    You spend more time waiting in line to get a piece of pizza and getting your groceries really wish management wouldn't punish café workers by not giving them help

    Everyone, My own imposed rules for any review: 1. Must visit at least three times. Two of which must be distinctly different formats; i.e. one weekday night and one weekend night. 2. The food category is rated on fresh items, not processed or boxed items since those should be the same everywhere. Although, processed food pricing can be compared to other stores. Thanks. Sams Club - Elgin Location/Layout - 5/10: Located on Randall Rd in Elgin, this store is very easy to find and convenient for most of the greater Elgin and Northern Fox Valley residents; especially since we now longer have to travel 30 minutes in a eastern or southern direction to get to a store. The store is a full sized format which means they carry most items and have both a tire department and filling station. Parking is ample, but the lot can get hectic with patrons traveling to the other stores/restaurants which will only get worse as more shops open in the complex. The lots are fairly well maintained but the carts need to be collected and corralled more often, as the limited corrals fill quickly allowing the over flow carts to ride the breeze. Service - 5/10: Service is fair and friendly throughout the store if you are able to locate someone; with the pharmacy and tobacco area having the stellar service reps. You are put through the normal card interrogation at the gate, which I still don't understand since you can not check out with out a card, along with the receipt highlighter anti-shop lifting technique. The receipt validation is fine but there are two main issues: 1) there is only one person at the door doing the validation ever, no matter the day or time which creates huge backups. 2) We only usually buy a few things and it never fails that there are between 1 and 15 business owners ahead of us buying a months supply of everything. This is completely fine as that is what this store is actually intended for but there should be an express interrogation lane or a second person put at the door. Food/Item - 6.5/10: The main reason that we go to Sam's is that they offer unique items that are not available elsewhere, ex. include frozen items and brands that are not available at other stores and shelf stable items such a Olive Garden salad dressing. We also purchase other items that are at a very good discount, including seasonal items, alcohol and tobacco products, and even clothes. The food in general is hard for us to take advantage of because even though they do offer fresh meats, produce, and dry goods, they are usually in such quantities that we can not use them quick enough and end up not saving because of waste. Although, the meats are a good value and are quality cuts if you are able to use or store them effectively. Overall Experience - 6/10: We shop at Sams for very unique items, pharmacy, and to use the filling station quite frequently. This store is a good addition to the greater Elgin area and offers great convenience for those that are looking for purchasing in bulk or to supply a small business.

    Friendly and always accurate. Greeted every time I go in and they are always helpful. Even though…read moreit takes a while to get there, it's worth it for the type of service they provide.

    My dad has been buying medicine from this store for a very long time and says the prices on…read moremedicine are really great so when he asked me to buy him some crutches after an ancle sprain, he insisted that I go to THIS store. I WAS able to find crutches here AND a wrap for his ancle but what I didn't realize was that I had to check the height of the crutches... so I ended up buying crutches that were too tall for my dad. I called the shop right away and talk to the what I assume is the pharmacist. He was also the guy who helped me check out so he remembered that I was there earlier. I was afraid he was going to tell me that there was nothing he could do, as the girl who pointed out the crutches to me did mention that they were non returnable... but he was so REASONABLE and even though he didn't have the height that I needed, he ordered the right height and had them ready first thing in the morning the following day!! He let me do an even exchange... and he made what I thought was going to be dreadful non returnable experience.. a simple pleasant exchange. I felt the need to write this long review about my experience with this pharmacist because people like him are hard to find. In a world we're people tend to be... lazy and would rather brush you off with "there's nothing I can do" and "we're out of stock, sorry".... finding someone like him in today's world is always an amazing experience and a breath of fresh air. Someone who genuinely cares and want to help in which ever way he can. I said Thank You a bunch of times to him but I just wanted to say it one more time. Thank You I recommend you get medicine for yourself or a loved one from this place if you want to get it from someone who genuinely cares.
