Returns have always been hassle-free. How many places do you know that would take a return on an opened and empty bottle of champagne? All I did was take the empty bottle and the cork in (the wine was 'corked') and had them smell it.
"I wouldn't have drunk it either, sir" was all the guy said as he reached into the drawer and handed me my cash back. I had the same experience with a DVD player that was 3 years old.
I just showed them the receipt and they handed me the cash.
Coupled with the fact that it's a block away, you just can't beat it. Oh and their gas is a nickel a gallon cheaper than anywhere in the area.

Our family loves Costco. It’s like everything else though. Economically wise consumers know how to purchase effectively. ;-)
She was done before I could call her boss to stop her.
That's when he and I discovered she couldn't speak English at all.
Then there was the puke that decided he just had to pick up my brand new chocolate birthday cake for the daughter-in-law and put it in a different basket ~ took it out of my hands. He smeared it all over the inside of the plastic container.
All the while I was telling him "Leave me and my cake alone" He wanted to fight. Fortunately I had my largest son immediately behind me so he stepped forward. The kid started whimpering and called for someone to help him. I told his boss when he got there to boot this t**d out. It went downhill from that point on.
Usually those guys are pretty compliant about not messing up the pastries. BTW, never saw that kid in the store again!
Our Sam's is great because it's never at all busy; in and out without getting that "dirty" feel we get at their parent, WalMart.
Bonus - snack bar's huge Nathan's hot dog/drink combo for $1.50 is about the cheapest lunch around.
I’m a Costco fan.
They beat every other store, Sears, Target, etc. on customer service in a national survey.
Buy a TV there, they extend the warranty another year.
Their meat and vegetables are superior to Kroger, Harris Teeter, etc. And cheaper, significantly cheaper.
What’s not to like?
they only have the items THEY want to sell...if there is an item you fall in love with, don't count on them ever having it again...
there is no savings if you buy a large supply of something because its cheaper by the ton only to have 3/4 of it spoil....(been there, done that)
and they do push the candy and the sweets now don't they...
I will say that once I brougth a stereo system back to them...it had been opened....they took it back readily but I had the WRONG receipt!!!...they didn't care....they gave me my money back....
