Sam’s Club

We ordered our wedding cakes from Sam’s. We didn’t want to spend a ton of money on cake that people wou do eat and then it’s gone forever. Normal specialty bakeries charge upwards of $ 600 or so for wedding cakes! We ordered 1 three tier cake and 2 two tier cakes for 160 people and it only cost us $ 200 dollars. THATS A LOT OF CAKE! The cake was yummy and very pretty too! We were pleased!

Love this place. Tough to shop here when you are single. Great prices on electronics and stuff for the house. Patio furniture, pool toys, grills. Tons of deals to look at here

Location to get in and around is complicated making it a difficult get in an out. Something they so desperately need to improve.
In other instances, it’s great customer service thus far, except when we asked a manager or possibly someone who is up higher in the ranking. I asked «Oh Hi! Do you know where the cheese was, and to be more specific velveeta cheese?», ’twas his reply «Are you asking me where it is?» as if we were not directing a question at him. Total rudeness and snobbish if you ask me. I was confused by his response, that I started to walk away and then he said «uhmmmm, I believe it’s on isle 8.» WOW. I could tell he worked there and not just someone who «looked» like they worked there because he was wearing a Sam’s Club ID and I’ve seen him in past visits.
Anyways, that’s the only bump in my visits, and maybe this person needs more lessons on Customer Service (I.e. Manners, Politeness, and more).
Through and through Sam’s offers great products and have noticed on occasion they stock different things weekly. Which is okay in my book, because I love trying out new items/​products.
The self checkouts are neat, but I don’t think they are any faster than going through a regular line, unless you only have one item. Not much to report.

I am a membership warehouse junkie and agree that every Sam’s is similar, so I thought I would offer a comparison between what I like at Sam’s vs. what I like at Costco. Both normally offer the same products… just different brands, and SC appears to deal more as a supplier to small businesses. Yes, I have memberships to both Sam’s and Costco, but SC is closer to my house.

I think it is safe to say if you’ve been to one Sam’s, you’ve been to them all. I usually go in expecting to only buy the things on my shopping liste, then I end up with an entire cart full of groceries to the point where I look like I am creating a stockpile preparing for the end of the world. Oh well, that’s what they’re here for I guess. The worst part of this place has got to be the parking lot. Other locations aren’t as bad, but this one is terrible. There is basically no way to avoid the little street that ends on the feeder road of I-​10 that is constantly congested as it feeds the parking lot of Best Buy, various other stores, Home Depot, and a bunch of fast food joints.

I have been shopping at this Sam’s Club for years for my business. They always have great prices on everything that can’t be beat. The manager there Mac is awesome. If I ever need anything he takes great care of me. They also have a Fax and Pull department that gets everything ready for me on a cart and all I have to do is pay! So easy! I shop there for everything especially the TV’s! Very nice staff and thanks again to Mac.
