Thread regarding Sam's Club layoffs

Membership cards need pictures again.

I work the desk and am so tired of people coming in with someone else's card and trying to add a new person on to that membership, usually the individual who handed me the card to begin with. Or it's a girlfriend, or ex who is trying to see who's on the membership list.

With the new desk, it's impossible for me to keep these nosy people away, unless I'm obviously hiding the tablet's screen. Member's privacy is a complete joke now.

And so many people are using someone else's card, it's ridiculous. No one has to pay for a membership, just take a photo of your friend's card and go through self checkout.

What's the point home office?

It's ridiculous. I refused to give a woman plus money the other day because she had no picture I.D. and her only card was on her phone. I looked on the tablet for a photo of her, but no one bothered to take her picture. I ask her for her birthday and she gave me the wrong year. So no. No money for you.

I don't know why the Sam's Club membership cards don't have pictures on them anymore. Ok, that's a lie. It's the cost. The printers, the ink, the cards. These new cards cost nothing to make and less to buy than the picture cards did.

Whatever the reason: why buy a membership when you can use someone else's. lol

I agree! I worked the service desk for ten years and we told Management that this would happen! You are correct that there is no need to buy a membership just use someone's card. The Cashiers were told to let the sale continue if it is obvious that it is not their card. Also when a member loans his card to someone their Plus rewards have been stolen. No way to verify a Member's Identification if no picture on the card and at the self checkout fraud gets worse.
