warehouse clubs

[willidan]

Is anyone a member of a warehouse club? Anybody have any pro or con stories to tell? I'm thinking of joining Sams, but haven't quite gotten to the point of justifying the $50 a year membership fee.

Edited 11/14: I'm convinced. I'll take some of my Christmas money and invest in a membership. Thanks!

Costco really does treat their employees well. I'd forgotten about that. I used to know a woman who worked for them and she wouldn't give up working for them for anything.

My mom's in the grocery story, so she hears things, and that's exactly what she's reported. And the employees just always seem like they actually want to be there.

When I was looking for a job a number of years ago, I actually looked at them because of their reputation. Unfortunately, the positions I would have been interested in were all at their headquarters which would have involved me moving.

I have a friend who's been job hunting; she checked at our local store, and was told that a) they had no open positions, and b) didn't expect to have any soon, because c) employees really don't tend to quit.

c) employees really don't tend to quit.

That's one of the best signs of a healthy business.
