Sams Club - Pressure at Checkout
Endless Parade of' Special Membership' Offers - Complaint
Review by mark181 on 2012-09-12
Rating: 
KINGSTON, NEW YORK -- Okay I get it: Sams Club cashiers are under constant pressure to 'add on' an endless parade of special (and useless) membership upgrades at check out to drive more profits to Sams Club. It's not the cashiers fault. Unfortunately, I shop less at Sams Club because I am tired of being pressured to constantly upgrade my membership with every visit to the store. What Sams Club management fails to realize, the profits they might get from these upgrades --is probably equal or less to what they are losing with scared off shoppers.

Perhaps it's the location you are in but I've never been asked about upgrades or that sort of thing at Sam's. I have a business membership which simply affords me extended shopping hours and the ability to add additional members at no extra charge. I doubt I go a half dozen times a year but there are some products I like.

The current add on at Sams is that you have to decline the Plus upgrade on the screen before they can start ringing up your products. It's annoying

It is annoying and I feel bad for the cashiers that have to ask each and every time someone checks out through their line. Some folks are not as nice as you and I've heard many crude comments. I've actually written a few emails to places that constantly ask me for my email address, ask me to open a credit card, etc. They don't seem to care, though.
