Another bad experience. This store continues to find ways to bad customer service. Three times in one visit I was let down by way this store is operated and managed. I have bought jewelry in the past here and thought a got a good price. It was my anniversary so I decided to give them a try again. I was looking for a ruby for my wife. I got there about 4pm and no one was behind the counter. I walked around the jewelry case twice looking in the cases hoping it might draw someone's attention that was suppose to be working or watching that area if they were on break. I final noticed an employee with a Sams Club vest on looking in the case on on the far side. I made my way to her side so she could tell I was wanting help with jewelry. She ignored me so I decided to ask if she know if someone worked in the jewelry dept. Her response was "they must be at lunch". Didn't ask if she could call someone else to help me. She was peaking in the cases also, so she must have been in her break. I decided to go shop a little for some wine and see if someone shows up in a little while. Now this turns into my second disappointment on this visit. I decide to pull up some wine reviews to help me make a decision. My At&T service pops up with notice that say,
"Access to this site is block at the direction of the venue providing this service."
I tried 2-3 wine review site and got the same pop up. Sams club is providing the internet. So I tried using my data and got off their internet, but the area is in a very week area and the building also blocks a lot of the signal. I final gave up and just after 20 minutes and picked a wine and headed back to the jewelry dept.
The girl had returned and was taking to a friend on the other side. When she final asked if I needed something or just wanted to check out, I told her I needed to see something. I told her I wanted to see what they had in a ruby. She looked puzzled and asked if the was July. I said not I want a Ruby. She repeated the question and I said I don't want a birthstone, I want to see Ruby jewelry. I could tell see was still puzzled so I said, "you know, like diamonds Rubys emeralds", to help her get passed the birth stone. She said they don't have any. I pointed down at a Ruby ring below in the case. Her come back for note knowing she had a Ruby item in the case was, "Well, do you like that one"?
I said I don't know I haven't seen it yet. After looking it over I asked if she had any other items like a bracelet or necklace with a ruby. She quick said no!
I could tell she knew little, and cared even less. I picked up my wine and left.
My 3rd disappointment came when I got to the front. Just like normal, long lines to checkout. We all know, just like Walmart, they always have more registers closed than open. They must use the same software program for determining the cheapest employee cost ratio to the amount of sales per hour. I try my best to not go in Walmart for that reason, and Sams is way down my list for the same reason. I decided to leave the wine on one of the many closed checkout lines and go get my wine at HEB. Check outs at HEB is fast and they always have many registers open. Sams club needs to fix that problem of blocking web searches for wine reviews. I will post a photo with this review so you can see the screen shot of the message I got saying the site was blocked. read more
