P.S. Sam's Club is switching from the Sam's Discover card to a new Sam's MasterCard. I received the new card in the mail and will no longer be able to use the old one. This change over was scheduled for the end of the month (August). Perhaps this caused a computer glitch which accounted for the recent cash register malfunctions.
If you use the self checkout at Sam's with your new Mastercard, you should be aware that there is a chip on the front right of the card. The card has to be inserted in the bottom of the card reader with the chip up. It will not work if you slide your card in the strip reader. We went in a few days ago to pick up three items and couldn't get the reader to work. After about five minutes of playing with this thing, an associate came over and helped me out.

I'm disappointed that this wasn't explained when I got my new card or that they don't have clear instructions at the card reader. But, it was a one time thing.

Another issue that I have is that I used to use the self checkout every time. One day we went in and they had changed the self checkout lanes to ten items or less only. Now I get inline and wait while I see four or five self check out lanes empty.
