Awful checkout setup. Long lines extend into merchandise aisles. Need to check length of lines 1 by 1.
Steve O.

I've grown to appreciate Sam's more since they introduced the scan and go option for check out since using the registers here are a real pain in the buttoosky due to the number of customers. Lining up here is reminiscent of waiting in line to get onto the Matterhorn at Disneyland, although the amusement park might be more expensive the way they keep raising their prices. They do carry a variety of things you can't find at Costco so having both memberships isn't as redundant as it may seem. I especially like the variety of beverages here like Propel and Lipton ice teas that are rarely found at Costco. The premade salads here are exceptionally good and reasonably priced. The sheet cakes like birthday cake aren't overly sweet like the kinds you find at most grocery stores. It's really worth going to both stores to see what they carry at least once a month so you don't purchase something you're just settling on rather than the item you actually want. Gasoline is better to purchase from Costco due to the higher grade of gasoline carried by them.

Budget friendly and a consistent variety of products is the thing I enjoy the most when shopping at Sam's Club. A special shout out to the bakery that is always helpful. Those gas prices cannot be beat!!

The Service: Many staffs on the floor wearing their working vests, easy to identify. Friendly & helpful service. The merchandise: Wide varieties of products and good deals too. Very clean & organized store. The Parking: Large parking lot

Costco Vibes. My first time in Sam's Club in over 20 yrs. It's like costcos business side. Smaller packs. The price is better on some items especially the meats, fish,seafood and chicken. Everything is neat and organized. So spacious. Now I need a membership here as well.

Sam's Club is definitely one of Costco's main competitors and overall it's a very good place to shop. However, there are a few things that could be improved. In today's digital world, it's surprising that Apple Pay is still not accepted here. Adding this option would make checkout much more convenient for customers. Also, on weekends like Saturday and Sunday, the waiting lines at the registers can get really long. If they could open more registers or add more staff during peak hours, it would really help reduce the wait time and make the shopping experience smoother. Other than that, the store itself is well organized and offers good deals, but these small improvements would make a big difference.

This location is BUSY! I visited on a Sunday, about an hour after opening, and it was already crowded. The parking lot was packed, and I ended up waiting 45 minutes in line. While the store was fully stocked with all the items I needed, the long lines were made even worse by a few broken registers, which slowed things down. One downside is that, like other Walmart properties, they don't accept Apple Pay, so be sure to bring a physical card or cash. I love the affordable food options at Sam's Club. You can't beat a hot dog and a drink for $1.50, and the pizza slices are huge for just $2, including a drink. While I appreciate the convenience and the prices, if you're planning to visit on the weekend, I'd recommend getting there as soon as they open. I may try the Torrance location next time, but I'll definitely return to this one.

Sam's Club 3 year Warranty Battery        14 mos. old but not covered by warranty.

Sam's Club Battery Prices seem good when you first shop but beware that if it goes bad you might not get a replacement under warranty. Sam's Club offers a 3 year Free Replacement on their Car Batteries, however they will only cover replacement of one battery during that 3 year time. If you get a battery from Sam's Club and it's bad or goes bad within 3 years and you have the original receipt, they'll replace it, if the next battery goes bad you're out of luck! I needed to make two appointments for two trips and spend 5 hours at Sam's Club Auto Center to get the 14 month old battery checked and then finally get told that the bad battery is not covered since it was already a replacement 14 months ago. It's Not My Fault their batteries Fail! The good old days of Sears Automotive replacing Die Hard Batteries for free for 6 years without the receipt is unfortunately gone.

Cheaters

They cheat on gas pumps pricing i usually take photo of pump after purchase but i was in a hurry. I pumped $26.00 yet my emailed receipt says $26.01. Only a Penny but how many people do they do this too? Never a manager Need a 15-20 minute wait

I've been calling trying to get through and the phone just disconnects. My pick-up time was 2:00 PM today and it is now 3:16 PM, and no one is helping. I understand this is the holiday season, but this is highly unacceptable. No need to respond with that canned macro either. Just do better.

Convenient for small child

This Sam's Club has the worst fruit quality! From the outside looks delicious, but the pieces towards the center are bad pieces.

Does anyone know when the gas station will reopen?

It's open now. I'm pumping gas as I type this. :)

It was spacious inside and there was plenty of parking outside. There's a drive-thru pharmacy. The bad: All of the makeup is locked up in glass cabinets that require a key. It's always concerning if they need to do that so it makes me think the customers and area isn't great. The interesting: They're selling a lot of fun Halloween things now. They're not super expensive but they aren't at all cheap.

I stopped here on the way to work around 6:30am on Monday, 4/20/26, to purchase Zyrtec D and some Diet Coke. I paid for all of my items at the pharmacy. The cashier offered a receipt but I declined. I placed my items (3 Diet Cokes, a small container of baby powder, and the box of Zyrtec D) in my reusable shopping bag and exited the store. I was parked close to the entrance. I popped my trunk and was placing the bag in my trunk when an employee exited the store and approached me stating, "You need to come back in." I was confused and I'm sure by the look on my face that was obvious so he said, "You need to pay for those drinks in your bag." I told him I paid at the pharmacy. He then asked for my receipt. I told him I had it on my phone through the app. He then stated, "It's not going to show on there." He contacted the pharmacy employee via walkie talkie and asked if he had rung up a sale. The pharmacy employee stated that he had and told him what I had purchased. I now have the purchase history up on my phone. I showed this employee and he simply said, "Oh." And walked away. No apology or anything. I spend a lot of money at CVS. I am torn between shopping at a different, less convenient location and cancelling my Extra Care membership altogether. I have worked retail for 30 years. Unless you are a loss prevention employee, you should not be following people out of the store. That is a company policy at every retail company I have ever worked for. I find it hard to believe there was a dedicated LP person at this CVS at 6:30 am on a Monday. This person obviously did not check with the pharmacy or review any cameras before approaching me by my car in the parking lot. Please invest in better training for your staff. This person was an African-American male, mid-twenties, 5'8"-5'10", thick accent. I do not have his name but he was the only male I saw in the store at that time aside from the pharmacy tech.

I see this Walmart has a lot of bad reviews but I think I may have been blessed because of timing…read more I came in at eight o'clock in the morning, so it wasn't very full, and everything was well stocked. They had people in there stocking shelves. So this is a really good time to come to Walmart. They had everything I needed. Martin helped me with all the stuff I needed to get everything going electronically. Then I went and looked a little bit at furniture. I didn't come to look at furniture, but I saw a lot in that area. And the prices are obviously good. This Walmart has things like the protein bars, stuff like that. There were people is the isles packing the shevles and nobody in line. Overall, good trip. I got everything I needed. Since I'm going to come back down this way, this was not very far away and a very convenient location, and everybody was kind. I guess I will make sure I come in the morning.

The worst experience at a Walmart I've experienced my entire life! It almost seemed like a joke…read more We stopped in after landing in LAX, we needed to pick up a few things. One of the things we wanted to pick up were a few bottles of wine, and liquor. There's a button to press for assistance in the liquor isles, as all alcohol is locked up behind a glass case. We pressed the button a few times, waited about 15 min, no one ever came. I then went looking for someone, I found 2 groups of woman, in 2 different places while searching for help, and all said, we needed to look for the associate with the yellow vests, only they can unlock the doors. I finally found someone who was wearing a yellow vest after about 30 min, and I was told by him he was only wearing the vest, he can't actually unlock the door. It was definitely frustrating especially seeing all these associates just standing around doing literally nothing! Horrible customer service.
