It’s a shame that they don’t have Group 24 auto batteries in stock, considering that’s what the gas Yamahas take.

They had a few when they first opened. Must have underestimated the demand, but they’ll figure it out and adjust.

Been gone for the month of August, but I see Costco has opened and yet the Villages does not appear to have become a Mad Max wasteland due to all the horrendous traffic that was repeatedly predicted by some. Guess we missed that bullet.

All ready to shop at Costco but will have to research about what will be practical for our situation. Some of the stuff made be have an urge to feed a horse some beefaroni. The Rye - Wikipedia


I did look around the store quickly but it will take me a while to get my bearings. Do these stores have maps?

Joined yesterday. Very impressive store. First time as member.

Disappointed in the rotisserie chicken. Overcooked with a kind of strange taste. Packaging in Sams but better than the plastic bag costco uses.

Also surprised did not have different flavors of coffee flavorings.

Will be back and expect to be a regular customer.

No maps or aisle listings. Part of the store strategy is to keep you walking around looking for something. Chances are you will see something and do an impulse buy. They also switch stuff from aisle to aisle on a regular basis.

Is there a public restroom in the Oxford, Florida Costco?


I did look around quite a bit more today but could not find the public toilets.


I bought a few things, too.

No. I did not. I am still getting my bearings inside that store.


It looks like they may be near the exit. That would make sense with respect to how the handle check-outs.

They are alway near the front of the store...

I was just there a few hours ago. They are past the registers on the left side.

Thanks. I had been looking all over the store for the restrooms as well as towards what kind of good things we could use.

My loudest thought was-- "You need a bigger freezer!". Most of these items will not fit anywhere.

The restrooms are almost always past the registers and food pickup counter, down a hall near where the staff offices and locker room, etc., are located.

And they're usually pretty darn clean with quick hot water to the sinks and plenty of soap. Maybe not Buc-ee's clean, but a solid distant second place.

Good to hear. I have had to do some very fancy foot work in Walmarts.
