This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Service is difficult enough to find at Sam's Club; but, this lack of service is tolerated in that they frequently have lower pricing. It does not bother me that they do not supply bags in that I prefer to use my own. I am an enviromentalist and as such I have mesh bags and canvas bags that I use each time I purchase groceries or other items that fit within the bags. It outrages me that Sam's club does not allow customers to bag their purchases. They want consumers to stand outside in the rain, heat, cold or whatever to bag their purchases. I consider this rude and a disservice. If Sam's club wants to turn the bags inside out at the cash register to verify that theft is not occurring then so be it. Rudeness and inconsideration should never be part of a business plan.

Most times I shop at this Sam's Club the cashiers/stocker are unfriendly and ignore you as a customer esepcaill at the register. The interaction among employees is way more important as they use rude comments to one another almost as if the customer is invisible?
Personally, I think this store has failed in he Customer Service Department because no front line manager, etc. has expectations on the CASHIERS to be friendly. It's their job NOT a chore to smile because if we are not buying, they have no job. If you don't like your job, then quit!
I HATE strolling up to the cashier line!

They are like this at almost all of the Sam's Club stores. There is no concern for customer service. They are rude, insulting and provide consistently very slow and poor service.

The club manager is a male shovints and harasses his female employees, I've observed this several times while shopping there. On my last visit he told one of his female employees that she looked nice and as she passed himself along with the other manager grabbed themselves and made sexual postures as she was leaving. Female shoppers and employees beware!

Today more than two hours waiting while the employees mounted four tires and renew one car front lights. They finished, one went on break without moving my car in for four new tires the other can not move the finished car out or get mine in because he was alone; while taking coffe was n front of me?!?

10/1/18 2:30 pm manager unable to get a price on four pack of flavored popcorn cones after we waited about 10 minutes. The cashier said the same issue had came up earlier in day and so thought would be resolved. I love Sam's Club and go all the time but same manager a while back was very rude about an issue. Just no customer service skills at all!

I ordered a printer which the customer service rep confirmed has not been delivered and was lost...Your business wants to still charge my account for a product never received...that's unlawful. I will no longer be shopping with your company and will let others know about this!

I purchased 2 tubs of formula may 31st, 2017 and it was supposed to be delivered June 6th. Well here it is June 7th, 2017 and my order has still not shipped and nobody can tell me when it's going to ship or even cancel my order. Very disappointed with this, Especially when my child needs this!

I have been charged $19.95 2 times on my Sam's credit card (Synchrony Bank) from WC Savers. This had started in June 2018, but just noticed it. Never signed up for this, don't want it, want it stopped and want a refund. Please advise.

I wish gas's buddy would only allow posting prices for everybody. This is a great app but when I travel it is a pain to get to a gas station or company that sells. It's gas at a special price for its members only the price posted should be for everybody I will have to stop using your app again tsk Neil

I have been buying your raw Cod for many years. It was the best! Now you changed companies and it is terrible. Smells fishy when you open the sealed packets. Does not taste good. These are things you lose customers over. Does anybody take a good look at a product and eat it before you make a switch?

Bring the better quality Cod Loins back!

Have looked for over a year for this item in local stores with no luck. Last attempt was 8/5/22. I have seen the item on the internet available in some Texas Sam's Club stores which are too far from me to go to.

Price at Maplewood sams club in Saint Louis is 3:54 per gallon versus other locations in St. Louis like Kirkwood and Manchester which are 3:14 per gallon. This seems like price gouging by the that sams club store.

I filed a complaint some time ago about them stealing $3,000.00 from me for hearing aids that wouldn't work. I've heard nothing from anyone. Did you just laugh it off and say, dumb guy shouldn't have tried to buy hearing aids that work from Sam's!

I bought 12 $25.00 gift cards over 3 different orders back in October for Christmas presents. None of them are working. Sam's does not want to deal with it. Now I'm out $335.76. I am very upset with Sam's Club.

These KCups spew coffee grounds in the coffee cum and over the top of the KCup. This happened to me before with this brand but i thought i would try it again. Definitely a big mistake. I ask for some form of refund.

Thank You,

As a reward for a customer, you sent me a Sure Tech Smart Watch (ref: order confirmation no 802727) without a user manual, make and model number, or a charger from Best Gadgets. I can not activate the watch. I took it to Walmart they could not help me. I was already charged for shipping. Please advise what to do.

I purchased a 75 In Samsung TV, during the purchase the clerk advise me a protection plan will cover the TV, once the manufactory warrant expires, which I later found out was very untrue. Allstate advise me that the protection plans start the day when I purchased the TV. not after the manufactory warrant expires.

I go to a few Sam's Club to get gas. Can you please explain why the fuel price at store #8125 is almost the same price as Quik Trip across the street from there when all the other Sam's Clubs fuel are discounted? Why would you not give the people that lives in North County a discount on fuel?

Getting put on hold literally while talking to customer service rep. It happened at aprox. 12pm on 13-July-2023. I was calling to see when my bread would be delivered for my Sam's Club order #[protected]. When asked what I was calling for, I was put on hold while talking and eventually was hung up on after about 14mins without no help.
