In case you're wondering what's causing the 15-30m delays on Parramatta Rd! We made the bad decision to go to Costco today and so did half of the inner west 😬 It's not worth it – stood in line just to check out for over 20 minutes.

    It’s next to the Easter show too.

    Top tip, don’t got to Costco when there’s big events at Olympic park

  2. Today?

    That stretch of road is always fucking terrible. Too many traffic lights in too short an area, complete with two significant retailers (shopping center and Costco) emptying cars out onto it.

    Avoid the Easter show too. Nothing but a money grab.

    Used to be great. Now it’s shit. There was **way** too many people there. Everything’s expensive, and not worth your time. Not being dramatic but walking was hard. Especially in the Woolworths dome area, you’re constantly bumper to bumper and having people ram you out of the way with a pram. There were times where we stopped still and nobody could move.

    The lines are **insane**, please just avoid it. Save your money.

    I avoid that place entirely on weekends – couldn’t imagine the carnage after a public holiday

    Lol, it’s like that every weekend. 

    They actually should never had approved Costco there, the road into it isn’t capable of the traffic

  6. It took me 55 minutes this morning to go 2km down Parramatta Rd and turn into Costco. Lines inside to pay were absolutely crazy. From the registers all the way to the back of the warehouse.

    Looking at this as I’m planning on going to my storage shed that’s along that exact road 💀

  8. I let my membership lapse there – it’s the most stupidly designed entry/exit

    The Newcastle and Canberra ones make much more sense – they should have built it out near the airport

  9. Let’s celebrate Easter with mass consumerism, it’s what Jesus wouldve wanted.

    My mum tried to go this morning, I have no clue why she got the sudden urge to. Hasn’t gone in months.

  11. I’ve only been to Six Costco in my Life.
    However this one is the worst, busiest, dirtiest and most decrepit by the length of Parramatta road.

    I haven’t even got started on the location and parking situation.

    It’s really the worst of humanity.

    Costco was closed for 2 days over the long weekend and everyone apparently just has to shop there today

  13. We were at Rhodes, GPS told us to turn left which would leads to Parramatta road then James Ruse Drive, but I told my husband “better turn right go via Victoria Road instead just to avoid Costco”

    So proud I made that decision lol
