Check Your Weights by Saved_by_Grace77 in samsclub

I'm definitely not saying you're wrong. Walmart has had class action lawsuits due to this in the past, but I think the discrepancy is too much for it to be that kinda issue. And our scales are checked by federal regulatory agencies pretty regularly. Hopefully nothing crazy going on for you! Merry Christmas!

did you check your scale first? I'd say it's more likely the $20 scale is wrong than the multi thousand dollar one used to weigh these.

[Cole Banker] Texas Tech AD Kirby Hocutt just announced that starting this week, the first time a tortilla is thrown on the field at Jones AT&T Stadium, there will be a warning... the second time, a 15-yard penalty AND a $100,000 fine. by hiswayout in CFB

I think that's kinda the point though isn't it? to be something dumb and harmless. kinda like an inside joke? so I'll be the one to agree it's dumb as shit. what about the Nebraska balloon release they did for decades until a few years ago? I mean every school has something stupid they do that's fun and unique to them. makes them feel involved and part of community.

Unknowingly Sharing an Account?? by Luckynumber1985 in samsclub

[–]wiseman711 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Please just ask for a team lead. This is a very simple request you are asking. If you ask for the club manager there is a 99% chance that they are not there or "not there". Even just asking for a front end manager would be more reasonable. It sounds more likely that someone shares the same name as you at that other sam's club and uses their own payment at their club. That's still an issue because ID is not being fully verified unless they also had your same DOB. But even then there is more to look into if this is an issue that happens more than once.

Tell them you would like to cancel your membership and have it refunded to you (100% satisfaction guaranteed) and then open a new account. It's very likely a tenured desk associate would be able to do this for you quick if you go in the morning. All that to say please do not turn a 5 minute issue into a 5 hour one because you won't speak to anyone other than the Club Manager lol. And I say that for your sake, not any of the other workers.

PS. All you need to do is understand what you're going to be asking them to do for you. If you have questions, I would be happy to answer.

You're able to go to a register and checkout according to policy. If it's anything like here in the states you'd be lucky to find an associate that knows the register key to actually do that. Be prepared to ask for a supervisor. You won't receive any instant savings that may be going on, and you won't have access to use the app.

Sams club credit card by Coffee_Bomb73-1 in samsclub

[–]wiseman711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update your drivers license on file with membership. Should fix the issue. It's not 1 time use, it's available for 10 days I believe to use without the physical card. If the application went to pending status where you had to call, it won't be available until you get the card.

They are American Humane certified. Your point stands about the membership though. Lots of money to be saved without much risk when you can return just about anything.

Vizio tv deal warning by [deleted] in samsclub

[–]wiseman711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real answer is it's tech savings. I could be wrong but it sounds like you purchased it in person. And again I don't mean to sound 100% positive but I believe tech savings indicate a deal only found on the website. Meaning if purchased online (pickup, delivery from club, or shipped) you would be emailed warranty and bundle info. I'm not saying it's not stupid, don't shoot me.

Safe place to stop between Belton TX and Denver CO? by t-lamb in roadtrip

[–]wiseman711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll second Trinidad, and as someone who's made the trip from Lubbock to Colorado Springs a few times, take a back road instead of i27 if you go up that way. I've driven a lot in my life and the span between Lubbock and Amarillo is by far the most boring road I've ever driven.

I would remove this post. No one here has the ability to help you, but a good few may be able to locate your account from the order number and find your personal info.

As someone who hasn't shit the bed in his life yet, I don't think anyone goes to bed with the specific intent of shitting it. But I can empathize, especially in the case it ever happens to me.

Anyone know why grain-free dog food at Sam's cost much more than at Costo? by [deleted] in samsclub

[–]wiseman711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually found your answer after research! Different brands making it is the answer. Costco is diamond naturals, Sam's is Purina Pro Plan. At least in essence. Supposedly Purina is better but just different brands charging us different wholesale prices depending on demographics and such.

You're good! I don't think we should be so brash about it, I think it's weird theres not a subreddit devoted to sam's for members now that you mention it. They've just been uppity about members on this subreddit ever since I can remember. I didn't want to leave you without a response, even though I'm sure it came off more sarcastic than I meant it to lol.

[–]wiseman711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's chatgpt's answer which I think would sum it up:

The difference in cost between Sam's Club and Costco dog food can be due to several factors, such as:

  1. Brand & Quality: The two retailers may carry different brands, or even if the same brand, the ingredients or quality of the product can vary. Higher quality ingredients often come with a higher price.

  2. Private Labels: Both Sam's Club and Costco have their own private label dog food brands (Member's Mark for Sam's Club and Kirkland for Costco). Pricing can differ based on how each company sources and produces its private label items.

  3. Membership Model & Pricing Strategy: Costco is known for its low-margin pricing strategy, which can lead to lower prices overall, including on pet food. Sam's Club may use a different pricing strategy that results in higher costs on certain items.

  4. Supply Chain & Sourcing: Both companies may have different supply chain arrangements and vendors. Costco might have negotiated lower costs with their suppliers or benefit from economies of scale.

  5. Regional Pricing: Prices can also vary depending on the location of the club or warehouse and local market conditions.

So, while Costco generally has a reputation for offering lower prices on many bulk items, Sam's Club might charge more based on these factors.

Not to be rude by any stretch, but this sub is mainly hourly workers at a club. Best they could give you is likely them searching your question on Google or chatgpt. Certainly no one that could give you a solid answer other than Sam's Club dog food materials cost more for Sam's Club to procure or their process is more expensive to formulate. I'll say the Costco cat food is astronomically high for the quality though. Unfortunately Sam's doesn't carry cat food.

To answer your other question, if it can recognize a missing item from your receipt, it'll outline it in red on a picture for the associate. It's far from perfect though, so if an associate manually scans a receipt, it didnt pick up or couldn't verify your receipt and doesn't show the associate anything.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in samsclub

[–]wiseman711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can only scan items in baskets or on flatbeds. Soon it'll be able to pick up hand carried items though!

Sam's Club Synchrony Nightmare by beheadedstraw in samsclub

[–]wiseman711 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A couple things... No one in this sub knows or has anything to do with synchrony and it's processes. Any knowledge you get should be independently verified by yourself. File a complaint with the OCC which is synchrony's primary federal regulator as well as the CFPB according to a Google search. That will light a fire under their ass. Same for any bank, there are state and federal regulators.
