I worked for Walmart distribution. It wasn’t that bad. They paid well and took care of us. It’s not like it was Amazon. As long as you worked a decent amount you were good. If you’re lazy no job is going to be right for you, especially at a large corporation where they track your production.

@NightriderXP1 2 года назад

@David Moore Again, I would quickly run away from Sam's Club if Costco built a store closer to my home. I have no loyalty to Sam's Club or Walmart. I don't like the way they treat their employees or customers. These stores are owned by the wealthiest family in the world who never worked a day in their lives, thanks to the inheritance they got from daddy Sam. They're obscenely wealthy but act like they're one step away from living on the streets. They actually believe that everyone is trying to steal from them. This is a family that has more money than they'll ever know what to do with, worrying about petty things and treating the peasants like crap. I would never have shopped at Walmart or Sam's Club if Meijers and Costco was around. Meijers is a high class version of Walmart.

Many of them beg for 40 hour workweeks, but won't get it because the Waltons keep hours below 30 hours to avoid being forced to provide benefits, such as healthcare insurance. Are you able to contribute to a Walmart 401K??? The Waltons think that all of their employees and customers are stealing from them.

It’s not unusual to see unexpected retailers dominate smaller, more isolated markers in this manner (for example, that’s part of why even in 2021, Kmart has an oversized presence in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam). However, I’m willing to bet that the quality of Costco combined with their business model makes them a popular choice in Iceland, as opposed to being the only option. (Also, nice profile picture!)

Worked at Sam's Club through college and Wal-Mart DEFINITELY had an impact on things. They were hardcore about the 37.5 hour work week (absolutely no OT) and generally didn't do much to make working there long-term an option. We now have a Costco membership (after 20 years they finally opened a location within 3 miles of the Sam's Club) and we love Costco. Costco just feels cleaner and brighter and you can sense that the employees are, for the most part, happier.

We’ve been Costco members for over ten years since it became available in the area we lived in at that time. The Kirkland products are such high quality, and I have a lot of respect for how they treat their employees. WM is notorious for poor treatment of employees. Plus, we go with the higher membership because, we never get out of there for less than $300. I also like all of the organic products and additional services they provide, for example, we got our solar through Costco, and it was a great deal. Costco is always fun, SC, not so much, and their generic brand is not anywhere near the quality of Costco. We have a SC about 5 minutes from us, but we drive 30 min to go to Costco, the quality of the products, the integrity of the company and how they treat their workers, plus the great food, products and deals…we’ll be customers for life.

@Sonicfan138 2 года назад

I'm a Costco member, even though I don't really buy much from the store. They've had some incredible deals though, so for only $60 a year, it's worth it. Plus the fact that they treat their workers like actual human beings makes me feel good that I'm supporting an ethical business.

@AZREDFERN 2 года назад

If they cost the same, and Costco treats their employees slightly better, then I side with Costco. My first job was Walmart. It was a easy yet hectic job that required no skill that anyone could do. I didn’t care about the pay because I knew it was a starter job and anyone could fill my shoes. But they treated us like shit. A packed trailer at the fastest would take 3 hours to unload. But we would sometimes get 3-4 trucks a night, and yelled at for taking too long. If we hit overtime, we were expected to take that time off before the end of the week, but the remaining crew was still expected to unload the same amount of trucks. On 2 truck nights, we would try to do one before and after lunch. But we would still get yelled at and sent to the floor to stock shelves and deal with customers. Turnover was about 3 months until someone just stopped showing up because that was our situation every single night. But again, we could quit at any time, and we usually did.

Surprised you didn't cover Costco's early days. We were one of the "founder" customers at Costco in Kirkland, Washington then Warehouse #2 in Spokane, Washington. What was the most humorous part was every hour there would be a buzzer going off. At the time warehouse clubs were new and people didn't understand. So to drive business they would have a percentage of the employees go outside and rotate cars in the parking lot to make it look like people were shopping there. It was funny to watch everyone go outside and shuffle cars but it worked.

@smallgay6000 2 года назад

As someone who used to work for Sam's Club, it makes my heart happy to see them falling behind CostCo. They are awful employers. They reel you in with a good wage only to make it less impressive by having you do the jobs of multiple people. I was running an area by myself that definitely needed 2 people to run smoothly, management didn't even deny it when I brought it to their attention. You also only have 5 points(sick days) you can use for the WHOLE year. If you're full time you get PTO but you shouldn't have to use your PTO every time you need to go to a doctor or something. It is nearly impossible to only need 5 sick days for an entire year. Compare it to Gap Warehouses where they often give 15 sick days for a year, that is much more reasonable. They also will not bend that policy for anything. Death, sickness, mental health issues? You're shit out of luck if you didn't have that PTO built up or you're part time. Myself and another employee were both fired within 6 months of each other for essentially having mental health needs. They didn't allow me a specific time to take my depression meds, which a consistent schedule is VERY important for. They told me "it's your responsibility to find the time". As I said, I was doing a 2 person job so I very regularly was taking my medicine at different times which had a disastrous impact on my mental health. The point is they don't care about their employees at all. The pay is the only thing they have going for them and even that feels like not enough when you're doing the job of multiple people. You were NOT allowed to clock out even one minute late or you'd get in trouble, yet you'd have to rush and scramble to meet that time because of all the stuff you had to do alone. Then they would be upset if something wasn't done right or was rushed. They are the MOST impossible employers to please, the turnover rate is ridiculous

@cassianandor4103 Год назад

My parents are members of Costco as well as Samsclub. Both stores are slightly different and don't overlap 100%. There are some things that costo has that Sam's doesn't and vice versa, and for the stuff that is sold at both stores, some of it is cheaper at Sam's and some of it is cheaper at Costco, so it pays to be a member of both, assuming you actually go to these stores and buy enough stuff.

@WARnTEA Год назад

I wouldn’t suggest being a member at both but if you can get one of their memberships on sale it would be worth doing. I think I got sams for $15 last 4th of july, and before that I got costco which came with like $80 worth of free stuff from groupon. What I appreciate the most about Sam’s club is that they tend to carry smaller items, where costco will always be big $10 valuepacks. If I recall correctly costco doesn’t carry cream cheese, which is annoying if you pick up a bag of bagels. Also, I like the grapes Sams club was carrying. Overall Sam’s club tends to have cheaper prices but usually not by much. I prefer Costco still for their food court and how good their kirkland branded products are. Also, I honestly don’t care how cheap Sam’s club products are, I probably won’t re-up my membership just because Sam’s club allows those 3rd party phone salesmen to harass customers. If I want cheap prices I’ll just go to the walmart nextdoor.

Costco has less stores than Sam's but makes far more money than Sam's does without including Walmart, and Costco is loved all around the world and recently opened locations in France and Spain. It's also huge in Japan, Taiwan and S.Korea with many of those stores alone bringing in huge numbers, I'm talking into the millions on just one store alone.

@hoobidibahbidibah8119 2 года назад

Having been a member at both, I would give the edge to Costco. The stores seems cleaner and more organized, and the products higher quality. The way they treat their workers is also a plus. However, one thing that really annoys me sometimes, though this could be considered both a positive and a negative, is how fluid their inventory is. It's cool seeing their stock rotate and finding new things, but infuriating when you want to go there to get something specific only to find that they switched it out. Plus the ones I go to seem to flip the store layout every few weeks which gets a little disorienting sometimes. On the other hand, Sam's seems to have more name brand items (either good or bad, depending) and a larger selection, and also keeps a more consistent inventory. Plus, they have giant Icee's for ~$1, which I wish Costco had. A slight pity bonus I'll also give is that they never seem quite as busy as Costco, so parking isn't an absolute nightmare and the checkout lines aren't as long.

I work at Costco and we definitely do this on purpose. The idea is that you buy more stuff because you don't know if it will be there on your next trip. There is a star on the price tag if it's a limited item. Also we move stuff around so you have to look around more to find it and may grab some more things if you hadn't.

It's like me comparing a supermarket 1-Day Only Club Special(loss leader) and Costco's normal price. Your hyperbole sounds like you did ALL your shopping at Whole Foods, or work in the PR Dept of the Mainstream Media, propping-up Joe Biden's failing policies.("Gas prices were $5 when I took office and they've dropped by $1.50!". "The So. Border is Secure!")

@Real_Iron_Smith Год назад

@Ron McMartin I have no idea what my personal experience with low Costco Gas prices in my area has to do with Joe Biden, but, as an example, I bought gas at Costco earlier this November for $3.05 a gallon, and when I drove back in to town, the local Shell station was selling the gas for $3.57 a gallon. I thought that was an insane difference for only being a few miles away, so I decided to look around each time I got Gas at Costco. Got gas the other day for $2.79, and sure enough, the Walmwart was selling it for $2.99 and the Shell for a little over 3 bucks. So again, in my personal experience, My Costco, where I live, is regularly 40-20 cents cheaper than everyone else in the area.

I am a member of Costco since 2000 and sams a re-member since 2017. the reason, Sam's checkout app means no standing in the tormenting Costco checkout lines. i scan and go out the door with no checkout line. It was a game-changer for me.

@emimae_bean 2 года назад

I've shopped at Costco all my life, so I've kinda always viewed Sam's Club as "discount Costco". This was confirmed when I had a Sam's Club membership for a year. I immediately went back to Costco. They have better pizza, better people, and are just better in general. Team Costco.

@@benlavine6259 Costco pizza is just supersized Little Caesar's. When I have Pizza, I make it myself. A 600-series stand mixer makes making the dough a cinch. One batch is four medium sized pizzas. A little tomato sauce, fresh grated cheese and whatever is lying around on top. 9 minutes in a 550 degree oven. Dough will keep for three days in the fridge, but it usually doesn't last that long. Did I mention it's about half the cost?

@KWheel_ 2 года назад

In terms of prices and the actual stores, not much is different. How the employees are treated and treat their customers are very different and I can't see myself ever going back to Sam's as long as there's a Costco in my area.

@hoobidibahbidibah8119 2 года назад

Agreed on the treatment. Costco is always more hectic than the Sam's around me, but the employees at Costco always seem more upbeat, helpful, and plentiful comparably. There's maybe only 2 or 3 times I've had a Costco employee seem rude. Sam's on the other hand, while I wouldn't call the employees rude or unhelpful, there seems to be a lot less of them and most of them usually seem kind of listless like they would really rather be somewhere else.

A member of both, I feel Costco is upscale of Sam's Club, however, Sams is less than 2 miles away from my residence and shop there more often and Costco is 27 miles one way. Most of my shopping at Costco is price checking and is done online.

@TheNewgreatlife 2 года назад

I had to go do a quick search for BJ's when you said "remember them." I thought the retail apocalypse had taken them out too for a second! Sam's Club has always been around in my area, but we actually just got our first Costco just two weeks ago! Idk when I'll be able to visit though. A lot of Costco's are opening in the exact same areas as Sam's Clubs these days, sometimes almost literally across the street! I wonder how this will turn out long-term. I never hear of Sam's being hyped up though, but everyone seems to love Costco! I hear nothing but great things about them and it's really cool that a store has its own food court!

@alanmaier 2 года назад

I have a membership with both Sam's Club and Costco. Each has their own advantage - Costco has better grade products and is oriented toward the shopping experience, Sam's Club is a good quick in / quick out with their scan and go shopping using your smart phone as well as drive-up curb side pickup (again, using your phone to let them know you are there) where they bring out the order to you. I prefer Sam's as you can find out what is in stock at the store from home (and order it on-line for quick pickup) while that is a secret with Costco.

@trainandmore 2 года назад

Used to go to BJ's maybe once a year. Then they did that membership thing and stopped going, wasn't worth it. These stores appeal to people with houses and large spaces, not people in apartments.

@leoparathesweekgeeky7244 2 года назад

I live in an apartment and shop mostly at Costco. I don’t think your statement applies to everyone. It's worth it for the gas which is typically 30 cents cheaper than the regular gas station. This saves me around $5 bucks a month with driving to work everyday. Over 12 months, that's $60, i.e. the cost of membership. Then add on the savings from buying the basics like milk, eggs, rice, etc. And I'm saving money.

@jimf710 2 года назад

I've been a Sam's member for 20 years. When Costco came to our town just over 10 years ago, I joined there too. I can easily say, for me, Costco is better and I do almost all my shopping there. It's something I enjoy to do. Sam's parking lot has smaller spaces and not the best taken care of. The interior of Sam's is not as bright or clean. The employees at Sam's rarely smile and when you leave receipt checkers aren't friendly. To me, Sam's Club is a WalMart with a cover charge. Costco's food court has better food, there are a lot more 'sample ladies', the food products sold are usually healthier, it's cleaner than Sam's. Even the clientele is better. That's my 2 cents.

@jmanj3917 Год назад

I've had a membership for both of these companies. Costco is the clear winner for a few reasons. First, they have more brands that I easily recognize. Second, the overall feel of their respective locations was completely different: At Costco, it's not as obvious that you are shopping in a warehouse. At Sam's Club, you were in a warehouse, you knew that you were in a warehouse, and it was obvious that nothing much had been done to change that feeling. Costco was also a warehouse, but it was made to feel more like a "regular" store, albeit one with really high ceilings. But the biggest distinction between the two, at least that I've seen, is the location of their warehouses. While Sam's was operating in a less than desirable location, a location in which even the parking lot seemed to be lacking in safety and security, Costco was located in a much nicer area. The Costco warehouse and the businesses that surrounded it shared a massive parking lot that was well lighted and also had a reliable presence of security and, more importantly, police patrols. So, the overall experience of driving to the warehouse, parking, shopping, and then getting the loot properly stored and ready for transport; all of these parts of the experience, and the experience overall, fall decisively in favor of Costco. But that's just my experience with the two businesses.

The only thing about Costco I didn't like is that none of the aisles were labeled, I'm sure that was incentive to get you to travel down all of them and a key part of getting you to buy stuff you didn't come there for!

We have been Sam's club members for years, because we were introduced to membership via one of my old employers. I like blueberry muffins, and we buy them at Sam's Club. But just the other day I had a muffin at a friend's house, and my socks got knocked off because this muffin was made with REAL blueberries! It was also a very tasty, dense, not-too-oily cake part. I asked where I could buy these wonderful muffins, and she answered "Costco", under the Kirkland brand. So now I'm gonna try their membership especially after reading some of the comments here. Thanks! :)

In the places I have lived, I only had a costco or a Sam's Club, never both. I grew up with sam's club until walmart decided to close it.

Wholesale stores were an important step in the supply chain for my region of Alaska.

My Grandfather was tireshop manager in a few locations for decades, and my mom later followed him into the business. Costco has been a part of my life ever since I was small. I want to say one thing about it and one thing only. Jim Sinegal is a lovely man, and a CEO like none other. He'd push carts if he was on a store walk and they needed it, he'd jump in and box groceries. He was part of the team. He'd do warehouse walks of several warehouses, and yet always remembered you and took time to meet anyone that wanted to. He personally knew my grandfather through work even though he was nothing but a working stiff. They became friends. That is a man who I can support. My grandather passed away 8 years ago, but spoke fondly of him right up until the end. Jim Sinegal was and always will be a legend.
