Am I the only one that hates shopping at Costco? I'm 5 seconds away from cancelling it and joining the evil sam Walton empire because they have curbside pick up, scan and go, and store lay outs that rarely change.

Their stores are so damn frustrating and I hate spending whole afternoons shopping there.

Personally, I love Costco and find their product quality and employees to be better than Walmart / Sam's Club. The number of Costco members keeps increasing year over year so clearly they're doing something right [1].

After shopping at both, the quality difference is non-existent. The variety of products at Costco is better but my staples inside bulk meats, veg, and fruits and not housewares or dry goods so its a wash.

Walmart curbside is huge for those that are short on time, but Costco has cheaper prices and better products.

Haven't found a price difference between Costco and Sam's. They're about the same for what I buy meat, fruit, and veg
