So walmart said it will pay its associates for 2 weeks if they get sick. Interesting because the goverment just said anyone that gets sick will get paid at no cost to the employers. Hmmm, i knew this company isnt just gonna give you free money. Take... — read more
Reduce hours
I appreciate the company giving us a little extra cash and early Sam's share, but it won't mean anything if we're all sick. The company needs to respond NOW not later like it always does with things in general. Reduce the members in the building... — read more
Bonus
Walmart just announced all full time associates will get a $300 bonus and part time will get $150, regular bonus will also get paid out early (late April). This is for Walmart and Sam’s associates.
Associate appreciation day
Our club is opening between the hours of 6am-8am tomorrow for the associates to shop. It’s funny how they think of this “associate appreciation day” as soon as we got our bonus. Thank you Walmart!
Experts/People
The experts say: "let's practice social distancing" The people say: "lets go shopping at Sam's, bring kids and grandma"
When is Our Next Sam’s Share????

Do you feel safe at work?
It's an honest question. State your position, location and if you are feeling safe at work. I am a pharmacist currently working at Sam's Club pharmacy in Fullerton, CA and I do not feel safe at work (co-workers not wearing masks, people not washing... — read more
Why are whole families allowed in clubs?
Why isn't home office limiting how many people can come into a club at one time. I keep getting groups of four, five, and above. Even husbands and wifes could be limited to one or the other. The associates need protection, someone who cares that... — read more

Sam's Should Stop Putting Workers At Risk. Do The Right Thing
Associates are fearful of being around the mass people coming in everyday. It seems counterproductive when we are suppose to stay clear of large crowds yet that's all that is there. Do associates lives along with your faithful customers not matter at... — read more

Really wish Home Office would make it clear on the website that placing an order does not guarantee that item will be available on the pickup date. So tired of people complaining they ordered it 3 days ago why don't we have it. No understanding that... — read more
First Quarter Bonuses
I am going to just take an educated guess that sams will redo the sales and profit projections so that we all get screwed out of a better bonus and blame it on payroll.
Points
I feel like the mangers should have to clock in like associates. We as associates gets points but however your managers can't get to work on time. Who agree with that. It's not right nor fair. Keep up with them lead by example. They are quick to... — read more

Why have "Sick Time" hours
What's the point of the "sick time" hours when nobody can use them? I have well over 100 hours just sitting in that bucket. And in this "crisis" nobody can use it while potentially being exposed to this virus. How about not being able to use them for... — read more
Our sick ours they took from us!
This company should let us use our built up sick hours we can’t touch right now to take time off work because of this corona virus. Anyone else agrees?
So now were "heros"
Just read an article saying people who work in the medical field and those of us are "heros" for working during this time. Absolutely ridiculous because half of us want the club to close down anyways. But apparently were feeding America whilst... — read more

Social Distancing
The CDC is recommending limiting the amount of patrons at social gatherings to 50 people or less for the next 8 weeks. But it's ok to have business as usual in our clubs? We have hundreds of members in our clubs at any given time. Schools... — read more
Stop club pick up
Home office: if you’re listening: STOP CLUB PICK UP FOR NOW! It’s too overwhelming completing 71 orders (not even a big volume club) when there is no merchandise and angry members. First come first serve. Stop club pick up!!!

Starting Tuesday 9am-8pm will be new hours for time being
Returns after the fear is gone.
We already have had people bring back hundreds of dollars of food, because "they bought too much." I'm not sure what the company can do, but they better address this issue before it gets out of hand.
Final Check?
Last day was March 13, can anyone please tell me when I will receive last check and where I can find the amount since I am no longer on Walmart.one system. Thanks
