Where is the best area to be dropped or picked up by Uber ?

I'd say in front of Costco's food court, in between Costco and crate and barrel (that way the car never gets into the parking lot or structure which requires a ticket)

You could get dropped off anywhere regard less because the 1st hour is free so the driver can actually get in and get out without paying anything.

Next to the food court there is spot for small parking.
