What's up with the ridiculously long lines at costco gas stations?..
    #23698609 - 10/01/16 10:33 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Their prices aren't even that much different than normal gas prices, or are they?..

I'm confuse, and I ain't like being confused :confused:

maybe there was a gas shortage and everyone else was out, there was one in GA recently (though I'll admit I hardly noticed it heh).

I know a lot of people shop at Cosco almost exclusively, so after the food is the gas up. One stop shop easy.

Could Cosco also have like that "10 cents off a gallon" deals? I know Fred Meyer has gas stations and has those deals like that when u buy stuff from Freddi, u get the cent discounts.

costco is consistently 20-30cents cheaper per gallon on gasoline, compared to major oil company stations

This and im pretty sure if you have the right membership you get a rebate check at costco if you buy enough stuff annually. I'm not sure that gas is included in that though.

Yeah I think it's pretty much one of those "loss leader" kind of situations, nobody in the business of selling just gas can really afford to undercut them. Presumably if they were making a bunch of money on it they could add more pumps and do more volume, but no.

I have a membership there but I rarely bother going there for gas any more, it's kinda far from my house and the wait is annoying. Sometimes gas stations nearby will be almost as cheap, so that people will go there instead if they don't want to wait.

used to work at a safeway gas station that had 10+ cents off a gallon of gas and there were lines pretty much all day.

people just freak at the prospect of discount gas.

we would often have people who would bitch and complain about not getting their discount (you had to buy $100 of groceries to get the discount) then leave $1+ in change on the pump (usually more than the discount).

it was ridiculous we would get 10k to 20k in cash a day alone not counting atleast double to triple that on credit and debit cards.

I didn't even know cosco had gas stations. There are none around me.


I really want them to open up a place near me. The prices at most of the grocery stores near me are redonkulous compared to outside of the city due to the sales tax. You really kinda have to get creative about where and how you shop if you wanna be frugal.
