a few interesting quotes:
Since Sam's Club honors only the Discover card, Mastercard, and debit cards, many shoppers decide to get a Sam's Club personal credit card. But before you sign up, beware: The standard card comes with a 23.15 percent APR
." While warehouse stores do have the right to check your receipt, Washington, D.C., attorney Donald Temple, who specializes in retail discrimination law, says employees cannot cross-check it with the items in your cart.
Ever hear of the "gray market"? Your club store has. The term refers to merchandise that was designated by the manufacturer for distribution in another country but ends up being sold in the U.S. Club stores .....Unfortunately, the warranties that come with gray products don't have to be honored in the U.S.

uh…most of those things they WILL tell you. there is a reason things are so cheap. theres a reason they charge you a membership.

things are cheap because its in a big barn, things might fall on you, the employees are imcompetant, and you will have to wait in line for ridiculous amounts of time. if you are willing to deal with those things, here are your savings.

I'm not sure what people expect. "why aren't there personal shopping assistants!#!!#$!$!$"
