Love my local Sam's Club, probably one of the best bulk grocery shops to go.If you don't want to deal with the crowding at Costco. The main difference between the Costco and the Sam's Club is the taste of the food. I'll let you decide which one is better. Also, the best thing , (the absolute best thing) about Sam's Club is they have self automatic checkout on your phone., no lines, no cashier, no people putting their items on a conveyor belt as the same time as you and not having to pull out your wallet and lose a credit card or your wallet. Is the reason I shop here. If Costco ever adapted this policy, I would probably never have to come to Sam's Club. Because it is pretty far away (12 miles) from my location but worth it not to stand in the line at Costco, which is less than three miles away from my home but way more crowded. This Sams club is in a great location and a great shopping center and probably one of the better shopping centers with variety in all of bakersfield. If you know of a better shopping center in Bakersfield, let me know and prove me wrong. so with that being said, i'm out.. read more

Listen, I don't know what all these complaints are about management. I've had nothing but a great experience here. My favorite part of my visit was the food court! We had 2 hotdog combos, and a huge slice of pizza for $5! Look forward to coming back! There's a pre built PC with decent specs for $999. May just have to pick it up soon read more

We just received the most amazing customer service from Andrea & Maria! They went above and beyond to help make my daughter's baby shower the best. My daughter's big request was pumpkin pies to make into mini ones. When we got there, not one pumpkin pie to be seen. The first person my friend asked said they couldn't get them out of the freezer because they were up high. She said they would be out tomorrow. I live 45 minutes away, there was no way I could return tomorrow. I went and talked to Andrea and Maria, and they are rockstars! I explained why I needed them and they made it happen. Not only did they make it happen, but they had an amazing attitude about it, so NICE! Thank you, ladies, for being the example of amazing customer service!! 10/8/25 read more

I've always talked about how much i love Sam's Club. I love their scan and go because I NEVER have to wait in line and I love being able to enter before they open at their regular hours. Plus a lot of items are cheaper to buy here than at Walmart. I used to love the curbside pickup but yesterday picking up my curbside order changed that! Recently Sam's Club put their curbside signs on one side of the road instead of on both but cars can still enter and exit on either side of the road and maybe they're short staffed always now but cars will be waiting awhile at the signs and of course more cars come and we have to form a line in the parking lot so we can have our turn to park at one of the curbside signs. I waited in my car in the "line" for maybe 15 minutes then i waited at my curbside pickup sign for 45 minutes yesterday. And of course I'm not going to have my car ac running so we just stayed there in the heat. I would've gotten my items quicker if I had just got off and shopped for my items myself. The staff is always kind when they do bring me my items but I NEVER want to use curbside pickup again. I'm going to just use my perk of my plus memebrship and come in Monday thru Friday at 8AM and beat the rush. read more

Every pickup / delivery order always has items missing ! Very frustrating and annoying. Do better Sam's

After attempting to grab eggs during the great egg debacle of 2025 from the other warehouse store, I decided to give Sam's Club a try. At the other warehouse store I almost got into a fight attempting to get to the egg case only to see there were no eggs available. At Sam's I walked directly to the egg case and grabbed 2-18 packs of eggs. Look, there are plenty of advantages between Sam's Club and the other warehouse store, but the main advantage is peace of mind! Also... There were eggs! There is no weird, unexplained line for rotisserie chickens! Scan & Go!!!! I still shop at the other warehouse store but I genuinely prefer Sam's Club! read more

I have had it with Sam's club after 21 years of membership. I have tried to call Sam's club for 2 days, no one Answers. I finally got through to Customer Service employee after 2 days of calling and she told me to quit my membership if I do not like it. That's the way it is. Refused to give me her name. Mr. Sam Walton has to be turning over in his grave the way his family has allowed his company has become. Even with Walmart everything has become China crap these days. I am terminating my membership. read more

There are some things I prefer to get at Sam's club over costco. (Not the gas for some reason. My wife loves it but it does not do well in my car) I like the chicken better, the ground beef, protein shakes, almond milk and alcohol selection. The best thing about sam's though is the Scan and go feature. If you don't want to make the trip, they deliver the same day! Score! I was already anti-going to stores if I could help it, so the delivery feature is amazing. read more

Sam's Club just isn't Costco. Yes, they look very similar right down to their products. But where it REALLY counts is the culture. The customer service is rough, not well trained. and down right rude on some occasions. This apathetic view to customers comes straight down from manager, trainers, and up. You can tell these employees don't care to be there, unlike Costco. Maybe it's the low pay. Maybe it's the poor working conditions. Maybe it's the dissapearing benefits. Whatever it is, it's trickling down to your service personnel and going even further to the customers. On this last occasion, the customers were downright rude. The number of fights I saw in lines was shocking. I'm sorry Costco. I won't be straying again. read more

The new girl at the food court jay was amazing. This is my first time ever ordering from there and she walked me through Everything with no rush. She was amazing thank you Sam's Club. I will definitely be referring Sam's Club over Costco. read more

Sam's Club has some decent deals, especially if you need to buy products in large quantities. Definitely a great place to prep for parties/events. However, I hate checking in because the service in this area is terrible so I'm just awkwardly waiting for my member card to load on my phone. Also, the lines get pretty long, but self-checkout usually goes by quickly. The Café food is very cheap, but the line is awfully long and overcrowded. I can't imagine that changes to the layout could really be made though. There's a Scan & Go option, but as aforementioned... the cell service in this area isn't great. read more

Sam's Club is one of my favorite's especially over Costco however recently they disappointed my family and I as we went on Christmas Eve and the store showed closing at 6pm and with that being said we arrived at 5:40/5:45 to pick up two gift cards for stocking stuffers and while it was suppose to be open the entrance was closed so we asked the worker at the exit can we go in the store says closes at 6pm and it was 5:45 and was told with an extremely rude attitude "oh I guess they closed it early" I get it's Christmas Eve however if your going to close earlier then normal at least keep those hours of store stayed it closes at 6pm and I show up at 5:45 for one item why was I turned away, extremely disappointed with this experience, please do better or make it right read more

Shopped today @ Sams Club,Gosford Rd. Had planed to pick up a few pizzas for Super Bowl. Line I am in had about 10 people in front of me . Only 1 very slow inexperienced counter person taking orders. After 15 minutes,you're reading this right 15 minutes, and only 3 people being taken care of I asked one of the 6 other employees that didn't seem to have anything to do,what's the holdup.....she replied there is a 3 hour wait on pizzas ! Maybe I misunderstood and asked again.she said they had online and such orders to take care of ! I left items I had intended to purchase and left store.I drove to Costco,had NO problem get, pizzas and will return Mon to shop. NO MORE SAMS club for me and since my membership is new I will ask for refund of such. I am still MAD but enjoying my tasty Costco pizzas read more

They have some rude ass workers, the girls in the bakery department, after asking a few questions because my cake didn't look like the online picture she says loud as i'm walking away.. "Aye, Aye,Aye". Bitch, I can't ask a question? Don't be in customer service then. read more

I'm a member so I had ordered a custom cake several weeks ago and had specifically noted on order to have a particular text on it. When I went to bakery counter Jenny had such a cheery disposition and huge smile on her mug that I couldn't help but be happy. I explained to her that I had ordered a message to be written on it. When she showed me the order form it hadn't made the order that I made. So she said " Don't worry Marc, we'll fix it immediately. I relied " really?" I thought she was just kidding around. She immediately took the Army's Cake and had Maria fix it. And boy oh boy did she fix it! It was gorgeous! No extra charge and they both were very professional and had a very upbeat demeanor. I was one happy camper! I would definitely recommend this bakery for all of your custom cake and sweets needs. Next to Smith's they had the best prices and customer service! Thanks again ladies! read more

Every time I come visit my kids, we go to Sam's Club and buy a pizza and a frozen yogurt while we shop. Love this store.

I always have a great and pleasant experience every time I go there. I have always used the quick check out which is awesome.

Would give a 0 if I could, I would have to say hands down that the management and customer service of the place atrocious!!!!! Make sure to always check the food you buy from here cause more than likey it is expired and I definitely wouldnt recommend ever buying gift cards here cause if u do and it is invalid they will pretty much laugh at you and tell you well looks like you're out the money and then proceed to get on their phone and ignore your concerns and yes this was all done by management. The management at the location has been trash for years and doesnt seem to be moving in the right direction to fix it. Dont waste your time just GO to COSTCO. read more

Curbside pick up is a disaster. I can tell you the exact reason why. People who choose not to read, park where the curbside pick up designated spots are, leaving no spots for those actually needing to park for curbside pickup. Sam's club needs to enforce something to prevent this. Also, we waited over ONE hour for our order. AN HOUR. We seen ONE employee doing all of curbside pickup. He needed help. There was a line of cars on BOTH sides waiting for a spot. This is absolutely unacceptable. This makes the curbside pick up experience terrible because you are waiting so long just to park. Then get your items brought out to you. On top of that they mark that you picked up your order before you even get your order. And also if that's the case that means your food is out of temp. DO BETTER SAMS CLUB!!! read more

Its just like costco prices about the same the only negative side is the only 2 stores near me are about 20 min away, i wish i had one in my area. read more

SLOW!!! I'm driving for uber and they took over A hour to bring my order , and before that I had to wait in a long line wich took another 15 minutes!!! This is not how a store should be ran I don't recommend NEVER come here , and ontop of that rude workers with Aditude and rude words read more

We love Sam's Club for quality items at a good price and especially when they have extra sales on items. We also love to buy the oven-ready meals which are very tasty and great for an easy dinner after a long day! read more

So i came to sams club today to get pizza and shop i called ahead to order but they told me 2 1/2 hrs wait so i said ok i need a few things so i will just order inside. I get my groceries went to the line order and they still wanted me to wait until 6. Don't come here to get your pizza go to costco. Doesn't matter if u order ahead either you still waiting even if you are here. Smh Dumb. Still waiting altho i complained. unreal. Update...So a first so called manager came over and was gonna make me wait even saying i cant order pizza while im here in line when i saw several non pre ordered people walk up to the line and get pizza. Then another lady i suppose was a manager with a net on her head said a few words which i did nit understand next thing i know they had my pizza to me in about 10 mins. Now I was truly perturbed when one of the lil ladies who was cooking the oizza's cane out and said the lady who was giving the pizzas out and would let me buy any said she made a big deal when she told them she was going to throw my pizza in the oven since im here that other lady who made me wait told the young lady NO and was giving her a hard tome because she wanted to get my pizzas to me. Smh how it all went down seemed a lil racist to me. Just saying. read more

I love the scan and go option. I no longer have to wait in line to check out. I do wish that there was more boxes around so customers could put smaller items in a box. Makes it easier to load in the car. I definitely feel that prices are better than Costco. read more

Sam's Club - Long lines - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

1st time visiting this place, NEVER AGAIN! Returning a gift and the rudeness was incredible and sad too. I've heard good things about Sam's but today was awful. Their technology is lacking, trying to return an online purchase. Employees could not figure out how to get it done and to make matters worse, didn't care. They made excuses about how busy they were vs. a simple "I'm sorry ", and now they have a former customer who will badmouth them at every opportunity. DO NOT ever shop at THIS LOCATION! read more

Still love Sam's. Still come for gas. And food. My new obsession? Scan and Go. You scan the items you're purchasing as you add them to the cart with the Sam's Club app, then you walk out. No need to wait in line. This feature alone is worth the membership haha. The lines can be hectic. They, of course, still check your receipt as you're walking out but that's no big deal! The convenience of the location is also awesome for me personally. Dangerous but great place. read more

I have always been a Costco girl up until last year. My friends had mentioned Sam's is pretty conveniently located and easy to use, with more variety of product. I joined using a Groupon that scored me some cheap membership and coupons and I have renewed and never looked back. Sam's Club is much closer to my house, so that has been a huge plus using their gas station, but that isn't even the best part. Our Sam's club is dramatically less busy and easier to get in and out of faster than our Costco stores in town. The lines aren't nearly as bad, the store is not as packed. Now, if the store is packed, I use Scan and Go which is the absolute best invention of all time. I just scan things with my phone and pay in the app and they scan my receipt and some items at the door check. It is so convenient skipping the lines!!! Sam's also has very simple online order drive up, and that is very convenient when I don't have time to go shop the store or want to stick to my budget without finding extras while I shop. Sam's club I would argue has a much bigger selection of food products overall. I have been very impressed, especially with their snacks, beverages, frozen foods, personal hygiene, and alcohol selection. There is just way more to pick from and the pricing is often a little better than Costco. I do not shop the other items they offer nearly as much as I do those categories so I can speak to that best. There is also even more to shop online, and the plus membership gets you free shipping. I very rarely use my Costco membership now. Price is usually slightly better at Sam's for most food items. Costco for me is better with their deli and fresh foods to take and bake and the snack bar. Those are a big higher quality than Sam's in my opinion. Overall, i would highly recommend Sam's club. Staff is friendly, products are good, variety is great, and it is super convenient! read more

Horrible customer service at checkout. Management was no help When I went to speak to manager, she looked at me blankly and didn't see any issue. Our cashier stopped scanning our items to get the manager by walkie talkie to get next customer's alcohol. They kept in contact while we waited. The customer behind us was so embarrassed and said he wanted to wait his turn. We also had tears money that she bypassed and that took too long to correct read more

It's hard to rate a huge Club store like this. There are things I love, like, or absolutely do no care for. I LOVE the scan and go option while you're shopping. It makes checkout so easy! You just scan each product on your phone using the app as you add it to your cart and pay through the app. I also like the selection. Similar brands to Walmart but not the ones I'm used to from the other Club stores. Some things I just can't use another brand! I DISLIKE that they always seem to have ONE person staffing their food court. We all know how popular the $1 hotdog can be. Having one person taking orders, prepping food, serving food, etc is just insane. Especially on weekends around lunch time. We waited 35 mins one time! 8/10 will return for good fuel prices and other things I CAN switch brands on. read more

Sam's Club just started a buy $50 or more and you don't pay the $4 pick upfee to have your purchases loaded into your car. At last, right? But no, now they've started a $4 product fee. I feel like I just got hoodwinked. I would rather pay the upfront $4 pickup fee to load my car than for this business to sneak the $4 fee in under the guise of a product fee. WalMart, part of the Sam's family, doesn't charge anything for curbside. Sam's Club, you make me want to give my business back to Costco. Sheesh read more
