People in this world are either a Costco fan or a Sams Club fan. Besides the fact that I hate Wally-World I really like the randomness of Costco. There's always a surprise inside!
I've had a membership for 12 years. Just the basic one though and lately something has changed in their in store marketing that really SUCKS!!!
They pay people to walk back and forth among the checkout stands scanning your membership card and trying to get you to upgrade your membership. They say its just good customer service but COME ON MAN! You wouldn't pay someone $15 an hour to get me to upgrade if you didn't make a tone of money off the deal.
I'm sure that they have some statistic that upgraded customers spend $1500 more a year at the store so naturally the more people that they upgrade then that's just an easy revenue boost. I don't want to spend any more money!!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE.
Now here's the real problem. They won't stop asking me and argue with me when I politely say NO. So then I have to explain the economics of the deal which must be different then what their manager told them when they got the assignment to get me to upgrade my membership. So then I just get mad and don't return until I need 5 dozen eggs and 400 diapers again...
I'm seriously thinking about changing to Sam's Wally-mart
(The survey asked if they accept credit cards, Yes they do but only AMEX.)
