Sam's Club to eliminate all checkout lanes

They need to put a bid sign on the front window that says, "If you don't have a phone and internet connection, you can't shop here". Then you can decide if the store lives or dies. I'm pretty tech savvy, but my "fuck you" meter would be going into the red zone if I read such a sign. Nothing personal, just business.

And what about tourists? Do you simply tell them to fuck off?

It's weird, I loathe self checkout lanes at the grocery story and will wait in line for a manned lane unless I'm in a major hurry, but I use the Scan N Go at Sam's every time.

What are they going to do if something doesn’t scan? Although…that happened to me recently at a gas station. Went to buy a six pack of beer. The girl scanned it, nothing. Scanned it again. Nothing. Scanned it three or four more times. Still nothing. Normally, in a situation like this, they’ll go look for the price and enter it manually. This girl? Nope. She grabbed the six pack and put it behind the register and said “I can’t sell you this”.

I left.

Are you sure she was talking about the beer?

30 years ago they were talking about pushing your cart full of groceries without ever taking them out, thru a scanner and it did it all at once.

Of course that would be too easy.

Slink, I have certain expectations for you. You might even say holding you in esteem. Its like a social contract



Honestly, I couldn't care less. People have to buy their groceries someplace

We get most of our groceries from Giant Eagle, but certain things are such a good deal at Sam's that we get them there.

I also have a membership to Costco, although I've never been there. Maybe I should try it.

We go back and forth between Walmart and Giant Eagle depending on what we want. I honestly have never been to a Sam's so can't really speak to it. I used to go to Costco on occasion but I think the same rule applies to all those places that unless you are buying in bulk or large quantities I am not sure you are really getting ahead.

On certain items, the savings is pretty substantial. We also have five people in our house, so we go through stuff.

There is a Sam's about a half a mile from my office and it's in between my office and my house, so it's pretty convenient, even if I'm just grabbing one or two items.

Can you pick me up a box of pudding pops?
 
@SlinkyRedfoot you laugh, but Mrs Chicken forbids me from enjoying my favorite snacks. So back to a more serious note, leave them behind Mustard Seed Market by the dumpster and I will Venmo you
