The national survey of 2,932 Canadians, conducted by Maru Public Opinion as part of the Canada's Most Respected Awards Program, found that Costco was the most respected food retailer in Canada for the second consecutive time.

I was a loyal Superstore customer for 15 years (prices were good, quality was good, selection was good) until this year when I was on my account and saw a link that showed me how much I had saved from my PC membership, which promised discounts on PC brand stuff which I bought frequently, but most notably 20% off diapers/baby products. Surely having a a small child and baby on the way I would recoup the $99 annual fee in just a few boxes of diapers! $68 in six years. I had never seen any notion of such a report before, it was the first time I ever checked. I assumed the discount was given in PC points or something, but no, I was just grifted out of $550. It was the last straw and I wish I had bought my Costco membership a decade ago.

PC optimum credit literally stole money from me, I applied for a card and got approved, they told me to set up a debit account to pay off the credit card and had me transfer in $10 to make sure it worked. Then a week went by and I didn't get my card so I logged into my account only to see that they had blocked access to both of my accounts. 15 hours on the phone and in person and I never got a straight answer out of them as to why it happened and I never got my money back. My dad ended up convincing me to let it go cause I was about to take them to fucking small claims court, scammers!!!
