(They’ve been very helpful with the self checkout, when customers need it as well).Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, Renee!It started last week here in Boise. Each member will be able to access their own Digital Membership Card.”A: "The digital card is currently not set up for usage on Apple Wallet. And I MOST ESPECIALLY do not want to be lectured by your teeny-bopper employee over the phone about the health risks of real bacon, nor to be told in the most patronizing way possible that if I would JUST sprinkle the nasty faux bacon you do still sell with lemon pepper it would be NUMMY!! It must have been designed by a dumb engineer who has no common sense (plus some dumb management). SC Café has had some really good tasting menus: Chili Con Carne and Pretzels. In my opinion, Sam’s is better because of their travel and auto buying benefitsLet me say up front that my wife and I, far and away, prefer Costco over Sams. I have bought organic carrots 10 pounds for about $5.50 BUT the date of the product is sometime A MONTH OLD… A month old carrots… organic or not, I’ll pass. We just become a member of whichever is available in our area, since we moved several times across the US. I chafe at giving money to a retailer that’s ambivalent or downright uncivil about receiving it.We used to be Costco members but switched to Sam’s Club a few years back. I usually don’t have my kids with me tho. I am trying to make up my mind whether to continue my shopping. Your article seems geared toward younger people without kids who are bachelors or newly married, rather than most of the world with kids. Hope this happens at my store soon! It’s not a good look.I don’t think self checkout would work here, in Eugene, Or.
I love Costco customer service where Sam Club funnels you to useless customer service reps that simply do not care to service. I was debating whether to renew with COSTCO or go to Sam’s Club membership instead. Wal-Mart & Sam’s club are so bad I hear no one works there any more.Fantastic and comprehensive comparison; thank you. Just a note to you who do have prescription insurance. They no longer sell ANY good flour, just a cheap AP flour in a plastic bag.
You got it! I still find that Costco has more of what I need and want to buy than Sam’s club, so I make the trip more often now. I think it tells to shop but we don’t appreciate your business enough to check you out. Makes it seem like they dont trust low income people. In 1993 Costco and Price Club merged into what is today’s Costco.We have shopped at Price Club and later Costco since 1976 – 41 years – and it is our go-to place for most items unless the sizes are too large to avoid spoilage. At Costco… the pick ups are schedueled pre-loads, and un-loads are usually strict Lives! It cost me $15 less and I can buy all the bacon I want there. When I want new glasses, I go to Sam’s Club. Hardly ever saw a bee, hardly ever saw butterflies, people are sick almost all the time there not just because of the air pollutants it’s also because the chemicals they spray on their oranges everything else that they grow. Sign-up to get a daily batch of tips, tricks, and smiles to And in regards to taste, there have been studies done on this as well. I’ve actually left Costco and went straight over to Sam’s because it was jut too crowded.
Me and the people I work with wish home office and the managers cared just a little about the employees instead of just themselves.
Consequently, the quality of the gasoline at Costco is better than that at Sam’s Club.True on the fuel difference, but it is only better quality if you consider Top Tier fuels with added detergents to be superior to other gasoline.The biggest negative to Costco, I have both memberships, is the crowd. There is no self checkout or scan and go option. If I say I will do X if Y doesn’t happen, that is exactly the way things will go. But this year I let mine lapse. They are a minor convenience at best. I was a loyal Costco member for 35 years. I had formed an opinion, but I wasn’t sure if I had done that subconsciously in order to be “a creature of habit”.When you compare Costco gasoline with that of Sam’s Club, you need to realize that Costco sells Top Tier gasoline whereas Sam’s Club does not. and Sam’s club offers more services in their tire department.I disagree with the writer’s conclusion. By pass all the long lines and out the door. SC is conventional. I looked up a few items online and Sam’s was by far cheaper for those items. The lines also are usually 20-30 min long and the cashiers are rude. You cannot put it back in the cart.
Hmmm. I’m an optician so in the middle I’ve also worked a couple of other corporate places.
