Minor rant and humor.

Today made *twice* now that we had threats of a certain kind made towards my club. Both times we had to evacuate and stand in the parking lot for over an hour.

I work curbside and we had so many annoyed members because we couldn't go back in and get their stuff. We had to cancel several orders, but a lot of members were understanding.

What sucks is we're in North Texas and its getting into the summer preheat. So its hot and humid out there.

Just who TF has a grudge against us? I doubt that our sister stores (there are 2 others in the suburb I work in) got any sort of threats.

The breaks would have been nice if it wasn't so damn humid.

- My card was used to pay for a membership renewal recently without my authorization.

- Bank says I was supposed to cancel based on the "merchant's terms and conditions" but I can't cancel a transaction on an account I don't have access to.

- I disputed the transaction a second time.

- Bank says I need to provide "new" evidence/documentation about this.

- Sam's Club says because there's no account with my phone number on it, therefore they couldn't confirm in writing anything about the transaction.

- Bank says I should file a police report or get documentation from Sam's.

- Last year my card was used to purchase pizza at the Cafe at different Sams location, but I never had a Sam's Club and don't have other transaction from Sams.

Any help figuring out how this happened or how to solve?

How is working in cafe like? I work at the ups store which is hammered non stop for amazon returns etc. But I do like fast paced as it makes time go by fast. Should I apply?

Do they give good hours? My Sam’s store is short staffed on cafe.

No one in my store knows how to create an employee membership with 1desk. It used to be where you input the WIN number at the promotion code but no one can seem to figure out how to make an employee card.
Anyone know how to make one? Management hasn’t taught us anything lol

UPDATE: Had an open door with my club manager today, he was unaware she was even acting like that; he said he'll have a conversation with her in a couple days. Apparently at one of her previous clubs they abused their PPTO (his words not mine), but that's obviously not a reason to crack down on a clubs PPTO usage that you've only been at a couple months🤨

Anyway.....if she doesnt change up after their conversation I will full send ethics. Appreciate all the input👍🏾

<><><><><><><><><><>

Who knows the policy well enough to tell me whether or not corporate/ethics will actually do something about it if I report this?

I work in front end and early(?) last month we got a new front end salary manager. Unfortunately she gets on every depts nerves but we're not gonna get into that. What's been happening lately is that she straight up doesn't like people leaving early and using their PPTO. Like one of my COSs flat out told me "ppto is her pet peeve." It's been sounding like a hostage situation the more it comes up.

If you come in for your shift and let her know you need to leave early that day, she doesn't "allow" it; she doesn't want same day notice, she wants us to let them know the day before. Even worse, if what I've been hearing is true, she wants us to explain why we need to leave early that day. Our personal lives aren't their business so why is she trying have us justify needing to leave?

So my question is, if I report her to ethics and say she's policing how and when we use our hard earned PPTO are they actually gonna get onto her for it or is it one of things where they shrug and be like "each club is run differently" type thing?

Side note just in case: our scheduling has been so awful that they keep having to call people in and ask them if they wanna extend their shifts. I've never been in any management position but I feel like there's no good reason for us to be understaffed and/or underscheduled. Budget my foot, Sams and Walmart are too big for these stores to say "oh we dont have the hours."

What’s going on? Did the orange man do something to chickens??? 🐓

Two clubs near me out of stock for a few weeks.

I walked out 2 days ago. TL gave feedback today. Said I was sending inappropriate and malicious texts too coworkers. Ive only texted with 1 coworker and definitely nothing inappropriate or malicious. Malicious is such a strong choice of words. Was a TL I had genuine respect for, got to know a bit more than just A TL when it was just him. The switch up is insane. Fuck the corporate world

Hey all, first time visitor to the sub but a long time Sam's member, I wanted to get something off my chest that I've noticed almost every time I pick up a curbside order. I see people who park in those numbered spots but don't actually have an order to pick up. They treat the area like it's prime parking and shop like normal leaving the entire space full for people who actually have orders to get.

I guess my question is next time I see it happen, what should I as a member do? I tried telling associates when I get my order but my guess is they're too busy with other orders to tell someone up the chain. I don't want to make any worker's job harder than it already is (I see you guys, I appreciate you!) but it irks me when there's no places and a good quarter or a third are asshats who leave their car to shop and have no intent on picking up.

Hi I’m new and got hired as freezer cooler deli associate, can anyone tell me what are the highest turnover roles in the store? From highest to lowest (Non leadership)

so i work overnight making pizzas in the cafe. every night i have anywhere from 5-7 towers of pizzas to make (34 in each tower; 7 cheese 14 pep, 13 meat). 1 tower take me about an hour 15 (ish) to get complete. i already don’t take my 15 minute breaks only my lunch since im trying to get everything done. on nights when there are 7 towers to make (238 pizzas) some times i don’t get to washing my utensils and bleaching the boards and i’ll leave it for the morning. i always sweep the floors no matter what.

my issue is i got in trouble for not completing my cleaning on nights i have 7 full towers to make. i only leave the utensils to make the pizzas and the boards to be bleached. i always sweep the floors and give the counters a quick wipe down.

our cafe is running on 6 people including myself on overnights. i’m a little frustrated that they want us to keep up the same work load and finish 100% everything without allowing overtime or hiring/scheduling better.

hello who can I call to complain too? becuase we have been getting so many issues and no one taken cafe serious.

Tried to shop in club today. Scanned my card and hit with this renew my membership screen. There is no way to skip it unless you renew it on site. I tried to get assistance and they try to renew it too... WTF? I chatted with advocate, and according to them, it's by design... I have both sam's club and costco. Costco has better quality and better products. The only reason I preferred sam's club is I can just scan it and walk out instead of line up for at least 30 minutes. I was forced to renew today that I really had no choice but drop everything and walk out. Money is not the issue. The experience is. Next year, if this design is still in place. I will never renew again. This bs need to stop.

I work closing shift and I
• Slack out 5-6 different racks full (1 rack of alfredo, 1 rack of manicotti, etc.)
• Do reductions and donations (can take up to an hour because I have to also rotate and dig into the bunker to make sure older stuff is on top)
• The usual closing/cleaning in the room
• Deep cleaning once a week both the prep room and HMS cooler
• Scan out and throw away expired kits (throw away expired club use items as well)
• Organize by type and expire dates and put away cooler items (salads, enchiladas, etc.)
• Ensure everything is up to ECO lab standards and throw away personal items from the mornings.
I am also expected to keep the bunker full and make backstock for morning shift. I cannot make backstock because I have to fill the constant holes due to morning shift overproducing random things and leaving the more time consuming things for me to make or messes for me to clean.
The opening shift is only expected to make things for the bunker to fill it for the morning, throw away their trash and boxes (they do not throw away all their trash and boxes), clean their dishes(they usually leave their dishes for me to clean and scrape all the gunk into the drain or leave it in the sink), and wipe down their tables (only with a tiny amount of market guard and nothing else).

I am aware of the difference and how unfair it is and my team lead and managers are aware of it and they contribute to the issue, I was just wondering if it is the same at other stores?

So my boss makes sexual comments to me all the time to the point where it’s a little bit too much but he also gives me money so am I wrong for wanting him to stop but not at the same time?

I was shopping with my MIL and bought a Mother's Day present for my mom while we were there. At the checkout, my MIL card kept getting declined, so I paid for the whole cart and she settled up with me later.

Now, the gift I bought my mom was a duplicate to one she'd already gotten from my sister, so I'd like to return it. I just need to know who needs to be there, because:

• MIL scanned her membership before checkout -- mine was never scanned.
• MIL debit card was declined, so we paid with mine instead.

If I'd purchased under my account, I know there'd be no issue. My account, my debit card. But, since it was bought on my card but under her account, do we both need to be there for the return? She has offered to do the return herself since it's her membership. Just not sure it'll work out without my debit card?

Thanks. I know this is probably dumb. I've never had to return anything here before, and I just want to be able to do it in one go.
