I know what you mean Bob. I *hate* Sam's Club. I always call them a
"service with a sneer" club. UGH. I do, however, have a card because they
have about 3 things that Costco doesn't carry. I probably visit them about
3 times a year and sometimes I'll get so ****ed off that I'll leave my cart
standing. I hate to do that but when you see two lines open, 30 folks
standing waiting to check out and the "managers" standing there having a
laugh and acting like you're bothering them by asking if they can possibly
open another line,ugh, you get the point.

I *always* say the same damn thing when I leave. "I love Costco".

ugh!
