I went to Costco yesterday to become a member and was treated abominably! I was shocked. First of all the customer service woman eavesdropped on our conversation and made us show two forms of ID because she heard us talking about addresses. When we produced the ID's she was mad because she wanted to turn us down. She proceeded to try to sell us a membership that was double the price, we told her we didn't want that one and she said that we have to listen to her 20 minute speech about it anyway or we couldn't join. We said forget it and she said "okay bye" and we left. I wonder how many other people didn't join because of her. I still want to be a member but don't want to put up with abuse. This is the Costco in Wharton NJ she is an older woman with blonde hair. I wish I had gotten her name. Any way if you want to join Costco in Wharton, wait for another rep - don't be run off by this woman.
