I guess that WMT announcement about a minimum wage increase and bonuses for those with over 20 years won’t apply to those workers/locations.

I didn’t see a list of the stores locations that were closed. pretty poor public relations on the part of Wal-mart/SAMS.

Never shopped in a Sam’s Club before. Only Costco - and that’s because my wife wanted a membership there.

Does anyone out there like it? How does it compare to Costco?

I’ve n ver bern in a Sams. Have been hoping to get to one. Now hope to get to see one before it closes. Have friends near Sams Who like it and say it’s competitive with Costco, which they also like and patronize I’m betting Walmart knows how to run a pretty good Sams

Walmart really sucks balls. My sister went to her SC this morning to go to the pharmacy, was escorted there by a guard, and she said employees were “sobbing” inside the store because they had no idea the store was closing today. They couldn’t have sent a freakin’ email or text to workers last night, let alone the 2 weeks notice companies used to have?

Sams are great. Get lots of different stuff there. Not for everyone I guess.

They closed one in Memphis. My employer was supposed to deliver a load of milk and just learned this

Been a member of Sam’s Club for about 5 years. It’s closer to us than Costco.

No complaints about the products, service or prices.

They offer “free samples” usually in the afternoon.

For produce, we shop at Aldis.

If the article is correct, every employee is going to get 60 day’s pay after a WARN act lawsuit.

Sam's has better office supplies, takes American Express, and is far less crowded, so you can get in and out quickly when necessary. Better for small business customers, in those respects.

But otherwise, Costco is better.

I notice that most of these locations are quite...diverse.

Coincidence?

What if you had just renewed your Sam’s membership? How do you get a refund?
