Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with Costco. I love Costco for the deals and certain things I can get at the warehouse store. At the same time, Costco is an anxiety-inducing store. Particularly the Timnath location. The hoards of people in one place with carts feels like sheer chaos to me. I am hoping that with the opening of Costco in Longmont, that feeling subsides at the Timnath location.
