Kath and other execs keep saying they want to raise our revenue passed 100B towards 150B in the next few years. I feel like the freight Push is just a ploy to increase sales - every category is overskued with random items, getting trucks with 6-12 of... — read more
How big is the will to form a union at this point?
To be completely clear I’m not pro or against unionizing and I wouldn’t like for this thread to turn into that sort of debate. However, one thing is for sure, there was never this much union talk at the company. Has the will to form a union really... — read more
Yes, it is the same in all of the Clubs
We have a skeleton crew at all times, no steel space what so ever and yet the trucks just keep on coming. We are at maximum capacity in the backroom and on the floor. Why would anyone run a business like this? Not to mention our pay rates not keeping... — read more

Forced to do your old Job...?
Recently left the Backroom and moved to Produce, lost $2.50 an hour going from level 7 to 2. Backroom associate quits and they put me back there. Is there a Policy against this? Or are my hands tied?
Backroom pay
Can someone explain to me why backroom does all that extra work yet you can push carts for the same pay? This can’t make sense to anyone right?
I hope there are still some good managers here
I intend to leave because of the manager. I stayed because I thought that such a person would not be able to stay in that position for long, but I was wrong. Sam’s seems to have full confidence in the worst managers who wouldn’t last long in other... — read more
