Costco

Precooked chicken is NOT! I have contacted Costco via their website stating their precooked (rotisserie) chicken was not cooked all the way through and NEVER rec’d a reply. The chicken ALWAYS has fresh blood in the joints. Please be aware of this and microwave the chicken before eating it.

I have only came here for gas, and not the kind of gas that come from your buttocks. I would have to say the area was clean and very well maintained and the gas was reasonable. This place does not have a market attached with the gas station, if you are looking for a quick stop to use the restroom, you are out of luck here.
The main reason I am not giving this gas station is 5 stars is due to the long lines, I am not saying I will not wait, but what I am saying they are long and wow some of those people in line really need to have their driver license taken away from them.
Overall the place is well lit, maintained, and clean all over.

This place sucks! The soda machine in the food courts sucks! Almost all the the flavor is either plain or too sweet. The only good is Pepsi. Wth!!! What’s it’s up with the tv! Almost everything is samsung!!! It seems like Samsung pay a lot of money to Costco just to market it. Employees are rude. They don’t care about customers service. Do they even deserve $ 18 an hour wages? Not me. Also this place looks like a zoo. They don’t accept Apple Pay??? Wth!

Rude Cashiers! I went in line today around 4 pm to save a spot for my aunt & for my sister. I let some people go ahead of me because I was still waiting for my aunt & sister. The cashier at cash register #10 suddenly asked me if I was ready and I said «no» because I didn’t see my aunt & sister yet. The cashier told me to get out of the line. I don’t know the cashier’s name, but it was a white & fat lady.

Really, it’s a Costco… what do you need to know? How to go in for 1 thing, but then come out with a cart and -$ 400 in your bank account? Yeah if you figure that out… let me know hahaha

While standing in the really long return line I witnessed an employee draw a happy face for a kid in the receipt checking line. So awesome! I’ve seen it before but I wanted to call out props to Gino
One thing that’s weird about this Costco is the tire center is right next to the indoor food court so there’s a strong rubber smell while people eat

You’re at Costco… in Fremont aka a city full of Asians. What did you expect? People who aren’t looking for deals?
Of course not! You’ll be greeted with tons of people who can’t drive (their shopping carts) and long lines at check out. But you can’t really fault Costco for having great prices in bulk!
Pro tip: avoid Costco like the plague on the weekends. But if you really need to grab some stuff, go an hour before they close because there is significantly less people!

It’s your typical Costco: bulk stuff, people in the aisles, parking, large carts.
Super friendly people. The people who work here I mean, not the people who block the aisles with their carts.
There were Hunter rain boots for like $ 80. I didn’t get any… this time.

Never thought I would ever give a Costco warehouse anything less than a 5-​star rating but I’m afraid I have to in this case. The workers here are stellar but the traffic and the number of people who shop here is outrageous. The combination of the two creates an unpleasant shopping experience. It is almost like shopping at the mall on a Black Friday!

Came to Costco this morning to print some huge posters and Wai in the photo department was awesome! Although he was by himself, he kept composure, gave everyone his attention and go people in and out quick. Thanks Wai for all your help.
Parking here can be painful, but coming on a Tuesday morning seemed to prove useful because gas lines were short, lines inside were short and I was in and out in ~30 minutes. When I left around noon, things started to become a zoo. I’ll come back and visit Wai for all my photo needs!

This Costco in Fremont is always a zoo with people dodging for parking spaces, moving and navigating around like slow herds of cattle inside, and battling for food samples like hungry vultures (please take one only and not for your entire family/​crew, LOL). It baffles me how crowded this store gets every day and night from opening to close (even during the NFL season, Sundays are a nightmare here; the 49ers 2015 season might be a reason).
That said and despite the fact that patrons like me are packed in here like sardines which I’m used to by now, it is one of the larger Costco stores in the Bay Area and offers more products than some of the others, and I appreciate its close vicinity to me. It’s been a reliable store and is always well stocked. Not to mention the fact that I can still get and enjoy my occasional $ 1.50 hot dog and drink combo, $ 2/​slice pizza, $ 1 churros, and various frozen treats! This Costco also has a film developing section, pharmacy, tire center, and gasoline station (pretty good prices, too). More good times to come at my favorite Fremont Costco…

Never have I been hit by a cart so many times… in a single trip. But really, every single time I’m here as well. Thus, for this reason and various others, this is my least favorite Costco to visit.
Items, etc: This costco is usually very stocked from food to electronics, etc. I can always find whatever item I’m looking for, so I know I can come here and 99% of the time they’ll have what I’m looking for.
Samples: One good thing about this costco is that virtually every single aisle will have at least two people handing out samples. So many samples, but the consumers are viscous… be careful!
Customer Service: I have to hand it to the employees here, I don’t know how they do it, but they do it. With so much foot traffic, I am amazed at their level of sanity and respect for customers… even the ones that don’t deserve it.
Parking Lot: Talk about a true cluster-​f. It’s so difficult to find parking here, best advice is park as far as possible and walk, but while you walk, be wary of bad drivers with little to no respect for pedestrians.
Customers: Yes, I’m reviewing the customers, because although this Costco is not responsible for the people that shop here, I want the world to know that some of the customers here are either lacking common sense or are just extremely disrespectful. Never have I see so many ill-​behaved adults. I’ve seen people shoving each other for samples, ramming into each others carts to get others to move out of the way and worst of all my ankles have been stepped in so many times I’ve lost count.
Overall: I only shop here because of convenience, but if it was up to me, I wouldn’t come here at all. I would highly, very highly recommend coming here right when the store is about to open. I cannot guarantee the most pleasant experience, but it will be a lot better than coming here any other time of the day.

I love Costco, but this store is always a mad house. I only use to shop here because it was the closest location. I’ve tried multiple times of day and day of the week. Every time it is always crowded, sometimes to the point where you physically can’t look around because you are too busy trying to dodge other people and their carts. I also feel this location, for some reason, had a plethora of individuals who have very poor cart etiquette (you know, the ones who leave their card in the middle of the isle to do something, or randomly stop in the center of a busy traffic area). This just added to the poor experience at this location.
This Costco does have a gas station – woohoo cheep gas (probably why I am giving it two stars other than also good prices)! Often there are also long lines at the gas station but if you go right around closing (9pm its normally not too bad).

This Costco is alwaaaaaays hustlin’ and bustlin’. Since it is at the Pacific Commons plaza, it is basically always packed.
The parking lot is huge so that is never an issue. They are very consistent with their products that they carry. The customer service is usually really quick and helpful. My favorite employees are the ones who are giving out samples and inform you about the products/​food that you’re sampling. They are typically super knowledgeable and not too pushy.

UMMMM what keeps me coming back?
Well, must I say I LOVE:
1) Costco samples
2) Costco food court
3) Costco gas prices
4) Costco awesome wholesale prices!
Parking here is quite the hunt, so be prepared! (Like any other Costco, really.)

This costco location is well stocked. The meat and veggie selection is good. The fruits can be better. they have started introducing organic, but still a large selection is not organic yet.
Also they do not carry any kosher stuff — with the large muslim community in the area (afghani, indian and pakistani) that is a huge market area they can capitalize on.
I like to buy my movie tickets from here –but they just increased the prices, so the savings are minimal now.
Went a couple of weeks ago to get a Vitamix. they have stopped carrying the brand. Was bummed.
The lines at the counter are a pain. There are very few manned counters and the wait lines can be bad.

One place I can begin is comment about some employees. Ryan M. is a young man who is going great places! I have had his name on cash register receipts, seen him at the Customer Service Counter, seen him outside the door promoting credit card enrollment, and even seen him doing go backs. He is very personable and efficient, and I predict he will become a senior manager within 5 years even though he is now probably only about 24 years old or so. Many, many others are excellent and I will defer commenting until I collect their names some day in the next several months. I do know of one employee whose conduct has been unconscionably bad in this store. Another one literally shoved me out of the way in order to put some things onto a shelf.
There are so many things I have to say about Costco, running all the way back to the days at the prior Albrae location. Not yet, not today.
One thing that I think is so important is that front end cashiers would do well not just to lay down the belt dividers next to the cashier. Instead, if cashiers could give the belt dividers a moderate shove of two or three feet back, it would help Costco members and the cashier to put purchases through the registers without expecting those Costco members to be Martians with arms that are 8 feet long. Yes, I have written the suggestion up and sent it to Issaquah, WA, since I am after all a shareholder. Hamid, who does push the dividers back, is one of my heroes.
I would really like to see a charge point for electric vehicles somewhere in the Costco parking lot. I think there was a charger years ago, but right now that is only wishful thinking of some folks in
. Or maybe take a look around in the parking lot at the Lucky grocery store on Mowry Ave. in Fremont.
Speaking of EVs there were 5 Costco carts in Target cart corrals near the Target EV chargers. One of the least things that Costco could do is to send a Costco employee each morning to move those carts back to Costco. I realize that member/​customer behavior is not totally within Costco control, though Costco should handle the situation. Target does offer a wider selection of many types of items, and some items you would not be willing to buy for bulk price savings. In any event, attention EV owners, let’s be considerate of Target! Leaving a Costco cart at Target is not being considerate of Target.

Located at the heart of busy Fremont area where new places to venture in were being established. This Costco were packed to the core and it’s very busy and crowded. Parking is also a war zone with drivers speeding through busy pedestrian filled areas and parking spots almost non-​existent. The lines were long and arduous that one must start lining up if you don’t want to get stuck waiting for what it seems like forever to get to the registers. I enjoy the Costco in my city where the lines are bearable and the crowd were just dandy. Glad I don’t live around this area or I would lose my mind.

I have been to this particular Costco for quite some time now and I am pretty satisfy with the store. This is close by and it’s located conveniently at the Pacific Commons. Parking can be such a hassle because there will always be a lot of people coming no matter the day and time. You can probably find parking that requires a bit of walking right away because some people are not willing to walk that far.
But Costco is pretty great. It’s pretty the same in all branches, in their items and placement. For what you’re paying as a member, the deals and the size of the items are so worth it. You are buying things in bulk and many people hate that, but it’s pretty great though. I guess this would require less trip to the grocery stores.
You seriously can’t go wrong with Costco. You can do some grocery shopping, grab a bite to eat (and it’s so cheap), and pump some gas on your way out! It’s all the things you need to do in one place! How awesome is that!

I’m coming from Milpitas, but on weekends this would be one of my go-​to Costcos. The Costco on Automation/​Brokaw is too crowded. This Costco in Fremont is conveniently located right off Auto Mall Parkway and 880 which is nice. So many places in Fremont are stuck right in between ⁸⁸⁰⁄₆₈₀ and are so hard to get to (I’m looking at your BART…).
Free samples, cheap gas, ridiculously low prices. What more is there to say? Only issue is parking can be a challenge since Costco is always crowded.
Pro tip: If you are getting gas, go to the right 2 lanes, they have 3 pumps instead of the usual 2 per side!
