The store is wonderful EXCEPT, they keep moving some products around. It is one thing if the fish isle is one isle over. You can still easily see it. It is fine if the pop isle moves over one isle…it is large and you can see it. Fine, move the tomatoes and onions..they are still in the vegetable area. However, lately they have started moving individual products like canned tomatoes and bags of popcorn, in totally different locations very frequently. I have even asked staff if the products are gone and they say they know they are in stock but they can’t even find them. I have gone to four locations where I found a product before and it isn’t in any of them. This is extremely frustrating.

My rating would be five stars, except they changed the self checkout model so that a staff member has to ring you through anyway. The whole point of doing the SELF checkout is so that I don’t have to speak to anyone and nobody else has to touch my food/items. Please consider mandating hand hygiene and glove changes in between each customer.

It’s Costco – pretty much has everything you would expect a Costco to have. Getting in and out is very easy given the location. Parking and gas are very accessible. It can get very busy at times, but it is large enough that you don’t notice. The tire centre has always done good work for us and has things finished when promised. There is a Costco liquor store on site for those needing to forget the pandemic.

Store was getting busy, probably pandemic panic shopping again…..but that’s another issue. Friendly staff. Kind customers let us ahead of them because we were buying very little. It was really nice of them. Everyone wearing masks and adhering to rules as best they could. I was shown cell phones I was interested in, and they answered my questions well. Better deals if you’re getting a plan, I was looking at unlocked phones so it wasn’t as good. First real experience as a membership holding shopper, and it was good.
Prices are good on certain things but you have to buy in such large quantities which is okay for a bigger family, harder for a couple.

I REALLY like Costco, it’s easily my favorite grocery store and for good reason. Prices are excellent, selection is varied and the staff are always very friendly and helpful. The St. Albert location is my favorite and not just for the convenience it provides to me but the entire shopping experience is very satisfying. Thank you to all the staff for continuing to provide amazing customer service even amidst the current pandemic, you guys and gals are doing an amazing job!
