Sam’s Club

This Sam’s location put in nice new refrigerated food units a few months ago. This allows them to put many more products on display than was possible in the past. For some reason they have been unable to put prices on 2 items: Pot Roast and Irish Stew. It’s a mystery.

Their check out machines are the worst. It keeps on giving me card problem errors. This have been a problem for a long time, and they still have not fixed it. I’m very disappointed.

Regarding: Optical Department
I went to this eye dr. for a few years, he did a great job. The prices and frame selection are awesome. No complaints there at all.
But I had the following experience that was very frustrating:
I made an appointment one month in advance on a day when I had several other doctor appointments so I was taking the whole day off work. Well, I showed up for my appointment and the lady says the doctor isn’t in on Thursdays. But I was given an appointment on a Thursday? So to be nice I said «well, I guess I could have written it down wrong,» but let me assure you, I had not. Just very unlikely. Her response was «yeah, I guess you did.» Then she checked the system to look for my appointment and conveniently, all the appointments had been wiped out of the system. Then she informed me that my appointment was probably for the day before, Wednesday, and that there had been several no-​shows that day. Hmm… lets do the math: Several no-​shows, me here today for my Thursday appointment, and the system happens to be wiped out. To me, it’s obvious that someone made a mistake, scheduled a few people for Thursday instead of Wednesday, and tried to ditch the evidence. That’s one thing, but to keep blaming me, not offer to reschedule, nor apologize, was just really frustrating. This appointment was my ONLY morning appointment. I could have worked that morning and easily made it to my last two appointments in the afternoon. I do not take my work vacation days lightly.
Is it the end of the world? No. But I thought it was pretty poor form. That mixed with their inconvenient hours and location (for me), I’m going to try another eye dr. for a while and see how it goes.
PLUS — the guy at the Big Bend location cracked my lenses during adjustments: TWICE!

Anyone who’s anyone and lives in South County is at Sam’s Club on Saturdays!
Spread the word!
I have been a member of Sam’s Club for many years now. I have entertained the idea of switching to the other competition but Sam’s Club seems to always win me over. I like knowing that I can find my staple items usually in the same place each time. They usually have their very friendly staff out on the weekends, ready to share with you a sample to get the ideas swirling for a new recipe.
They recently added self checkouts which is awesome on the weekends when the place is packed.
Be sure to check out the café. They have ample seating and you can get a something yummy while you wait the crowd out or just relax before you head on to your next adventure.
Sam’s Club has a forever member in me. Check them out!

The employees are very friendly and the staff was really helpful. If there is anything you need you can always find it @ Sams.

They have self checkouts! That’s the one thing I love about this place! The pharmacy here is the cheapest in the area! The staff are friendly as previous reviewers said. Lunch here is a steal. For just about $ 2, you can get a hot dog & a large drink! The gas prices are somewhat cheaper than anywhere in the area. Note, the gas station hours are different than the store itself.

You’d think a Sam’s Club is a Sam’s Club, but that’s not been my experience. This is the one in South County right off I-​55, so it’s the closest to my house. But it’s a little dingey, and the selection doesn’t seem to be as broad as the one in Brentwood or in O’Fallon, IL. The people working here are really great, friendly and fast checkers; it’s just that sometimes I go expecting to find something and they don’t have it. That hasn’t happened to me at the Brentwood Sam’s Club.
That said, it’s a fantastic bargain on many things. My favorite thing to stock up on at Sam’s are the on-​the-​vine tomatoes — they are the best grocery store tomatoes I’ve ever found — and the big tubs of Sabra brand hummus. I go through the small ones way too fast so it’s great to get a couple of large tubs when I come. I also use their house brand laundry detergent, stock up on trash bags, and they sell huge packages of nuts — almonds, walnuts, and pecans — for very cheap compared to buying the small packages.
