Sam’s Club

This is for the tire center only. I had a flat tire and needed a tire repair service. I went there and they repaired the tire. They had really good customer service and I was really happy with the results.

Let me help you pick out a watermelon. You look lost.
Ok, so when it comes to fruit – and especially when it comes to blueberries and watermelon – Sam’s Club, for whatever reason, has the best – not only with respect to price, but also quality. I’ve seen Ralphs’ blueberries, have passed them by at Costco, and I’ve even picked them straight off the bush at blueberry farms, yet Sam’s Club’s harvest continues to surpass.
And that goes for Sam’s Club’s watermelons as well. But still, among the many to choose from, it takes a little skill and know-​how to eyeball the best ones. Sure there are those who have their techniques and their strategies (albeit, they’re sometimes vague and still require a little luck.) But I have a test that’s solid, one that’s worked every time.
* Look for that yellow underbelly. You want that! And the darker the shade of yellow, the better. If it’s too light, pass.
* There are what we call «sun spots» on the melon. They’re like browning striations or scars upon the rind. Those are good, very good. They show that the melon’s optimized its time in the sun and fully ripened. This is the most important tip!
* Last, you want to hear that «thud.» So slap that melon! The sound shouldn’t be hollow. You want to hear that tight thud or thump.
So there you go: our test for the best watermelon. I hope it works for you. Regardless, though, if you’re here at Sam’s Club, at least your on the right track.

Am I here to buy bulk chicken nuggets or a stupid cash back rewards program? They are like used car salesman. I’ve personally been at the customer service desk and heard the employees say, «all we need is such and such more new sign ups and everyone gets an extra $ 200!, so go get them». Then every time I go to pay for my nuggets a lady is walking around with a scanner scanning your membership card and harassing you to sign up. This last time she told the checker «don’t bother he doesn’t spend enough». Disgusting. SAMs I think you make enough on your hot dog and soda deal so calm down

Ordered a birthday cake for my son, easy to use forms, brought in picture of what I wanted. Looked even better than expected. Tasted great, many compliments on the design. Best price for this kind of detail. Thank you! Will definitely order again.

Very clean store, how I wished the employees would look as awesome as the store, I feel like some of the cashiers there have such an attitude, bad reputation for the store. I wasn’t to pleased when I was given my receipt almost thrown into the air lucky I caught it! This store just needs better customer care skills!

Super bad service. I ordered 2 pizzas at 7:17, they tell me okay 30 mins. I come in, it’s 8:13 HAVENT received my pizza yet.

Horrible Service
I took some vinyl tile here to return. I purchased 27 boxes and was returning the remainder in unused packaging. They basically refused the return and told me I had to take it back to the Sams club in fullerton.
Where does the return policy state that it can only be returned to the store of purchase?
Horrible. To add insult to injury, the customer service person then spends 10 minutes trying to convince me to sign up for the exec or upgraded membership. What a joke.

I am a regular shopper at Sam’s. Last time I was there I bought a «square trade» warranty for my phone I was told it covers everything. When I went back with a broken screen on my phone they told me it covers everything but the screen. This warranty cost me $ 99.00 I would never have bought it if the screen was not covered and I asked the sales person twice if the screen was covered and he said yes. (There is nothing on the paper work that says the screen is not covered) I went to the manager of Sam’s to complain — he was very nice — took my number etc. Never heard from them.

Come just for the food. Not the food you have to buy in bulk and cook at home. I mean the snack bar. A Nathan’s hot dog and drink for $ 1.50. Hot dogs huge so is the drink. Pizza combo for $ 2.49. Perfect for lunch. Grab a take ‘n’ bake for home. Yogurt sundaes, ICEES, pretzels, and salads also available. Need a quick cheap lunch? Come to Sam’s Club.

I just got a membership at SAMs club. I shopped there few times. The store looks pretty decent place ofcourse Costco is better than SAMs. But I receipt discount from Amex that’s why I got membership here, Amex offering $ 25 credit back on my credit card after I get membership at SAMs club. So instead of $ 45 membership I paid $ 20 and got $ 25 refund from Amex.
When I registered it, the customer serves representative was very annoying he was offering me too much things. Because they want to sell more things, I told him that this is my 1^st time to get membership here and I don’t wanna purchase more membership benefits for now. Maybe in the future I’ll purchase it if I like your store…
Also when I was shopping at sams club a sales lady came to me and followed me from few ails and finally caught me and try to sell her hair products such as ironing and I told her I don’t interested, please don’t follow me! That was very weird shopping exprience I have ever had. Very annoying, followed me few ails that’s crazy! I have never seen it anywhere.
Compare with Costco customer service it’s pretty bad here. I hope I’ll have better exprience next time!

I been shopping here for years and all of the sudden they change their policy to put the water cases on the counter so they can scan them? Really what if I have back problems and can’t pick them up that high are they going to pay for the doctor bill? I understand they are worried about shoplifting but the way they approach you at the register is ridiculous. They should start putting signs that show their new policy so is not a surprise for all the shoppers we have going there forever. When I asked to speak to a manager the manager was rude and not polite at all I believe her name was Maria

Worst Sam’s Club Ever, horrible customer service, never have any items that they say they have on line, and the worst management ever, this lady named Paula, called me a liar, then when I told her I didn’t feel she was being helpful and wanted the store and district managers names and numbers, she told me NO, and told me to leave the store or she’d call the police, wtf and I actually pay to be a member at this place, well no more telling everyone I know to go to Costco from now on

I came to do my shopping and of course after I went to the food section. There was a long line just to order. The cashier that took my order first of all took for ever and she was giving everyone an attitude. I’m paying for my food not asking for freebies. I understand that that she frustrated for the long line but it is not my fault they have her working alone. So much for customer service!

Hey it ain’t Costco! … am i right?..
No I’m kidding. I love it. It’s great, it has great things to buy, especially when Costco is busy and you just don’t wanna deal with them crowds.
They actually have better clothes. I got some awesome sweat shorts that look like nice shorts but they were all cotton and yeah soft and light.

We went their to get our security camera system. We got the box out and gave it to the cashier, they gave the box to someone else to go get it. We waited for about 30 mins, and they still couldn’t find it. We got to go, so they made a refund to us. I know it is not a big deal for them because it is not their lost. It’s Sam lost, so why do they care. The camera system was 500 dollars. Your lost Sam. And whats a waste of my time.

This review is for the customer service. It’s horrible!!!
Every time I shop at the Stanton Sam’s and get to the checkout I instantly regret coming. Staff needs better training, learn how to approach customers to upsell and learn not to get in the way. Yes the staff may be doing their job but why do you need to stand in front of my cart preventing me checking out.
Also I know staff is trying to be friendly but the older round lady with the long white hair takes FOREVER check receipts. Stop gossiping the line is 10 deep!
I don’t even know why I shop here. I love Costco so much more.

I have to admit I enjoy going to Costco more than Sam’s Club but when I do go to Sam’s club I am impressed with 3 things. It is really random.
1. Gallon of Milk. They carry Swiss brand milk and I LOVE IT. It definitely tastes a whole lot better than the generic Costco one. I feel it is creamier and richer than all other brands. The price is fair and competitive.
2. Sliced Short Ribs. Normally it is priced at $ 5.88/lb but as of 7.12.14 it was priced at $ 5.48. If you are Korean/​Asian or a person who LOVES to marinate their own Korean Short Ribs or Galbi/​Calbi, this is the place to get your ribs! I love all the cuts have a perfect cut and marbling of fat to beef ratio. You will be shocked on how low the cost is.
3. They make beautiful 3 tiered wedding cakes! The best part, it only cost $ 60!!! Mind BLOWN or EXPLODED. I was so impressed how beautiful it turned out and they are pretty good for the simple designs. As for the cake, it is okay. Not loving it but if you are on a budget for a wedding cake or need a simple 3 tiered cake that won’t melt or collapse. Sam’s Club is amazing!

Was truly impressed with prices and selection at Sam’s Club. The employees were also very courteous and informative. Will most definitely return there to shop!

Usually my go to store. Went to spend 800 on a camera just to find out its not the same camera listed on the box. I still have the box sitting in my closet as they refused to give me a refund. Still waiting on corporate to respond to me.
I go shopping alot and this has never happened to me. It’s one of those things you read about but think it’ll never happen to you.
Per my research… Some lady got a box of notepads at Walmart instead of an iPad and some guy got rocks instead of a ps4. What’s happening here!!!

This visit I wish I could give them a –5 stars on their customer service… Or should I say lack of it. I really shouldn’t be surprised considering they are Walmart but with membership.
We go in to return an item we just purchased the night before. We provide the receipt and membership card… mind you Katlyn has not yet politely greeted us. She has this look of hate and boredom all this time. I go ahead and explain we simply need the return this item, nothing wrong with it. The entire time she carries on with n attitude as if us being there is a so bothersome and not even trying to hide it.
As she’s finally about to give us a refund she informs me because it was split pay, she’ll have to give us partial refund on a gift card and the rest on the debit card. I inquire if possible to refund all to debit card, as we were previously forced to accept the gift card from a previous return… she cuts me off and says she’ll ask for approval since last time she did this, she got in trouble. Despite her rude behavior, I told her in a polite voice, I would wait for her to contact a manager. While on the phone with I’m guessing a manager, she kept rolling her eyes.
So she comes back to tell me she’ll have to give me a split refund. While I reluctantly agree, she tries to force cash refund. I again stated I have wanted the money credited back to my debit card. I had to repeat this again until she finally agreed to do so, but all the while acting as if she was doing a huge favor.
So keep in mind when choosing to make any big purchases, and should you have to return something, the kind of Customer service you won’t receive…
Oh also when I made a comment about their return policy she was quick to reply how she just worked there.

There was a man
Who had a dog
And Nathan was his name
N-​A-​T-​H-​A-​N
Well Nathan, the hotdog has a home, and his home is Sams Club. Please, please dont tell me you buy cheap hotdogs and dont know my buddy Nathan. A good hotdog isnt a buck, or two a pack unless of course its Sams Club. Home to Nathans hotdogs, which run about $ 6.99 an 8 pack in your grocery isle. But you can get one Hot Juicy dog that squirts in your mouth and a cold drink for $ 1.50.
Located at Beach Blvd and Lampson in the city of Stanton. Open at 7:00am for some members and 9:00am for everyone else. This location is a little smaller than other locations. BUUUUUT… They do have the three most important things.
1) Food court: Not just a hotdog stand.
This has been updated within the past year so so. Now offering plenty of dine in tables. Serving up the famous $ 1.50 hot dog and drink combo, $ 1.99 pizza slices, churros, Fro Yo, chicken sammies, and a few other treats. Condiment bar has ketchup, mustard, relish and parmasean cheese/​pepper packets. CHEAP Lunch or dinner.
2)Phone mart. Yes this is where Ive bought 95%of my phones. Most phones are around $ 49 with older versions only .99. Thats right less than a cup of coffee, can you buy your out of date phone. But if your like me, the bigger and better phone is way to go. When the Galaxy5 came out I came here and spend $ 149 for it. Now its ¹⁄₃ of the price. Tons of accessories and armor are available to protect your device for cheap.
3) Tires and batteries. They do sell them here, which can save you some money if you plan ahead.
This location lacks the real food items that you can purchase at the bigger locations. Although their freezers are stocked well. Their cold cases tgat should be stocked with pre pared refrigerator foods are slim.
The bakery section is well stocked snd often has a good assortment of premade cookies, pies, cakes, ect. 30 cupcakes cost about $ 15.00. Such a steal.
A little disappointed in the sample section. I dont think they offer free samples daily either and its only certain hours. But, if you sneak 2 samples the nice old ladies dont say anything.
Self check out makes life a little easier too.
I M a fan. Yay!!!
Review #519

I like this Sam’s for several reasons, its small warehouse to navigate through, always stocked up, clean, and excellent customer service. Never had an issue with anything. They have fantastic promos on a weekly basis.
I do wish they had different flavors of MusclePharm products, not a fan of chocolate (super super sad face). Aside from that this store is my go to place when i need a bulk item. It has saved me hundereds of dollars in just a couple of trips because of the grocery stores charge you more for less. I am personally glad i came in here to shop for my weekly groceries.
The parking situation is 10 0000x better than costco, the food court doesnt offer the same amount of food options but that’s ok i am fan of the pizza and the berry berry fro yo combo.
The prepped meals are always a huge plus for me when i don’t want to cook, they offer the rotisserie chicken, enchiladas, salads, stuffed chicken and turkey breasts. The cashiers here are alot happier than normal, i actually have had about 3 full on conversation out of the last 5 trips. Thats cool to me because that tells me the people checking you out aren’t robots who hate the 9 to 5 grind and just leave a bad taste in your mouth.

«If you shop a certain amount at Wal-​Mart, do they give you a Sam’s membership for free?»
Most places that fall completely neutral in my book, I do not feel inclined to review. This review sparked off of a comment from my Hubs as we were leaving… read in between the bunny ears. :)
Our most recent trip was on a Sunday at 2pm. Its the day before Labor Day and we were looking for specials on meat. Their ribs were averagely priced but the cut was rather uneven and they wouldn’t have plated /​presented well. We’re sort of bbq snobs; sorry. No biggie, we’ll be on our way.
In the short span of 10 minutes we were there we spotted a good handful of «the people of Wal-​Mart» and 2 kids wearing nothing but underwear on one and a diaper on another. No shoes, no shirts, no pants… and these weren’t infants. Who brings their 4 – 5 year olds out like that?
I swore to him that it was a lot better on the weekdays when there is little to no foot traffic. Sam’s is closer to us than Costco which is why sometimes I will come here instead. The deli meats are horrendous at Sam’s but I like their vegetable section and they rival Costco in chips, bread and booze. They have more brand names in frozen meats; IE: Tyson. They also carry Black Diamond cheeses which is a Canadian brand that I like which I typically get at Whole Foods. Meh. You get in, you get out.

If you buy tires here, Don’t buy the «road hazard warranty/​service plan» according to the manager I argued with they don’t cover road damages. Even though the Sam’s club website says it does. Pretty much waste of 60 bucks.

Actually don’t buy tires here at all. Other places don’t hassle you and they keep their road hazard promises and replaces the tires without any problems.
The manager here has no idea what he’s talking about. The tire leaked because of a bad patch job that was done here.

This review is for their VIP pre black Friday sale for Business Plus and Advantage level.
I arrived early enough to stand in line and wait to enter the warehouse. It was a chilly night but I didn’t mind since I was there for a specific item.
It appeared to be organized because the Sam’s Club employees would walk up and down the line providing hot dogs, snacks and water for those waiting in line until they ran out. If you arrived early enough, you were given a paper voucher for some of the coveted electronic items such as a tablet or a ginormous flat screen TV. The employees would walk down the line calling out the items to see who was interested. If you were interested then you received a voucher guaranteeing you were going to be able to pick up your item.
Sounds awesome so far, right?
Well, I was there to purchase a $ 1 Samsung Galaxy phone. At this point, the Sam’s Club employees were indecisive about giving out the voucher or having a separate line for those who just wanted a phone. They decided on starting a separate line. By the time the doors opened, it was a clusterfuck because all of the people who were in line waiting for phones were bypassed by others who were standing in line behind us. There was such a lack of communication that I was glad there wasn’t a fight that broke out although you can see people were annoyed and scrambling to find a way to get in front of the line.
At this point it was a long obnoxious line with people just all over each other.
I eventually made it to the phone station only to discover that I have to wait another day or two before I can actually get a phone.
I’m glad I finally got a phone, but to go through all this trouble, it’s just not worth it.
