Costco fresh wild pacific cod - worm found!!

On February 17, 2018 I bought the Fresh wild pacific COD at Costco (Location: 900 South Harbor Blvd., Fullerton, CA 92832) for dinner on around 5:xx pm.
As soon as came back home, I was trying to cut and surprisingly found a worm on the fish. Immediately I took the video and the original package is now kept in my freezer.

I thought Costco Food Safety was very reliable and now I'm very unhappy with your food safety control, and I'm scared to buy fish any longer. I want to know what this worm is, any poison, lay eggs, etc... this worm dies when cooking? then what temperature? I'm not sure if salmon will be safe to eat. Salmon is my favorite and I buy it at Costco frequently and I had enjoyed it a lot so far, but if those worms were in salmon and now I feel like I am vomiting.

I don't know how FDA or heath department regulates regarding worm in fish like this incident. My two sons and I are very unhappy with this incident and shocked. Just refund $15.50 may be not enough for us at this time.

If you do a simple Google search you will get your answer. It's common in fishes to have parasites, it means it's fresh and it's from the wild. They are harmless and just cook it well done. They cannot survive in heat. All fresh fish from the wild have a chance for this

Costco unethical behavior

Date of Incident: 02/16/2018
Costco Location: 5301 Almaden Expy, San Jose, CA 95118

In Costco, I have generally seen people tasting Grapes from grape box. There is no sign that says I cannot taste. I have been Costco member for 20 years and I have never ever had someone tell me this is wrong.
Today when I was checking out, I was give additional two grape boxes. The employee told me that I have to buy it since I tasted it. She was very rude and said that in future my membership will be cancelled If I ever found tasting grapes. I was forced by the grapes box which was very sour and was also threatened of cancellation of membership.

Costco application credit card/gift card for applying

To whom it may concern,
My name is Ruby Salas and my Costco member number is [protected]
The day I applied for a regular Costco membership card the lady that was helping me insisted I apply for a credit card and I would receive a $60 gift card. I asked her if I would get the gift card right then and there to which she replied "Yes! As long as you apply and you can also upgrade to a black card which you can get back 2% with a purchase and get it st the get of the year and so on.."
I did let her know I wasn't interested because my credit was low and I didn't think I get approved BUT if I get the $60 gift card and I do upgrade then it's like paying nothing out of pocket, so why not!? I ended up applying and come to find out once all said and done she tells me I should be receiving my gift card in the mail in 5 weeks even though I didn't get approved. I was so mad because she already up graded my card to the black card and had me pay and kept telling me that I would get my $60 but I didn't at the end. The manager came to speak with me and also assured me I was getting it in the mail. Fastfoward to 5 weeks and I call the store to let them know and they tell me wait another another 4 weeks. Well, I still haven't received it and when I went to the store to speak with a manager they told me to submitted a claim. He also told me I wouldn't get the gift card because I wasn't approved. I would of never ran my credit through if i knew it was based on approval for the gift card, just figured I'd get something in return with it. Usually some stores offer something even without approved credit.

Costco lg dishwasher

In July 2017 I purchased an LG dishwasher and went out of town so was unable to use it in the 90 day warranty period. When I used it I found out it didn't drain and contacted the Costco team who contacted LG. two times LG sent out people to inspect and repair the unit but nothing mechanical was found to require repairing. But it is a Smart LG dishwasher and I think something is wrong with his programming . in any case it doesn't drain in my home so I am stuck with $1, 000 dishwasher that doesn't work properly. I'm hoping someone can help me as having an expensive dishwasher that doesn't work is very depressing and was a huge waste of money.

The model number is LD77797ST serial #7096KWWZ6U121. I have contacted Costco 6 times (case #9090931) and LG 7 times (6 times via Costco representative - 1 time on my own). Two time technician was sent out who said nothing was wrong with machine but it still does not drain when I use certain settings. I am so unhappy with this purchase and the fact nothing has been resolved and I am stuck with an expensive lemon dishwasher.

Costco pharmacy

My name is margaret ann marley. My father, mark f marley is a member of the new orleans costco location at 3900 dublin st. He fills my prescriptions there. Three of my medications can be filled at once, and the fourth at a different time of the month. The last two times my father attempted to fill prescriptions, the pharmacy had run out. The first time, it was my clonazepam (generic for klonopin) 1 mg tablets.in that case, the pharmacist lied to my father, saying I needed doctor's approval. When my doctor's office called me after much stress and my father accusing me of misusing the medication, they informed me that costco admitted to them they had run out but had my pills the next day. Now the issue are my 10 mg amphetamine/ dextroamphetamine (generic for aderol) tablets which won't be in stock until tomorrow. This alleged "wholesaler" can't wholesale their [censor] from a hole in the ground. All of this should be able to be proven in the pharmacy computer. The latter should have been filled monday. Please compensate my father, mark f marley with a gift card for this gross mismanagement of my medications. Thanks,
Margaret ann marley

Costco cashier supervisor

I had a very humiliating experience at costco in van nay's. I was at cash register buying lunch for my office and I had no idea that my costco membership had expired about 10 days ago. They wanted $180 to renew membership before they allow me to purchase. Since I had no idea and was not prepared to pay since did not have company check with me, I asked the cashier if she can ask for supervisor to do a one time curtsy so I can buy lunch and I would take care of the membership next day or so. The supervisor mrs kapnce came to with a very demeaning attitude and said no way and confiscated my costco card as if I was a criminal and handed her a stolen card! I have been a costco member since 1994 and a business owner with the black card. And this was worst experience I ever had at costco in front of everyone that was watching this take place.

Sounds like you have done this before, also they send the renewal notice 2 months in advance. Let me guess, it never showed up at the address that's on your account

It is your responsibility to keep track of when your membership expires and renew it in time so it doesn't lapse. Of course you have to be a member to purchase from Costco, that Is the whole point.! And really, I think you asked the manager to do a courtesy, not a curtsy. Although with your attitude and sense of entitlement, you may have actually asked her to curtsy.

Costco accused of stealing my own jacket because size label was attached from item I bought at costco royal palm beach, florida

Today February 11th, 2018 was the most humiliating day for me at Costco Royal Palm Beach Store in Florida. At approximately 12N, I visited your store to return 2 pants for better sizes and also to do my weekly shopping. I have been an executive member for years and enjoyed my shopping experiences in the past. As I was exiting the store there were 2 people checking receipts, Joseph (the person to the left) and Noeila (on the right). I was on the left lane where Joseph was and realized that it had a delayed so I switched to the right one. During my walk to the right, I noticed Joseph signalling and saying something to Noeila and I knew it was about me but I couldn't hear what was said but their gestures gave them away. I gave Noeila my receipt and she checked my cart marked a line on it and asked me what about my jacket. I had on a red dress and a red jacket. I said, "what about it." She said there is a size label on it. I told her that the red jacket was mine clothes that I walked in with and she was very rude to me and I felt humiliated of the thought that I took something from the store and was wearing it out. I was I asked why would she accuse me of that and her response was, 'I am just doing my job". No, I did not even get an apology from either of them. Then Joseph jumped in to tell me to leave and I said not until I speak with a manager and someone at the return desk that had helped me before called Ted. Ted turned out to be the same manager that had told me I looked great in red just earlier. I explained what happened but didn't feel he was going to address what happened so I decided to contact the Costco Main office. After I left the store, I stopped for gas and decided that I would never go back to that store which is in my community again. I returned to get their names and they were still rude and disrespectful. I said nothing but looked on their badge to jot their names down and Joseph yelled out his entire name as Michael Joseph or Joseph Michael. His name tag did say Joseph in Produce. Then I went to Noeila and she turned her badge clearly for me to see it and they were both having no fear what could happen to them which tells me that is how they are used to treating people at the store. She was so proud to show her name she faced me showing her badge so I could see her name. Her badge said Membership department. These two people should never be on the front line of the store. They lack respect, are rude and were set out to humiliate me without the decency of an apology after they realize they were wrong. I have no reason to steal and never will. The size glue tag must have fallen off and attached to my jacket when I held up the pants to see how the length was against my body. Furthermore if they knew the store products they would see that those size glued down tags are on slacks. They had no idea of my personal clothes that I walked in vs. Costco's so they shouldn't make this judgement call. Now I am very embarrassed that I was called in wrongfully and everyone on the Sunday lines saw me being accused of stealing and with no apologies except from Ted the manager. Ted was simply just trying to get me out of the store and in my heart I felt he wouldn't say anything to them. He too said they were doing their job so it must be the culture in this store to accuse people. Does Costco train people to be law enforcement officers and accuse even when there is no evidence?. I will be sending a hard copy of this letter along with my receipt for the items I bought, membership number and a photo of me in my red outfit with the glued down size label.. I had such a sad day today after this experience that I don't ever want to go back to a Costco store again. Someone needs to train Joseph and Noeila who are rude and unapologetic even when they are wrong and accusatory. Please keep in their employee file so they get poor reviews for unprofessionalism. They should be fired.

Appreciated reading about your concerns.

One must realize that, in order to keep prices at their lowest, it becomes the responsibility of every associate to protect against theft. Unfortunately, they do not know you personally, anymore than you knew them and their names.

Think of it like boarding a plane. Would you feel good about boarding a plane where the TSA agents were not diligent in checking each an every passenger? Are you insulted when you are pulled out of line to be more thoroughly checked? Hopefully not. By doing so, you know that all the passengers benefit. If you were to suggest that you were not to fly with that airlines again because of how you were more thoroughly screened, you'd lose the benefit of a great, and possibly less expensive airline.

Hopefully, after thinking about your experience from this perspective, you will be more accepting of what took place.

Costco customer service

To whom it may concern, the more I go to the Costco in Clovis, Ca on Ashlan and peach I am encountering an increase in poor customer service. On 2/10/18 my sister and I went to go pick up an order at the deli section. We were about an hour late because we put in the order 2 weeks ago and forgot about the time. I even called to check on the order but there is no direct line to the deli so we couldn't find out.
When we arrived at the deli section I asked for my order then a worker came out and he was outrageous. He began yelling at my sister and I and went off about how we were late and if we ever order again we have to be on time. He also said "now we have no more rotisserie chicken to sell to the customers and my boss is going to yell at me thanks to you guys being late." Feeling super embarrassed my sister and I apologized. Dave left back to the packaging room and The two workers began preparing our rotisserie chicken for us. The two gentlemen apologized on Dave's behalf and said "sorry that guy is known for being mean." Turns out Dave was the supervisor and person in charge at the deli section . After receiving our items we walked past the packaging area and Dave stared down at my sister and I giving us the meanest look anybody can possibly give.
I will have to be honest and say I have never been this embarrassed in my life! He yelled at us as if we were not human and treated us with no respect in front of numerous customers. His peers even noticed his temper and stated "he is known for being mean" my question is do Costco really let supervisors yell at the customers like that? Because Dave surely did it with no problem. The thing is the items we were purchasing was for a funeral in which my father have recently passed. Going to Costco and already grieving then getting yelled at and stared down by the worker only made matters worse for me.
I feel something needs to be done and I do not want another Costco member to go through what I went through. Please address this issue with Dave and the supervisor.

Thank you

Hi Julie.

Not that being overly rude is proper for any department, but being timely is something one should also understand. Could you imagine if this manager would have wrapped up chicken that was over an hour old? I'm sure you would have been angry that your order wasn't fresh, not taking into account that being late created the problem. Respect should be something provided from both directions.

Costco refresh plus eye drops

I have been buying this product (Refresh Plus) eye drops for sometime now, and find it difficult to use.
Obviously many users of this product are elderly, because as we age eyes have a tendency to dry out and require lubrication. Along with this condition is often arthritis or at least less strength in the fingers as required to administer eye drops.
The plastic containing Refresh Plus is difficult to use as the plastic is stiff and not as flexible as other comparable products with very similar ingredients.
Not only is this product a problem to use it is also less efficient because often the container can't be thoroughly emptied and the result is less product and greater expense for the same required dosage.
Other products have easier dispensing, greater dosage and larger dispenser opening.
Compare and see for yourself Costco. This is my last purchase of this product, and you don't have any others to purchase. There are others comparable and easier to use.

Costco store customer service

Hello,
I am Isaac R. Sanabria and I would like to submit a complaint about a the cashier that helped me this last Saturday 5/3/18 at the Wilsonville Oregon store.
On Saturday as I approach the cashier I said "Hello" to him and hardly received a response as I stand in front of him he continued scanning my purchases, and when he handed me the receipt and my card he said "Drive fast take chances" I smiled astounded and said okay.
As I drove home, I thought about as if I were the owner of a respectable store I wouldn't like to have an employee that talks to my customers that way. I did not catch his name and I misplaced the receipt. He is slender, bald, and in his late forties-mid fifties.
I believe in the golden rule, I believe every one deserves to be treated with respect especially if I am paying for a product or a service.
I appreciate your attention to this matter
Sincerely
Isaac R. Sanabria

Costco costco citi anywhere credit card

I've noticed the past few months (and it may have been the case before that) the purchases on the Citi credit card online statements do not add up to the payment amount. In trying to pursue this further and get some past statements, I click on (I've done this a dozen times or more) Services/Statements and Documents/View Account Statements, and always get the following error message, "We're sorry. Something happened and this page didn't open properly. Please try again later". So I've been stymied in trying to analyze monthly purchase total versus payment amount (which would be easy if I could access the statements, since we pay off the full payment amount each month. You need to get on Citi to fix the problem I've described; that is the inability to access previous monthly credit card statements.
Why am I complaining to Costco rather than Citi. Simple, they are completely untrustworthy (believe me, we like shopping at Costco, but you guys made a huge mistake in changing your credit card servicing to Citi). Hilton Honors (of which I'm a member) realized their mistake, and very recently switched from Citi to American Express (the opposite of what you did). My experience with Citi, when they serviced Hilton Honors, was they were dishonest and poor performers!

Costco ge washer and dryer

1/3/18 a delivery company on behalf of Costco was making a delivery to the house. They broke the leg off the washer pedestal and still tried to install it although the washer was not stable. I refused delivery. Called costco online and they stated that they had to do a return/refund and that I needed to reorder online.

1/5/2018 was contacted to receive a new order in the morning. Then I received a second call stating they made a mistake and the delivery would not happen until 1/10/2018.

1/10/2018 waited around all day then the delivery company working on behalf of Costco shows late. They installed and left, but didn't level the washer and then we noted that afterwards the pedestal on the washer was not installed properly leaving a gap between washer and pedestal. Every time the washer went to spin the sound was metal against metal. The washer was level, just the issue with the pedestal causing the loud banging.

Called Costco was told to speak to their concierge line. Got a rep at the concierge team that contacted GE. GE's answer was to resend the tech out to fix the installation of pedestal. Found out that GE was resending the original install team.

A few days go by someone shows up from the original install company to look at the pedestal. Finally after pointing and explaining the tech finally admitted they installed it wrong, and the pedestal was damaged and needed to be reordered. The tech said that GE would reorder and call me.

Three days later no word from Costco, GE, or installation company. Called Costco Concierge. They called GE again, put me on hold. GE said they had no record of reorder of the pedestal. Finally got it reordered.

One week goes by finally the installation company calls to come out and replace the pedestal on the washer. They come out to replace and they had issues getting the washer back out of the laundry room and in doing so damaged the dryer. They some how leverage off the top of the dryer and put a large dent. The installer gets the washer out the door, proceeds to FLIP the washer upside down. The washer is a front loader, they did not put the shipping bolts in the back to stabilize the drum. The drum broke and almost came out the back side of machine. Also right before the installer was going to put the pedestal onto the washer he removed the styrofoam pads on top of the pedestal (hint what leaves the gap and leads to loud metal banging!) when the direction clearly state "DO NOT REMOVE PADS". Not sure how clear that can be! We caught him and pointed it out. Then he starts to get attitude for us correcting him. He puts the pads back on. The installer tried to put the washer back in and leave, after he was clearly angry towards us. I had a phone number of the installing company. Called to speak to the installers manager. The manager asked for the info plus the pics we had taken of the installation issue. He was going to call us back. He never did.

I got a phone call from Costco concierge. I find out that this person is third party for Costco and she can't do anything more.

One week later I am still waiting for the installation company to come pick up the washer and dryer. They called for pick up yesterday and we sat here waiting and they did not show up. Called Costco again today was told that I needed to call GE. NO I purchased this through you and gave your company money. You do the phone calling and rearranging. WHAT a disaster!

Costco kirkland cheddar cheese

My Costco in north Las Vegas nv has been out of mild and medium cheddar cheese for the last month. This has been our families favorite cheese and a Costco staple. When i asked at the service desk why they didn't have it i was told they would not be carrying it anymore. Is this true and can they continue to carry? I will have to get cheese elsewhere thus making it continually less appealing to shop there.

Costco gas prices

It is amazing how one costco has there price 9 cents a gallon higher than the other Costco that is less than 12 miles away.

Is the manager trying to make up some extra margin?

This is the same market and it is only about 6 miles from a Sams Club where again the price is 9 cents lower. Costco corp says each store sets their own price .

So I buy gas at the local station that is closer and cheaper than the high priced Costco in Perrysburg OH

Costco Verbal attack about having a service animal

February 4, 2018 As I entered the Costco on 300 W. 1818 S. in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah the employee at the front entrance, who makes sure that everyone is a member stopped me and wanted confirmation that my dog was an actual service dog. Even though my dog is in training and was wearing a vest that says service dog in training he would not let me enter the facility until I answered his question. When I explained to him that in the state of Utah you cannot ask that question he began to argue with me that he could legally ask the question. Because he would not stop I asked for a manager. While I waited for the manager the employee continued his verbal assault. I told him to stop and that we had nothing more to say to each other. He continued. Once the manager arrived again the employee continued to argue. Instead of myself and the manger being able to have a conversation the employee aggressively would not stop arguing. The manager did nothing to diffuse the situation and tell the employee to stop talking and go back to his job. I ended up having to just leave because I was unable to even speak. My husband returned to get the name of the employee and he refused to give his name and said that I was not harassed. This is the second time that I have been stopped at this Costco. The first incident was resolved this one was not.

I'm sorry you felt harassed; however, I have no problem with you being asked about your dog. Unfortunately because pet owners now can claim their pet is a service or comfort animal without proof, it is hurting the legitimate service animals. My friend who trains service animals is also outraged over dogs being taken everywhere and misuse of claims of being a service animal. I was at a Costco in California the other day and a dog was clearly not a service dog by the actions of the owner. Children were allowed to pet the dog and the owner tied it up in the meat section while he was shopping. I asked my friend about that and she said absolutely the dog should never be petted by strangers. So I think all owners should have some type of proof. Again, it's so easy to go online and buy a vest or paperwork. I really don't know what the answer is except my asthma and allergy to dogs & cats isn't taken into consideration.

Costco Rotten rib of lamb

Unfortunately, I purchased a rib of lamb on 2/3 posted to sell by 2/21. The lamb was completely rotten and smelled up my kitchen. Called the store location I purchased the meat from and spoke with a store manager who was rather calm in nature. Rachel informed me that she would personally examine the meat and ensured a complete refund or an exchange. Drove 24 mins back to the store only to be confronted by 2 different "Merchandise Service" cashier's. I explained the situation and the "1" cashier eating ice cream informed me that her manager examined the meat and found nothing wrong. Followed by I need to walk in the meat department and purchase another one. How rude?! In addition, the store manager never came to personally address the issue like she claimed. Such poor customer service. I happened to really like that location now I'm starting to reconsider.

Costco Return staffs

I have been a normal customers for Costco for over 10 years. I have complaints about the staffs in return desk in 1 Yorktech Dr, Markham, ON L6G 1A6
1. Not enough training - not meeting market standard,
Return staffs have been expressing why you returned this attitudes or ask
questions that would give pressure to customers returning products.
2. Not effecient
When comparing Richmond hill location at 35 John Birchall Rd, Richmond Hill, ON L4S. Richmond hill staff are more responsive to the line up, they always go and scan returns before reaching the return desk. That is much better customer service, however, very likely i see that happen in the yorktech location.

3. Building entrance logictics - very bad.
At Yorkland, empty carts placement is next to exit instead of entrance, also unlike the Richmond Hill.

Costco Poor customer service

I just visited and made a purchase at the Costco Business Center location store #564. My items were on the conveyor belt next to ring up the cashier takes my card provides no greeting or anything. Then she reaches some random man credit card standing off to the side card and walks away to grab a gigantic cart of items then start ringing up items on a reciept manually punching in items. Not once did she(Tita) communicate with me about her having to ring him up or pull him in front of us.

Costco Service at the gas pumps

There was a women standing at the petrol pumps with pink hair obviously helping people out. Or that was her duty, my partner was filling up the car for his elderly grandmother and got out a phone to call her for her pin for her card not realising this was not allowed. He was rudely spoken at by the lady who was working on Thursday the 1st of Feb with pink hair who gave him rude looks and continued to talk and laugh to other customers about his mistake.
I am not the type to ever complain but I felt this was rude and uncalled for.
I simply feel as if this could have been handled much better.
Thankyou for your time.
Regards, Tylah Morgan
