That parking lot looks fine to me because it's huge. In Hawaii, our problem is there just aren't enough spaces. I'd gladly park all the way at Bob's Furniture and just walk. At the Waipio Costco on Oahu, cars are regularly parked in the aisles not designated parking spaces.

There’s a Costco on my direct walking path home from work so I’ll stop in to get a few things when needed. Once a month or so I’ll go with my siblings to get large items that would be a pain in the rear end to carry home the mile or so, its parking lot is pretty bad though.

A Trader Joe’s opened up a few blocks from my place so that’s been very convenient (for expanding my rear end through snacks).

My local Costco has easy access and plenty of parking (possibly not near holidays but I don’t go around those).

I go in through the back and park by the tire center, never any problems and a very short walk.

Every grocery item you add to the cart costs you $15. I know it says mayo is $6 but you're leaving with ten items for $150.

My local Costco is on airport land near all the logistics warehouses, this means that they are forced to charge for parking (2 hours free with your receipt barcode) to stop people using it as long term airport parking

Not only that but they have the stupid coin operated trolley locks to make people return the carts.


The next closest Costco to me has neither of these things but is nearly an hour drive away

Do you just buy a single item per trip? Got a push cart? I am curious as to the logistics of hauling Costco purchases on foot.

Also LOL at the people in AK acting surprised at ravens doing their thing. Are they all new to the coast?
Dummies walking ten paces away from a stack of food while an unkindness lurks, then being amazed at the brazenness of one of the most intelligent and brash birds in existence.
They should bring some suet for the ravens next time. Love a corvid.

The Tukwilla Costco parking lot packs so many hosed up things into one place.
Main entrance with unlined merging pathways. Side entrance that's always backed up for the gas station. Gravel back entryway with HUGE potholes. Spots on steep grades... Add to that general Seattle driver shittyness and costco always being busy and it's particularly miserable.

Just to emphasize how poo poo the Tukwila location is with my own personal notes (forgive the ugliness, phone posting):



If you're trying to get gas, you better have entered from Andover Park E because the median is coned off if you've come from Sperry Drive. So many cars pull hosed up U-turns and sometimes block the through lane of people trying to go directly to the warehouse. Also the gas station is so poorly placed and disgustingly busy that it often backs up so bad cars from Andover can't even turn in from either direction.

The one way exit at the top, I've almost gotten into multiple head-ons trying to leave cause some impatient gently caress decides to enter the parking lot and completely ignoring the DO NOT ENTER signs from the street.

Tukwila sucks but that's the closest Costco to me and where my eye doctor is. Multiple times though I've gone out of my way to drive the extra 15 miles to the Federal Way location just to avoid that bullshit (and give me an excuse to go to the Business Center in Fife).

I paint things
I went to the seattle sodo costco this morning for the first time and - as hosed up parking lots go holy gently caress that thing is hosed up. They split the parking lot in a weird way to protect people from like hitting cars exiting the tire center.

I used to rank the lynnwood business center as the worst but sodo takes the cake. Tukwila is weird but at least the mobility getting in and out and around isnt hampered too bad.

I got the blueberry lemon loaf and im very excited to have some later.

Wasn't expecting to see the area I grew up in represented here :stare:

And while Costco parking lots are hexed, it's the aisles of some that are utterly cursed. The North Scottsdale Costco is full of boomers and rich assholes. And some of its aisles are too small for two carts side-by-side. It's utter chaos as people try to jam their carts around each other or just do whatever they want with no regard for anyone else there.

I walk to my local BJ’s (we have no Costco) and use what we call a granny cart. It’s 11/10 normal to shop with a your own cart in NYC, the weird part is just having a local BJ’s. I bring a couple insulated bags and it works great. I tend to go more often when I’m in the habit, like every couple weeks, but I feel like I would have to regardless because 90% of what I get is fresh food that wouldn’t last longer anyway.

The only caveat is super bulky stuff like TP or paper towels. I have to balance those on top and obviously not get both on the same trip.
