| - Sam's is cool. Nothing like a monstrous building filled with stuff that you aren't likely to need anytime soon, and if you do find something, you're going to end up buying so much that it will likely go bad before you can use it all.
Still, there are a few things that we've found that we can use at Sam's - there's an awful lot that we don't buy at Sam's, but there is plenty that we do buy.
Unfortunately, the best part of this location is the Pakman. He used to work in the fresh meat area, and on Saturdays you could catch him cooking up something (often fish). Never have I seen so many people try fish - even people who don't typically eat it - and actually walk away purchasing fish.
It would seem that the powers that be at Sam's only had a part-time position for Pakman in the fresh meat section, however, so he's now working the door, and I would imagine that they are selling a lot less fish. So if you stop in, tell him I said hello, and tell the manager to find a full-time position for him by the meat.
I'll agree with what others say about the food counter, with a few exceptions. First, you can get a good deal there - combos are great (I personally prefer a slice and a drink, rather than the hot dog however). But they often advertise Nathan's, and they don't serve Nathan's dogs. Second, look around the condiments area and you can find all sorts of things to put on the dogs - crushed red peppers, parmesan, onions, relish among other items. And try the pizza. It's usually fresher than the dogs!
