Are door greeters checking for membership cards again? I know they weren't for awhile. I no longer work at Sam's, just curious.
Raise
Anyone heard anything else about when the rest of the associates will get the raise to 15? I don't feel any other job in that store is harder than the next. I think all jobs are hard in one way or the other. I am so sick of hearing well we do this or... — read more
Hiring freeze on managers
Company-wide. No new manager hires until further notice. Current MIT's will remain in MIT until the freeze is over. So which is it - eliminating manager positions, closing more clubs, or both?
Leads
As a Fresh TL, I'm in my element. Now they want me to be like an asst. Club Mgr. If I wanted to do that, I would have asked for it.
Club pick up
I think it’s funny how home office keeps coming up with these dumb ideas for club pick up. WE ARE NOT WALMART. 80 cases of coke will not fit on that black rolling think and will not fit in the blue basket. Now they want us to use the thank you bags... — read more
Membership desk changes??
What are all these supposed changes? From what I have seen and also heard layouts and processes are not the same almost anywhere. These changes are not going to make sense EVERYwhere. Plus, some won't follow parts of it anyway. It is the whole, "that... — read more
My opinion
My opinion on where sams club is going so wrong is the fact they are treating each club as the same. They are wanting all clubs to be just a like and well that is just not smart. Sure in big cities u have a lot of members that are young and know how... — read more
Curious
How long does it take in other clubs for orientation? When we had personnel it only took a couple of hours for the entire thing. At a club in Arizona it takes 5 to 6 hours!
Time to remove Sam
Every store this company operates, whether it's a Sam's or a Walmart, or whatever, has posters decorating some area in back, of Sam Walton in all his former folksy glory, along with quotes, and other pointless drivel from what is obviously now a... — read more
Who here has been threatened a member?
Who has been threatened by a member? Before the change, we were behind a desk and take a could take a couple steps back. Now that we are side by side with members, how do we handle the threats? There is no place to go, no barrier between us ... — read more
What’s next in line to be eliminated after the Photo Centers?
It’s not a secret anymore that Photo Centers are being eliminated from various clubs, and some are being shifted to other locations. I believe that Photo centers will be eliminated at even more locations, cause let’s face it, what they find... — read more
Holiday
Can you imagine what the holiday season is going to be like?? God help us all...well those that choose to stay.
What Changes are coming at end of the month
During are morning meeting are GM informed us huge changes are coming but won't go into what they are anyone have some insight
Inventory four days away and...
it's going to be an absolute catastrophe. My hope is that our situation is echoed and mirrored across the entire company. In my mind, I don't see how it can't be; given the conditions that everyone has to contend with the last five months. This... — read more
Manager
Was posted today hiring for a manager at our store. I thought we were getting rid of managers? Maybe it's the membership manager position I just wonder if u have to be in MIT to even apply for this position? Not like it really matters they already... — read more
Home office come work membership one day
How do they expect us to print a receipt that the member lost after leaving the register. We do this so many times a day it is crazy. Or they didn't get their receipt at the gas pump. This is not gonna work at all. First off at our store the majority... — read more
Photo Center Gone
As of October 25th, we will no longer be printing pictures at our club. October 31st all the assets will be palletized and get ready to be shipped back to used assets. November 1st, everything else in photo will be taken down and membership desk... — read more
Member Experience Manager
Are they getting rid of both of these managers? One of ours moved to fresh and I’ve been hearing the other one will be losing their position, any one know anything about this?
The effort of bringing in new blood....
It seems pretty safe to say that even before the company ignorantly decided to farm out personnel to Workday, there was a considerable challenge in bringing in new hires. To be fair, the process itself was a little too drawn out when it still was... — read more
Wasted Time
With all these new and "Improved" computers and iPads how much of your time and day is wasted??.
Fresh meeting
Our fresh teamleads went to a meeting last week and was told to not work in departments.Just walk around.I guess that why they got a big raise.
Maintenance and Lot Attendants
I have been to several different clubs and am now curious if maintenance and Lot attendants are short-staffed at many clubs.
Tips.
So I get threatened with termination if I accept a tip. Then I use the Walmart grocery delivery service. Before I could get the stuff put away, I get hit up with an email and a text from Walmart asking if I want to tip the driver. I understand they... — read more
Why don't self checkouts take cash?
Just wondering. Walmart self checkouts take cash, why don't Sam's Club?
Really
I saw a post on here talking about a back up mms. Is there really a position like that? Does any other store have a back up MMS? They stated that they don't get the same pay they still get the reg pay they always get but I wasn't aware of a position... — read more
Backroom
Anything happening with backroom besides having claims all moved to one area with receiving? I can see to make it backroom but not sure what might be happening next!!!
Long article, but another "test" that could be Sam's clubs future.
I just saw this article and thought I'd share. TAMPA — The Sam’s Club near the Gandy Bridge has exclusively handled online orders for the last year, but on Thursday customers got their first look at one of chain’s latest retail... — read more
Putting the cart before the horse and then tying it's legs together...
That's how this company's top leadership will continue to run these stores. Three hours after we close with four or five people zoning the entire store, then stocking paper, restaurant supply, water, juice, soda, pet food, detergent, pods, end caps... — read more
New membership desk
One register, one phone and 3-4 iPads. No smart system, no main printer, no shredder. It's tiny. This should be interesting.
Cashiers
All cashiers will be let go on 1/6/20. Going to all self checkout.
It wasn't that long ago but it sometimes seems like forever....
One of the clubs in Illinois I used to work at during my time with Sam's remains probably the best run operation I've been part of all these years. I was the only overnight dock associate on a crew that numbered around 20 people, most of whom were in... — read more
Rumors of a new version of audit?
Anyone else hearing anything on them bringing a version of the audit team back?
Photo to close October 31st.
Photo in many locations will close October 31st to make room for club pickup!
Manager Changes
January 6, 2020 it will be announced that a fresh manager and a front end manager will be eliminated. All leads in the company will be key holders with alarm codes and there will be a refinement to the block schedule that allows them more time... — read more
Backup MSS position
In our club with the backup MSS. Override numbers were taken away. This isn't stopping us from using them as Mss because they all are using other peoples numbers for overrides. Why not pay them for the job they are still doing instead of cashier pay?... — read more
Help! My manager deducted my pay
So I'm a Meat cutter who works in Illinois and this "Manager" of mine just told me that when she hired me, she gave me too many credits and now she's going to cut my pay. She's only doing this after I voiced some concerns I had about the... — read more

It's sad that we have the "luxury to stay late" and finish our job because some of us still care about how our store should look
If we're lucky we can make it out before 1:00 am on the best day. That's with dropping pallets and stocking them all day long in between doing ma calls. pm shift has the busiest aisles while the am crew has aisle that can be ignored for a day or two... — read more
Sam’s club closing Jan 31st 2020 is this true????
How do you know all Sam’s stores are closing? Who are you to know that for sure unless you work for home office. If you do work for home office or some one big in the company you should just tell us so it wouldn’t come as a surprise to all of us. — read more
