Great idea?
I have a great idea this site should be renamed sams club rumors! Maybe 10% of the topics are about layoffs. So since nobody can stay on topic it seems like the perfect idea. I never in my life seen a board far so far off topic. Thoughts?

TBC
Anyone here about TBC departments being the next ones they are looking at closing? Been hearing chatter and just was curious if anyone has heard the same and if so when? And which ones?
Call to action!!!

Slow death
That is all.
We are not allowed to keep gift cards at the new membership desk.
Suppose to be streamlined, with a "clean" look. No gift cards?! How does that make sense?! We, basically, have to tell the members to go get their own, and bring them back. We are not allowed to keep tape or a stapler, or scratch paper, or... — read more

Are all Market Managers of a willfully ignorant sort?
