What kind of questions did you need answered? Pretty much everything you need to know about a product is available either on the box on on a website.

You may go somewhere else and pay more to have some minimum wage flunky tell you things about a product that he knows nothing about.

Are you talking about Sam's Club? I had no idea they had such an app. How do you show your receipt when leaving the store?

Actually we did get the info we wanted from the box.

The trick was thru trial and error learning how to use it. The more we learn how to use it the happier we are with it.

For example thought that broiling was the best way to make burgers on it. Turned out using the grill gave us much better results.

Don't be conned folks the upgrades membership is a joke, other than getting in the store at 8 am which they don't have any employees that know what they are doing and not enough employees to service the customers. Its a Chit show!
Sam's is in a self destruct mode and I cant wait to see Costco here.
The Manager on Duty Lacey is Laughing with other employees instead of doing her job and helping the service desk with employees that don't know what they are doing PERIOD!
The General Manager is not watching the store and how it is running.
From 8:30 am to 9:36 am no one would pick up the phone in Tires and Batteries and or the service desk.
Try calling 352-751-5150.
Unbelievable!!!! Good luck folks, Sam's stores in my home town finally closed down due to poor customer service!!!
CRAZY!!!! No one cares!
In all fairness I need to update this post.
The General Manager at that store "Milly" reached out to me and is trying to fix the problems and seems to care about what is happening to the store. I did have a long conversation with her about all the issues.
The problem still remains is corporate America dictates the hours and employees she is allowed to service the store with.
As we have said in this forum, the Corporate bean counters need to get away from there excel spreadsheets and get down on the frontline to make these stores run better and get the input from the GM's to find out what they need. I am told she is trying to make things better at the store and will read this forum to get her feedback.
Lets just hope she can make a difference!

CS is worse at all retail stores. Probably going to get still worse than better everywhere. On the COSTCO location rumors. Two Westley Chapel Costco employees told me they were told by company folks they were looking for land between Ocala and here but closer to The Villages. Makes more sense than being in a retirement community and they better have a large hearing aid department!!!!
