Sam’s Club

My family and I have had a membership to Sam’s Club for over 10 years. And I will continue to have a membership because I just prefer Sam’s over Costco for multiple reasons.
BUT THIS LOCATION IS LACKING! I have gone to this location for specific items 4x and each time, they are completely out, do not have anyone on duty to bring down another crate, or I have to wait 45 minutes for it (for example: Dasani water. Really?). I just feel like this location needs more inventory management.
I do, however, appreciate the associates that have checked on me and sincerely taken the time to try to help. And the associates that have to gather carts in the heat and cold, yet still offer to put my items in the car for me. Thank you for that.

Actual gas price on 5 Jan was 7 cents higher than posted price. Manager refused to appear. I got refund but thousands got ripped off.

«Sam’s is not better than the rest». Yes, it’s Walmart disguised in bulk items. I am taking a cart ride on out of here and am never coming back! Have I ever loved this place? No. Have I ever liked shopping here? Yes, before the other competing warehouse store came to town. Let me start by talking about the gas station — completely unorganized! There is no rhyme or reason with this gas station — you can enter and leave from any which way you please — that results in chaos. The service is less than mediocre. People are not always willing to help you and the quality of the products is sub-​par in my book. It’s so annoying to have a product disappear after I have been buying it for a year or so. Lack of consistency at this store is extremely common. Specific staff members have always been hard to reach, when calling. The one thing I could say I remember vividly that I actually appreciated was that when I had a cart full of larger items, they would not make me take it of the cart and would just scan everything in the cart. Let’s not forget the cooked food at their food stand… no more free water, pizza has gotten skimpy and not a lot of other exciting choices from there. Membership canceled and card has gone in the trash! I have scrubbed my hands clean of Sam’s Club in Baton Rouge.

worked here for several months, great Bunch of people in the management team. I was treated fairly, and the people working in the food court were always polite and helpful.

This store is the absolute worst in my opinion. I’d give it ZERO stars if I could!!!
Most of the employees are rude and have an attitude. You can never find anyone to help you. Just yesterday I went there to pickup a «Click n Pull» order. My items were ready but the kiosk was not working. Waiting nearly 10 minutes for someone to help me. I got aggravated and just went and picked up all items myself and was able to do so in half the time I spent waiting for help.
They usually only have about 4 checkout lanes open with 6 or 7 people in line. Cashiers like to chit chat with one another and text on their phones… this slowing the checkout process!!!

I don’t feel that I’ve ever had a good trip here. I dislike the Walmart corporation in general and this place is no exception. They don’t have a great selection, it seems dark and unclean, and no one seems happy or friendly or like they’ve had any training in customer service at all. There are never enough lanes open for checkout. I know it’s a «warehouse» but we checked out Costco the day after going to Sam’s, and it was ten times better, at least in terms of layout and lighting (I guess you can’t compare a just opened store where everyone is on their best behavior, but other things come into play). If we didn’t have a card to Sam’s through a family members membership, we would never go there, and rarely go at this point, anyway.

Everything I needed was in stock and the staff was friendly as usual. However, the one and only ladies restroom was out of order. Considering how much time I spend shopping in Sam’s, this is a big problem!

Starting to look like Walmart in here… plenty of inventory but none it actually reachable to buy… I miss costco…18 checkout counters and only 5 open… each with 6 ppl deep waiting

I come to this Sam’s Club all the time for lunch. For $ 2.71 you can get 2 slices of pizza and a refilable drink! That’s amazing. The pizza is great and then I cruise around for some sample action.
As far as the store goes, it’s the same as any other Sam’s. It’s clean, the employees are underpaid, so they won’t go out of their way to help you, but they’re not mean.
My best purchase recently was a beef tenderloin roast. It was wrapped up like a pork tenderloin with twine and was about 2 lbs. Coming in at $ 15, it was a great deal. I seasoned it and put it on the rotisserie and that was pure goodness, my friend. I haven’t seen that cut since, but if you see it, scoop it up. Very tender, and you can roast it or cook on a spit. As a matter of fact, if you DO see it… message me and I’ll run over to get one for myself. You can come by and we’ll have an old fashioned Unilocaler Friend Cookout. :)
OH, one more thing. They have a weird policy for credit cards. If I remember correctly, they only accept Visa DEBIT cards. If your Visa is credit, it won’t go through. Check before you fill up a giant cart with 20 lbs of mayo and only have one card.

Writing this just for the optical department.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else in Baton Rouge for glasses or contacts, mostly because of Jordan. The rest of the staff can be pretty lazy and rude, but Jordan always saves the day. I’m subtracting a star just for the other workers.
Also, this is the cheapest place in town, and they always get my prescription right.

WARNING. This store can eat you up and spit you out several hours later so be prepared. I could live in this store.
It would definitely break my bank if I listened to the little voice in my head telling me to go here everyday…
Thank goodness for a little bit of willpower.

Got in, got out, had everything I needed. There’s not much else to say.
