Scan & Go scam!
April 29, 2023

I do NOT understand how if you use the scan & go app you get a better price than SELF CHECK OUT! I spend just as much time going thru self check out as if I used scan and go!

Love Sam's

Things are cheaper and changing at Sam's. Costco is always super busy and lines are long. Employees at Costco are usually rude as well

I hate the card!
August 17, 2018

I don't like the card. You should't have to have a special card to shop here! This is why I go to Walmart.

Went online to check out products at Sam's club. Created an account to save what I liked online, If it was possible, since most sites allow you to do that. Wasn't a member but my family member was and I was going to the store with them. After done looking went on with my day until o got an email saying I got a temporary 24 hrs card. I was like that's really nice I'll go check things out without my family member so I didn't have to wait for them to go shop. Get there and I only bought 1 thing (a new tv) and I saw the price online and above the product on the display, so I didn't even thing anything of the price. I get home and check the receipt and was charged a 10% fee of $49.60 dollars. I called and they said cause it was a temporary card I got got charged 10%. I checked the email nothing stated anything about the 10% upcharge and the girl at the register didn't say anything either. Now they are saying I can return the tv but not the the 10% charge refunded. Livid due to the employee or the email not stating this charge. And they won't refund. I could of waited until my family member was off work. I only went cause I was like wow that's cool I got a temporary card. That was nice to check it out!
Talked to manager and she was like you should of know it s stated and I looked at the email nothing is stated and the employee never said anything of any upcharge at the register. The manager had me call the online store, "cause they can help me this this issue" then the online store told me to call the actual store". They have me going back and forth with no answers like it's a game. Poor customer service!
I checked the email and the site multiple times and nothing is stated about this 10% upcharge. This place is a sneaky scam that has nothing stated for they're reasoning to upcharge me legally.

I recently went to Sam's Club like I have for many years at the Roseville, California location to purchase some items. I picked up my items and then went threw the checkout line and handed my receipt to the employee at the exit area. That is when he noticed that the checker had not rung up all the items in my cart. So he referred me to what was suppose to be customer service (which Sam's club has none of!) I told the lady working there that there was an error and that I needed the items refunded and the all the items to be rung up again. So, she tells me that she can only ring up the two items that were not on my receipt. I told her to refund the total order and she refused at first but did it. Then she walked away after the refund and refused to ring my items back up until I told her it needed to be done. She finally completed the transaction and I asked for the manager and she called her up.
I explained the situation to the manager and she nodded her head and then said, 'So what's the problem, you have your items correct"? I told her that her employees have not manners nor do they care about the customers. She stood there looking at me with a blank look. So I told her that I was going to write this up online and let everyone know how Sam's club treats their customers. To which she replied, "Super"!
This is the kind of service that you will receive at the Sam's Club in Roseville, California and I recommend that you do not do business with them if you can avoid it. They do not have good employees working there and the they could care less about their customers or how they treat them. They want your money and for you to get the hell out of their store. Sam's club has lost a customer for life!

Don't go here for gas

They will hold 100 dollars from your credit card for 12 dollar worth of gas. I'll stick with Costco.

10 year Plus member here- individual membership not a business member. My 3 stars is my average score based on 5 stars for the products I buy and 1 star (zero is probably more accurate) for customer service.
CONS: Customer service is non existant-period- and this is a fact but that's ok with me. I generally know exactly where everything is so I run in and out with usually less than 10 items in about 20 minutes. I've tried buying tires here before and it was futile. Trust me, even if you can save a few buck on tires at Sam's go elsewhere. There is no direct phone number to the tire department, enough said. This "club" is not for an individual. If you don't have at least a family of 3 or 4 don't bother buying a membership. Because everything's sold in bulk it's simply not practical. Lastly, please do not buy a membership for grandma and/or grandpa. The chaotic atmosphere and parking lot WILL be overwhelming.
PROS: I have roughly 20 staple items I buy throughout the year and the prices are far and away better than the competition. Gas is almost always. 10-. 20 cheaper than nearby local gas stations. Early shopping hours (7AM as opposed to 10AM) for Plus members. This is huge for me because the area where this particular Sam's is located is generally extremely busy, a "zoo" unless you get here before 10AM. Free shipping for Plus members. I also use the optical department and the prices with my insurance are fantastic, never had a problem with this department. Because Sam's offers cash back bonuses I haven't paid full membership cost in years. Typically I earn $30-50/yr which I apply directly to my yearly membership fee. Sam's is an extremely clean and organized "warehouse" store.
BOTTOM LINE: I consider going to Sam's Club a "job", something I have to do. I recommend a little meditation and some deep breathes before entering. This is not pleasure shopping. If you're anti-social, have tunnel vision, aren't claustrophobic, hate change, enjoy power walking, don't mind buying in bulk and can handle basic math skills to price shop and compare (because everything here isn't a deal) then a Sam's Club Plus membership may be for you.

I have been a member for 6years and lately just started noticing the very unfriendly atmosphere in my local club #******* LBJ fwy Dallas Texas. I guess they promoted a very rude associate to club manager position. Customer service here is horrible, they talk like they are doing you a favour. August 30th around 9.45am, while I was scanning at self check out, a male associate cuts infront of me and the computer screen, standing less than 2ft away from me and said; "stop scanning and leave the store". I was taken aback and asked why? He repeated his rude remark and added "because you are not a plus member". I promptly told him "that was very rude, he could have started with either a hi or good morning and should go get his supervisor". I informed them about his rude behavior when he brought the supervisor & club manager. The manager did not address the rude behavior but went on to tell me that "they have a new policy of not allowing non plus members to shop early and if I don't like it, i should get a refund of my membership fees and purchases". I called their customer care to complain, I was given a reference # & nothing was done. I guess if I had recorded this experience on my phone for others to see on SM it will get their attention. Spare yourself the horrible experience and shop elsewhere not at this store. To be fair to the organization, some other clubs are not like this one. I have received better services in the Plano club. The services offered at Sam's club is not worth $50 & $100 annual membership fee they charge. A 1star rating is being generous
