Food Courts near Olympia, WA

“Lovely selection of wines for tasting. A bit pricey, a good selection of local wines. Not shabby on the international selection. Sign up to receive alerts for events in store. Good end to the day, sipping wine, interacting, and listening to live music.“

“My favorite place to shop. And now, it’s been my favorite place to work for to. I was hired seasonal and my employment just ended but wanted to say this has been the best work experience I’ve ever had. What makes a good store is not only how it treats its customers but also how they treat their team(s) of employees. And Costco has excelled in that respect. The employee culture is overall very welcoming and friendly. And it’s the only retail where I’ve seen lower level employees treated with equal respect to higher level or senior employees. Good, kind-hearted management -Aaron in food court is about the most empathetic individual you could meet, while still maintaining a professional demeanor and always looks out for both the people around him and the organizational needs. Additionally, he ensures his employees have access to available resources as needed. Honestly have never worked for a better person in my life. Robert was my first impression of decent management in the store. He is an intellectual with lots of interesting things to say but is also a great listener. Dan is a good store manager and has good presentation skills. He speaks enthusiastically and gave a great overview of the organizational culture, mission, and values during orientation. When passing any management in the store, you aren’t treated as a lesser. They really are interested in speaking to you. They’re not just pretending. There are good benefits, insurance, free membership, resources and so on as a Costco employee. There are options to move departments and move up through the company. Thank you all for having me while you did. My only issue so far with working at Costco is that when I applied, I explained I was trying to build my resume and references. Yet, when I had an employer call Costco, and they asked to speak to the supervisor I had while employed, she answered the phone, told them they don’t do job references and hung up. When I called administrative at Costco after, they said that’s absolutely not true and they do references all of the time. If admin/management happens to see this and could discuss this issue with food court leaders, that would be appreciated.“
