Sam’s Club

Sams is Sams. Not really much you can say. Shopping, sampling foods, and eating at the café. Great deals and great staff. I am a regular at this location and I’m always pleased with the service and selection.

My family and I have been loyal Sam’s shoppers for as long as I can remember. I even have a collegiate membership so I can get gas while I’m away at college.
That being said, my recent experiences at this Sam’s have been horrible. Every single time there are only three to four lanes open and dozens of people in line. We often see employees just wandering the floor. I complained about this earlier this month and gave the corporate Twitter my contact information. I have not been contacted.
We visited Sam’s club Tuesday of this week to order a birthday cake for Saturday. The woman working at the bakery told us they couldn’t make a cake for Saturday without even asking what size cake or type of cake we wanted. She had a terrible attitude and it was a serious turn off.
I have complained several times about Sam’s Club and every time I have been brushed off. I will seriously reconsider renewing my collegiate membership after this year.

This Sam’s is okay but none in MEM are like the ones in PHX. There are never enough check outs open. Each line was 8 – 9 deep and only 5 check stands were open the day before Mother’s Day. Management could do a little better planning for pre-​holiday staffing.
Some of the floor staff has no idea where anything is. Now I just look for someone on the forklift. The main reason I come here is to get the frozen cod loins, cheaper than Kroeger and not plumped up with water for extra sales weight. These don’t shrink when you cook them.
The one gal who works the check stand in tobacco is always walking to the front to get customers her way; this gal likes to work. She is the one of the few reasons I come here, she wasn’t working today that I could see.

Now I do like Sams club most of the time. There are certain items we only get here and will not buy anywhere else. Also, for some of the things we buy, if it is going to last and not spoil, we just as soon buy in bulk in order to save the money. They always seem to have a lot of good deals and this is one of two places where we end up buying almost all of our blue ray movies.
The one issue I have is that every time we come here, the lines are very long and they do not have enough checkouts open. Also, most of the employees at the checkout are rather slow, nice, but rather slow. I would like to see them have more people on staff and keep more registers open. Also, quite regularly, the people getting the carts are behind. As a matter of fact, today I had to go back out to the parking lot to get a cart and while I was out there I did not see one person gathering carts to take them inside.
Once again, friendly employees, just not the fastest around.

Of all the Sam’s in Memphis, this is clearly the best one. It seems to have a better selection, is certainly the cleanest, and has a convenient location. The gas pumps — which are consistently the cheapest in Memphis — are easy to get to. Prices seem a little cheaper than Costco, and Sam’s hours are far better than Cosco’s.

Gas prices are always good here. Membership is $ 45 a year. If you buy in bulk and travel much, this is a good place to get a membership at.

Sams Club is what it is. What they do, they do well. I don’t like that they are always changing the store around, but I get used to it. Clean restrooms.

We had a membership to Sam’s for a couple of years.
People often wonder if Costco or Sam’s is better.
Personally, I prefer Costco. Sam’s is more generic-​feeling. It feels more crowded, more cluster-​effy, and just generally more stressful.
The place is huge and they offer a wide array of electronics, food, clothing, furniture, and more.
However, I saw less desirable brands than I did at Costco, and I found that some electronics prices were much better as well as the products offered.
Overall, decent store — there’s certainly nothing wrong with it, but Costco is better, in my opinion.
