I can attest that's the case here in Indiana. I usually buy alcohol from Sam's Club, since in Indiana its illegal to put any preconditions on an alcohol license, other than what is required by state law (21, not being drunk, etc). There's even signs over the Sams alcohol aisles stating state law. The door guards aren't told of this, and will make you think that you must be a member of Sams to even enter the store. My opinion: if they want to maintain exclusivity of a 'walmart', they can ditch the alcohol. Otherwise, follow the law. Where I'm from, Costco is 1.2 hours away if no traffic.
