    Rudely parked in a loading zone where he doesn't belong
    Terry K.

    In my fit of anger and irritation , I planned to reduce the stars to Sam/;s Keeaumoku to 1 but then I realized my irritation is not with Sam's directly but the customers, patrons and drivers of the establishment. Here is my story: Preface by saying the Covid Pandemic brought changes to our life which eventually became the current standard of living. Starting with the digital ordering followed by pick up and/or delivery of of your order.... Parking stalls were assigned for those who have curbside pick up orders. I've been using this service for some time now mainly for the convenience and the mental thought that I am not buying "stuff" I don't necessarily need or use (You know how that goes right? I think its referred to as impulse purchasing) My experience relates to the RUDE INCONSIDERATE SELFISH Patrons/Customers of Sam's Club who VIOLATE the curbside pick up parking stalls. There are 13 curbside pick up stalls at the Keeaumoku location of which today! 6 of the 13 and 1 Loading Zone area was taken by people who simply drove up, parking and left their vehicles to physically shop in the store. SHAME ON YOU HONOLULU SHOPPERS! WHERE IS YOUR ALOHA? If not for privacy rules, I'd post the photos of ALL the illegal parkers but it becomes a moot point as only I will be more or less satisfied that I got it off my mind. Sam's!!! Get off your okole and fix this! Patrons!!!! SHOW SOME CLASS PS- I did post one picture of a vehicle that blatantly parked in the loading zone.... no license plate but the pic illustrates what I'm saying

    Haven't written an update here in awhile... I like that they open early for Plus members at 8am. Still a little irritated though since before the world was ending with covid, they used to open at 7am for Plus members...much more convenient. The other thing that sucks is whenever you come before they open and wait in line for the doors to open, there is just no cross ventilation in that parking structure so it's always so stifling hot there. Always a lot of good stuff with Sam's though, I still think their rotisserie chickens are superior to Costco's. While Sam's birds are smaller, they taste way better. It's whatever they use in their rub that really puts them ahead. I also notice they've been upping their liquor game. This last time I came they had some really good bourbon options, right up my alley. They've upped their meat game over the last few years as well but I think Costco still has a big edge on them. As always, I'm happy to have both memberships since there are things that I can only get at Sam's and vice versa. Definitely happy to have been a member for decades now.

    4/9/22 this stuff is so good!

    Love the scan and go app that makes skipping the checkout lines so much easier and faster. HOWEVER, I do not like the scan and go option for their food court. I ended up going to the line which I thought was formed out of people not understanding there is a scan and go feature to pick up food and there is an ordering line. Well turns out the 8 people waiting in line were for the scan and go and the one person ordering was for the actual check out. Seems ridiculous to have a process that is meant to be easier and faster, a lot slower. Also, the people working behind the counter always seem like they hate their job. I hope Sam's can figure out a way to get it going faster or more efficient that an order comes in and it's placed somewhere for people to just pick up.

    Sam's Club is a membership-only warehouse club chain owned by Walmart, offering bulk and wholesale prices on a selection of products, including groceries, electronics, and home goods. It first opened in HI in July 1993 in Pearl City, together with Walmart. Its 2nd location in HI opened in Oct 2004 in Honolulu. This review is for the Sam's club at the Honolulu location. We first became members of Costco Warehouse Club when Costco first opened in HI in 1988. After competitor Sam's Club entered HI in 1993, there was always the question as to whether to have membership in both clubs or one club, and whether one club was better than the other. Since the get-go, we've found that it's helpful to have membership at both warehouse clubs, as both have pros and cons. For example, in our situation, Sam's Club provides these benefits over Costco: * Increased snack food selection. * Packaging of items appear smaller, thereby appealing to smaller households. * Offering of icee floats. * Covered parking for customers. * Longer open hours. * Curbside pickup allows for faster checkout. * Scan and go app allows for faster checkout. * Reward discounts can be applied directly onto the bill transaction; whereas, Costco's reward points are cumulatively added as part of the rebate amount issued to the member at a specific time to be redeemed in the warehouse club. However, Costco provides these benefits over Sam's Club: * No one answers the phone at Sam's Club during opening hours if you have any questions. * Sam's Club lacks sufficient staff in Customer Service in addressing customer issues (sometimes there is only one staff person trying to resolve a customer issue, which can take as long as it can until it's resolved) or on the floor addressing customer questions. * Sam's Club Customer Service could not resolve a problem with our membership card; nor could they call the national office to assist even if we were there and said that we had to call them directly on my own. * Costco's inventory has more higher-quality, higher-end products, esp in electronics, liquor, and organic foods. * Costco offers more generous return policies. * We don't always receive the "coupon" book in the mail; Sam's Club Customer Service staff said he hadn't received his either. And there are subtle differences between the two. For example, Costco appears more convenient, as it is only about 1 1/2 miles from our home; however, whenever we are in town, Sam's Club is convenient, as it is right in the middle of town. And while both carry similar inventory, we are satisfied with getting either one, especially when one is sold out but available in the other warehouse club. Hence, we tend to use both warehouse clubs, as both provide us with various options. Hours of operation are daily 9a to 8p; Sam's Club Plus (upgraded membership tier) members early shopping hours from 8a to 9a daily. Free covered parking available in private lot shared with other businesses. There is nothing in black and white that specifies that one is better than the other, as it all depends on your specific situation. We love that we are members of both warehouse clubs and use both to our advantage.

    I've been to many Sam's Club around the country and this location is the busiest by far. The checkout line gets long but the cashiers are efficient and friendly. The store is clean and well stocked with a variety of merchandise. We especially like the Members Mark products. The Cafe gets packed during lunchtime

    Shopping at Sam's Club saves me time, mostly because I use curbside pickup. Even when I go into the store it's quick though, thanks to their scan n' go app feature. I just wanted to talk about their curbside pickup. I love how convenient it is. I place my order a day or two before and just wait until I get notification that it's ready. Over the past several years, I've only had a few disappointing experiences, like where they picked rotten produce. If you want them fresh & perfect, you have to go in and pick 'em yourself. I've edited to add that a few times, they took forever (45-60min) to bring my order out. Not really complaining because I know it gets busy, but those particular times it was just me and one or two other cars waiting. Twice, I've gone in to get it myself. They have also missed an item or two, but by accident. They've recently added more pickup stalls. Lately it's been good with 5-10 min wait times. They used to have 2 people running it. I'm guessing they added more employees to make it work efficiently. Curbside Pickup is always free for Plus members. For Club members, it's free on eligible items totaling $50 or more pre-tax (otherwise, there's a $4 fee per order).

    John N.

    When at Sam's Club we always see if Corinne is working. She is the best salmon and fish griller. She knows exactly when the fish is done taking to account the drive home and the heating for later. It's never dry and so moist and tasty. She is very pleasant and friendly. Just the best. Keep up the great work Corrine. Sam's Club is lucky to have such an employee. 10/10 for the salmon and 20/20 for Corinne. Aloha.

    I love the scan and go. It's one of the best features Sam's Club has. No meed to wait in line. Just go in grab your stuff, scan, pay and go.

    Cheesy breadsticks! New item at the food court.
    Jon D.

    Sometimes they have good stuff that you can't find at Costco. Town location is so crowded. Service ain't great. Better than not having one at all.

    How do I buy Cafe food? My phone does not take the app.

    Go to any cashier, order and pay there. Then go to cafe and wait until they call your name!

    Doe the Keeaumoku Store have an ATM?

    Yes

    Do you have the shop early hours for plus members on Saturday?

    Yes

    Do you have to be a member to go in?

    Not really as you can tell the person at the front door that you are interested to join. They will direct you to the member counter but then you can also walk around the store.

    What time is the bakery open until on saturdays?

    Bakery keeps the same hours as the store but if you are looking to do a special order, you need to give at least a couple of days notice with your order.

    What time does the photo lab open? 7am?

    I thinking same time as the club opens. 10am.
