I should check out Springfield...

College park has the funniest selection. Halal, kosher, Salvadoran, Asian…I feel like they are cramming so many different things into such a small space that they have to dump some of the other standards at Costco. Wheaton is okay if you avoid the food court part.

The food court is more sane now that it is restricted only to Costco members.

+2. It doesn't have Asian items though, which is a downside.

Wheaton.

I like Wheaton. It’s the United Nations of costcos.

Totally agree. And what makes it worse now is they are re-doing the parking lot, so even fewer spaces available. It’s taking forever and it’s not clear how it’s supposed to be better.

We go to Wheaton (which I should note doesn’t have gas) but I go once or twice a year to the DC one for booze.

That's really the best part about Costco. The roomy parking spaces.

I live in Potomac. I go to pentagon if I want alcohol, but have also driven up to Frederick because it has better parking and less congested.

Pentagon City is Lord of the Flies

Springfield more so than Fairfax. Actually, Woodbridge has a better selection, but it's a bit of a drive.
