid, and how, displayed when my card was scanned???
Had this happened to me before, and I just wasn't paying close enough attention. Do they routinely do this to their customers???
User's recommendation: Pay close attention when returning at Costco.

Verified Reviewer |Membership number
Im still waiting long response times. System is not customer friendly.
Costco should deliver membership cardscards to your home. Customer should not have to go to store to pick up.
User's recommendation: Better response time

Verified Reviewer |Not receiving Costco Rewards
A Costco customer service employee in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin refused to look up my Costco rewards when I told her I lost my check. Eventually, she looked me up and found that my check was not cashed.
She refused to print me another. She is now refusing to mail me a copy of my rewards check.
I don't know what else to do. She is blocking me from accessing my agreed upon rewards.
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Avoid Costco rewards and customer service
