BJ’s Wholesale Club

I have been going here for years since switching from Sam’s club. I love the prices and the selections. I didn’t have a problem with Sam’s club either but BJ’s is more conveniently located for my travels.
The tall bearded guy in the deli gets a special shout out from me. He always cuts, stacks and packages the meats and cheeses neatly. Some of the others just rush through like they don’t care because it’s not for them to deal with. This is much appreciated and doesn’t go unseen by me. Thank you, Mr. Beard!
My one star deduction is for the Receipt Police. Make sure the cashier doesn’t miss scanning anything or you will look and feel like a criminal as you try to make your exit. This really loud alarm goes off and barking dogs come out of this dark hidden room. Helicopters, snipers and swat units surround the building and the store is temporarily shut down. If you just believed all that you should probably be careful what you trust and take literal on the internet. Lol. Totally joking but it does suck when you’re in a hurry and they’re busy so you have to go back to the end of the line and wait to pay for your missed item. Or you can do what I did. I rudely jumped the entire line and said «excuse me I have to pay for this because you forgot to scan it.» Aww well if you upset them, they’ll do better next time. Lol
Other than the receipt police system I really have no issues with this wholesale club. And just to clarify, it’s not the receipt police employees I have an issue with. They’re just doing their job and they’re always very polite. I just think it’s a stupid and annoying setup.

We like BJ’s so much better than Sam’s and CostCo! We got in on a very cheap membership package and haven’t looked back. For a smaller family, the quantities are better here. Much more selection in groceries, as well. Nice deli counter and baked goods. Large selection of vitamins. Has cheap gas and a tire center that will put air in your tires for free!

I’ve been a member for over a year now and I’m pretty happy with BJ’s. I like how they send out coupon books, have in-​store and online coupons as well. It’s a great deal when you buy with the coupons. They also take all manufacturer’s coupons which Sam’s Club and Costco do not. They also accept all credit cards, while Costco only takes debit and the Costco AMEX.
The deli is great and has a nice selection of Wesley Farms and Dietz and Watson meats and cheeses. Both brands seem to offer similar items, but WF is $ 1 less per lb.
The bakery is very good and I like their rolls and cookies.
I wish the meat selection was as good as Costco’s though. Also, their seafood selection is limited compared to Costco.
This place is definitely not nearly as crowded as Costco can be either.
For now, I’m happy with BJ’s and will renew my membership but I may switch to Costco in the coming years… we shall see.
