Bj’s Wholesale Club

Should have a sign that says «Don’t wear a hoodie.»
I came to the BJ’s Wholesale club right after the gym. Maybe it was because I had a hoodie and my knit hat on, but within 5 minutes of being in the store, I keep seeing one of the employees everywhere I go. I didn’t think much of it, but then I started to purposely get away from him and no mater where I went, the guy was fucking FOLLOWING me, waiting for me when I came out of the bathroom and even followed me into the parking lot and took pictures of my car. WHAT THE FUCK? Is this how people are treated when they come into this store? I felt more like a criminal then a customer and I did NOT feel like they wanted my business. I was going to buy a bag of candy but I’ll be a cold day in hell before I give BJs a dime of my money.

The gas station is the only reason I have a membership here. They have good prices on gas, and since I drive a lot, it saves me a good deal of money.
For the actual store… I’m the type of person who will stand in an aisle and calculate the price per ounce/​piece/​serving/​whatever for a given item. That said, I’ve found that most of the things here aren’t exactly bargains. Sometimes you can get a decent deal on an item (I recall getting a bulk pack of guacamole for cheap here, just as an example), but most of the stuff here is overpriced compared to places like Target.

This BJ’s has a members only gas station so if you are lucky enough to be a member then you can save on the average 20 – 30 cents per gallon of gas.

You can’t get too attached to a particular item here, as it might not be there the next time you want it. I’m not a fan of having to show a receipt as I walk out the door either. Your cashier rang up all my items and put it all back in my cart. I would say that our transaction is final at that point. Not here! You have to wait in another line, so someone can glance in your cart and do a double check that you haven’t stolen anything from them. Ridiculous. If it wasn’t for the bulk dog food, Truvia and coffee, I wouldn’t bother with this. On a good note, I love the older woman with black eyeliner giving out the free samples. She is nice… and really believes in the product she is pushing that day. I’ve bought a few things that she had us try. I like her.

Only in America can you find a place that sells a 24 pack of thongs right next to A lifetime supply of toothpaste on the same aisle.
BJ’s is just the type of place you go to when you are desperate. It’s the place that you think «Oh, we mine as well try Wal-​Mart first». And thats saying a lot.
This BJ’s has probably the rudest staff I have ever met. They almost snarl at you if you ask them a simple question. You would think that working at a place like that would make you realize how nice you have to be with people, but I guess not.
The only thing that is worth going to this dirty and ridiculous bulk store is the selection of TV series’ on DVD and books. Those two are very inexpensive. I hope that that –and the free samples that make me want more food– are the only reasons you go to this Hell Hole.
