We have several tables at the desk. Each one has a feature that doesn't work, ranging from the credit card slider not working to not being able to print anything. We're down from three printers to one now. Driver's license and Sam's Club cards won't... — read more
Email only working for BYOD at the moment.
This is such a lame and obvious way of them trying to get people to sign up for byod. What’s funny is they think they’re being clever by making it seem as if it’s an accident. I really hope someone higher up reads this. We’re not as stupid as you... — read more
The goal is to push the limits of how bare bones the clubs can operate
The goal is to push the limits of how bare bones the clubs can operate. Audit team elimination was a drastic move, now leads do most of the audits while running their area, given the leads more responsibilities to Own Your Inventory. Once Daylight... — read more
Email only avail on byod?!
Just got word that we can only get our email through app with byod...?! I thought using your own device was optional.

Heard Photo is gone in some Market 30 Clubs, anyone know for sure?
When does the management lose patience when a club is not doing good?
Our sales have dropped severely, compared to last year , when we were told we were doing good. We all hope an improvement in sales is going to come, but so far it’s worse month by month. How long do you think the management will tolerate the sudden... — read more
Block Scheduling
How will block scheduling effect the cashiers and COS'S.....what kind of schedule will they be given.
Restructuring
Has anyone heard of a restructure in June?
Ppto
Why is everyone so concerned with the new point system? Key dates? Etc etc.. just go to work when you are scheduled and you'll be fine! 🙄🙄🙄
It all eventually quiets down
See that people have been posting about their displeasure regarding the implementation of block scheduling, but after a week or two it all quieted down. Think that this pattern that I saw on this board is a good representation of how we deal with... — read more
PPTO/KEY EVENT DATES
In my club, every single manager you ask on this topic says a completely different answer. Some say PPTO does not excuse you from Key Event Dates, some say you need triple the PPTO hours to cover your entire shift on a Key Event Day (8 hours per... — read more
NEW COACHING PROCESS?
Anyone hear anything on this?
Seeing some improvements
I see people complaining their sales are dropping - but our club is actually seeing an increase in foot traffic and sales. Which makes me even madder when they cut positions or hours in the middle of improving results - how exactly do they expect us... — read more
Sales keep dropping
Is there any indication that our esteemed leadership will try to deal with the issue of dropping sales in any substantial way that might actually change the trend - or is it going to be layoffs, eliminated positions, and cut hours forever and ever... — read more
The only thing you can count on for sure is change
The only thing you can count on for sure is change. Maybe not today or tomorrow but it will come. It’s retail. Change is inevitable and it’s important to any company’s growth. Better to exhaust energy on executing in your role to ensure there is an... — read more
What changes await us after block scheduling?
Feel that this was just the start of a wider process in which the management wants to apply a wider set of changes to the way clubs are run and the way associates work. Any ide what do they have in store after the implementation of block scheduling?
It's just a job. Why you're taking it so personally?
It's just a job. Why you're taking it so personally? These customers, or members if you must, are shoppers, not our children, family, or friends, (well, not most of them.) They pay to shop here, so we kiss their butts a bit more than they do at other... — read more
Anything happening with optical?
3rd party?
We’ll get used to block scheduling
Not that we have any choice, but this will go down like any new id--tic idea that they have imposed on us. A little revolt on forum pages, some talk about it around the water cooler, and before we know it it is the new reality. Don’t get me wrong... — read more
Have you noticed
So now with the new blocking schedule coming out have you noticed people being moved around? What I have seen is some being moved out of the department where they would be working the late shift being moved to another department where they would have... — read more
Stop asking the same questions
Before you post, scroll down and check the previous posts. 9/10 someone already asked or inquired about what you’re inquiring about. Stop asking the same questions everyday.
Any info on what clubs could be closing?
Lot of rumors on this site and also among the employees at my club, but nobody is mentioning anything specific about what clubs could be closing in the near future. If these rumors have any truth to them than someone should know or at least have some... — read more
Management!!!!
If they lay off anyone it should be Managers! Lazy, don't know anything, late, don't respond to calls and make rules up as they go . they should work at the coffee shop they do that well!! R I P S A M ' S !!!
Banner on the layoff website
The ad at the top of this page says on bold letters " Costco now hiring"
TL cuts
With overnight coming to days will there be cuts of TL positions.
Point system
The only thing that your PPTO hours will not excuse is a no call/no show, every other situation will be covered as a ZERO POINTS occurrence if you use PPTO. Clock in 10 minutes or more late or leave 10 minutes before shift ends = .5 points Call off... — read more
Club closings in second quarter?
I just read somebody mention on Walmart's page that this quarter they are closing Walmart stores, and next quarter they will most likely start closing Sam's Clubs. Is this true? And if it is true, is there a way to know if a Club is in danger of... — read more

Beware of PPTO
Called in sick next day I applied my PPTO, next day it shows i still got a point even says I used PPTO for my absense. Beware.
Key Event Dates
Does PPTO apply even if it’s a key event date??
Lead MSS?
Lead MSS? They have no clue! Elimanate this job. Worthless. Let the system to the schedules like it is supposed to. Stop dictating the club and do your job on the front end. Hint actually work on the front end.
Approved Absence
What is considered an approved absence that doesnt cost any points ...
