, from the $1.99 pizza slices to the iconic $1.50 hot dog combos. But despite the general fanfare around Costco's proprietary eateries, one food court offering has recently started to face major shopper criticism: the fountain beverages.
The retailer's food court sodas came under scrutiny this week after a Costco shopper declared them"the worst fountain drinks" they'd ever tried in a Reddit"At least in my area, our fountains are the worst of any I have ever used. The flavor ratio tastes like when normal machines are slightly out of syrup. And it takes 90 seconds to fill a cup because within 15% of volume being filled the foam is overflowing. Carbonation and flavor are both F's," the shopper wrote.
This Costco member is far from the only one who feels this way. The post has since received over 230 comments, many from other shoppers who detailed their own negative experiences with Costco's fountain beverages. Like the individual who started the Reddit thread, a number of these shoppers also complained about taste and fizz issues in Costco's sodas.
"I actually don't disagree. I find most locations definitely have issues getting the balance right. Some are crazy syrupy and some too much carbonation," a RedditorIn addition to slamming the beverages themselves, some Costco members also have issues with the retailer's drink variety. The company switched from offering Coca-Cola beverages to Pepsi beverages in its fountain machinesa change that many are still irked about to this day.
