- douche 12y agoSo what service does Sam's Club offer now? From what I remember, checking out was a pseudo-dystopian experience anyway, with having to rummage in a big bin for recycled packing boxes to bag your items in yourself, then having someone give you the hairy eyeball on the way out as they looked over the receipt and your haphazardly packed boxes of groceries. I guess there's always the free cocktail weenies...
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoYeah the whole experience was slimy. I just went through your checkout; why are you inspecting my cart? In fact, what gives them the right to rummage through my stuff at all?
- bnycum 12y agoFunny you say that, our Sam's Club has self checkout lanes but they are express only. They used to not be though. We don't have a Costco in our area, so I can't compare.
- gesman 12y agoOur local Costco used to have these, but they still required dedicate babysitter to handle customers who couldn't find bar codes, or customers with overly large or heavy items or customer with membership issues or customers with payment method issues, etc... Eventually they got rid of them in favor of standard checkout lanes.
