Are we the only store that doesn't have mats for the cashiers to stand on?
Are we the only store that doesn't have mats for the cashiers to stand on? We had mats when I started, but the mats got old and were tossed. Management never replaced them.
Key dates
Do you still get points if you call in around a key date even if you have enough ppto to cover it??
The hiring process is worse than it was 11 years ago - we get what we deserve.
When I was hired a little over 11 years ago, I first interviewed three times, each by a separate manager for a different area of the store, all one after the other on the same day. I was offered three different positions and had to choose one of... — read more
Is the point system really being implemented?
It doesn't seem to be in my club, I'm wondering if that's the case elsewhere? Let me make it clear, this is not a complaint. I think the new system is horrible. You get the flu and you can end up not having a job by the end of the week - or at... — read more

Here is a repost. If you were wondering why all the changes. Here you go.
I've been discussing the warning signs for a while now. It used to be that the home office would come up with some big process change or whatever, maybe once or twice a year or something like that and those changes were ALWAYS an effort to reduce... — read more
Who else is thinking about leaving due to block scheduling?
I don’t see any other option at this point. I can’t spend time with my family, attend to family obligations, hell even getting some sleep is something that rarely happens to me. I thought I’d get used to it when it was implemented, but as time goes... — read more
Re-sets
Any clubs going through major resets? Also any news on the new mapping program? And will it work?
Less employees and smaller wages
From what I see that’s the whole brilliant strategy of our leadership to keep the numbers. If that’s not the writing on the wall and a signal for anyone that plans to stay at Sam’s, I don’t know what is. I once loved working at this company, but... — read more

New members fewer and fewer?
Have you noticed the same thing? Most of the members we see have been shopping with us for years, new faces are much rarer to notice these days. Or is it just my location?
Why did they get rid of the FT PTC
If the job codes were changed for PTC and Cash Office, then why did they get rid of the FT PTC? The people in PTC in our club do not know squat about personnel....very young and very inexperienced...does not make sense to me.

Say it with me. Nobody is safe!
