A Viewer Writes: Sams Club check out aisles deathtraps

Anyone been to Sam's lately? They reconfigured the store and instead of the nice wide check out - waiting line - aisle, they have now got you trapped into these narrow aisles where you are surrounded by rows of junk food. Who thought this was a smart idea? They are not 2 carts wide like the normal aisles. Such a ridiculous and unsafe configuration. The hazardous wall of pallets out front was bad enough, protruding into the traffic lane, forcing you to dodge oncoming traffic as you attempt to get into the store and trapping you between a wall of pallets and the building but now this? Who thinks up these hazardous plans and implements them? Even Walmart has cleaned up their entryways and made them safer and shorter, but not Sams, they are sticking with, what seems to be "putting our customers at risk" strategy.

Why is shopping at SAM'S CLUB such a conversation ?
Shop elsewhere. End of Conversation.

My Sam's Club in NRH, TX is great! Lanes open w/ marked lines 6ft apart. Carts being sprayed down, Perell wipes at the door. The Associates pleasant during this whole pandemic.

I have never had a problem at Sam's, workers were very nice and wore their masks.
Things were rearranged from when I was there before. Workers were nice and helped me when I asked.

I totally agree, I used to have both memberships but hardy used the one from Sams. Costco have more variety of products, employees are friendly, better quality and I always renew my Costco membership cause I also like to fill my gas tank at Costco.

How can you use scan and go if you buy booze?

Mostly some of you just come to complain not wanting to wear a mask go take your germs at your house not at Sam's to the employees

I'm really sorry about the bad experiences. I am grateful All the cashiers & employee's did not just drop out & quit. I've heard & noticed very nasty customers even through
Co-Vid. These R our essential Workers! It could be worse. Most of us who stayed home were able to work from home & get paid. Others attempted to get unemployment but did not. Some did and others were able to sustain themselves. Before the mandate came to wear mask or not to shop I saw Many people without mask or respect or regards for the people who were stocking the shelves or checking them out. Some people could not afford to quit yet they had underlying health conditions that would kill them if they were exposed by someone who was asymptomatic but who did not care to mask to protect others. This whole situation is tedious however if we are healthy enough, have transportation, can buy gas cheap and afford to buy food, we need to be grateful we're alive and well enough to even go out and shop and actually have money to choose what we buy,it's time to be grateful SAM's remained open, accommodated the elderly and members and attempted to keep us All safe & Covid free. Often we are Blessed and don't even know it. People are dying daily Not just CoVid and their families wish they could stand in any line just to get them their desires. Slow down, thank God for your life and your well being cause tonight or tomorrow may be too late.Thank you SAM's & your loyal workers & lines to attempt to keep us safe & your employee's safe. May you be 4ever Blessed!

Covid 19 can NOT be transmitted in Sams club or Walmart or riots of any kind. Only on the beach and small business. This is a fact. Doctors can’t explain it.

LOL
Shopping is an issue ?
Just line up like cattle for all that shit from China. You people are all about local business mom and pop places struggling and you stand in line in your sweat pants at Wal-Mart and Sams. Support your local farmers and butchers learn how to cook and take advantage of our seasonal resources. Why stand in line for 25 lbs of hot pockets soda and cereal. It's no wonder people are so fat around here.

This is so true. People are not showing up to work on a daily. Some people who show don't want to work. There are a few trying to do it all. Someone screamed and cussed my daughter out yesterday because he held on a phone line for 6 mins. She has been working 15 hour days with no breaks. She is working the front alone. She answers the phones, takes orders, packages orders, stocks the shelves takes money, list can go on. Everyone calls out or quits within a week or two. She actually busted out crying when he was done screaming. (She never cried) She told him she was sorry and they are so short staffed and she is trying her best, he cussed her again and asked her how would she like being on hold for 6 mins. The thing is, she would understand because she is living it. It was six minutes. Seriously?! I thought covid would humble people. It has not. It has been prue hell at all my kids jobs for the disrespect and treatment of nasty people. For the ones who has been gracious. Thank you.

I don't usually get flat tires while at sams. I didn't know they have a traveling repair truck?

This just goes to show some people have too much time on their hands and will complain about anything.
