Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

They can shove the plus where the sun don’t shine. If I did not work at Sams I damn sure wouldn’t shop there and definitely would not give them a 100 bucks a year to check myself out or wait in a line of the 2 registers they have open and to be harassed by at least 3 different people wanting me switch my cable service or electric service and then after the 20 minute wait in line to checkout to be asked for the millionth time if I would like to get Sams Credit is becoming a bit much.

Why complain. I love the discount produce one time a year for a very short amount of time. Hey we purchase a Sam’s plus we get the savings! We just got spend 500 bucks of the $300 a week that’s earned. I like working on holidays and weekends. And don’t get me started I’m working with top notch management. I love it. I didn’t hate they moved me from photo to the bakery because of going 3rd party in electronics. Plus safety meals back then were spoiling us. It’s good to do a meal once a year. We need to focus on pushing credit. No need for complaining like most people on here. I love it! Give me a S and all that other hoopla

Your discount is your sams club membership your a plus member dude so 100.00 a year plus cash back rewards! That’s a good discount wow greedy much

First Sams is closed on Major Holidays and if customers really cared then explain the 1000’s and 1000’s going shopping in Walmart’s on Thanksgiving day. Customers could care less that we work holidays just like you don’t care when your in a retail establishment on a holiday shopping. For all the hypocrites on here b–ching about having to work on a holiday remember that on the next holiday and you go buy anything from a restraunt or retail establishment.

I think it's pretty obvious they overwhelmingly prefer to shop.

At our club members buy necessities and steal everything they want but can't afford. It's sad but true. Las vegas

Agreed, Sam's Club is like the hillbilly of wholesale warehouse clubs. Costco and it's members live the right side of the tracks, so to speak.

Members don't really care about us not getting holiday pay, and why would they, when they themselves aren't well off.

The news makes money off of us and social media is a place where people go to say their piece. Neither will do us any good.

I agree with @inw. Many of them are likely to think, "You took a job in this business, too bad. You want something better, go out and fortify yourself with an education or training or other skills that will qualify you for more lucrative jobs or positions or even an actual career of some kind." Of course, the types of members - demographically speaking - who think that way are mostly shopping elsewhere these days. Go back ten years and there was a little bit higher echelon of membership, in terms of income, that frequented Sam's Club, while Walmart attracted a greater percentage of lower-income shoppers. The shoppers at Sam's and Walmart are more similar now than they were back then and that isn't an accident or any strange coincidence. This is definitely the case in locations where Sam's Clubs and Costcos are relatively close to one another in proximity. The middle and higher-income business almost always flocks to Costco and Sam's gets the rest. I've been shopping at both since I first got a membership at Costco in 2009. I've seen the gradual shift over the last decade. Sam's has truly become the Walmart of the wholesale warehouse club sector, while Costco has simply just remained, Costco. Working at Sam's Club years ago, one really didn't feel like they were part of Walmart at all. These days, every bit of it feels like it's just a Walmart with far fewer skews, higher ceilings, and tall steel shelving on either side of the building.

It's wishful thinking (uproar). The customers are only upset when they are in the store and learn about it. And to make conversation they feign concern. After they buy their cheap Chinese made goods and go back home to their homes where they already own too much stuff, the Walmart plight is long forgotten.

If the customers really cared, they would stop shopping on Thanksgiving and Black Friday and spend those days with family and friends. Sales would go down and stores would close for those days.
