Emily LoetterleJuly 21, 2012It's the perfect example of D.C. people, all A-type personalities who are so self centered they don't notice anyone else around them, this city needs a dose of common courtesy.
It's Costco so you know what to expect. They have parking garage now, but this place is always super mobbed. Hotdog make it worth it.
They have recently built and opened and huge parking garage that will alleviate some of the horrendous parking issues that people have complained about in the past.
This location has a chocolatier! Large Capital buildings, Pentagons, along with champagne bottles are staples. Seasonal options (turkey, bunny etc) are available as well
If you go there when you're hungry, you will enjoy the food samples...meatballs, sausages, bread with hummus, etc.
Asha-Cattette StephensAugust 5, 2012Try to come here, or any other costco, on a weekend to get free samples of some of their food and drinks; it's a great way to have a little snack while shopping esp if you have children.
Christopher Kimball-AubreyOctober 29, 2015Parking can be a bear. I recommend getting there before they open. Then you can get in and out quickly.
Always busy, great costco, parking difficult sometimes- Emily LoetterleSeptember 18, 2014I did a fun experiment when I was here, I used my Minnesota nice and said excuse me or sorry when I bumped into someone or was in their way, the look of shock on all their faces was priceless
Bulk. Don't fall in love with anything, though...it may not be there when you return. 😑
Katie WalkerFebruary 3, 2014if you lose your parking ticket go to the manager and will give you a sticker for three dollars so you don't have to pay the $20 lost ticket fee
Get here early on the weekend or it'll be hard to find parking.
Acting like a heartless POS is the best way to blend in amongst your fellow customers/food court staff.
Try the gelatin. Three yummy scoops for $1.63 possibly the best deal ever!
Don't sleep on the variety pack. These brews rival the big names and are just awesome.
Andrew LeeApril 15, 2011If you're a young intern, take a suitcase, buy stuff, ride the metro back. They'll think you're going to the airport.
Let's not go in and say we did, that way you won't get ran over, and feel angry when you finish shopping. Ouch!
You do NOT need to be a Costco member to use the pharmacy nor do you need to wait in the main shopping line to check out, but the hours are more restrictive than the store as a whole.
This place is always very busy on weekends, Fern Street gets to be a jammed mess, and you often have to circle for a parking space. Avoid weekends.
This Costco is so crowded! If it wasn't for the tire center, I would never put up with the throngs of rude, cheap shoppers cutting me off every 2 steps 2 eat enough samples 2 take the place of a meal!- They now have self checkout stations at the far right near the bathrooms
If you are feeling drowsy, go chill out in he oversized veggie refrigerator. It will wake you up.
🤖🐵 Andrew SteinOctober 2, 2011Got my cart (and 3 favorite canvas shopping bags) stolen here. Don't leave your cart unattended on a Sunday afternoon.
DIRECTV have the Best Deals! $200 dollar costco cash card!!! Just for signing up!
Never cross the street during main hours. It's like a real live game of Frogger and you're the Frog
- Cheap guilty pleasure: pistachio gelato waffle cone $1.50
- The gelatin is a bargan 1.50. At the snack bar. 3 scoops and a waffle cone. Made here:-) yum:-)
Rima ReyesNovember 20, 2012Keep your parking ticket with you. Validate it as soon as you leave Costco with your receipt.
Samples are great, staff friendly, but the absolute worst parking even with the new garage because it's just a horrible, terribly designed traffic flow.- Walk around the food area during the afternoon for some tasty free samples.
Jamey FalkenburyOctober 19, 2010Make sure you get something to eat at the Costco food court before you shop... if you don't you will end up spending more money on food than you would want to because you'll be hungry
Jewel SmithJanuary 19, 201220lb bag of Russert Potatoes for $7.99. Price beats Safeway, Harris Teeter & BJ's.
Austin ZentzAugust 14, 2010The best way to get a parking spot is to follow someone on their way out. If only it didn't feel so creepy!
No shoppers understand that shopping cart "lanes" (like the 2 main ones on each side of the big center aisle) should be 2 ways.- I won't be back. Worst tire center ever. After 3 pm appt they called at 5 to say my car was done. Gave me the keys to another Honda, then realized never worked on my car @ all. 6:30. Still waiting.
