text: This was not my first trip To Sams but it may be my last nnFirst I was treated to a circus in the parking lot carts My God the carts Second just moments after entering I was accosted by the DirecTV guy for the th time I do not want DirecTV Then came the barrage of carneylike sample pushers Would you like to smell this roach spray Would you like try these horribly disgusting liquid vitamins Remember when it used to be fun to get free samples nnThe next assault came at the checkout Do you know about our membership plus Guess what I do not want it Do you want the extended warranty on the fan you are buying Membership plus automatically extends the warranty Guess again I still do not want it Would you like to buy the two year extended warranty for just Dear God in heaven can I please just pay and get the heck out of this store Would you like to save on future purchases by applying for the Sams Club MasterCard I am going to have to start pretending I do not speak English so these people will leave me the hell alone nnDesperate to launch one last salvo against my sanity before leaving I had to wait in an unreasonably long line so an unpleasant woman could scribble on my receipt with a green marker and wave me along like so much cattle She literally said keep it moving and waived me toward the door with that smug palmup half wave tour guides use to keep you on the path I would have complied had it not been for the gauntlet of abandoned carts between me and the door including one of the motorized variety which had stalled directly in my path nnI have always preferred Sams Club to Costco where I also have a membership because it is less busy and generally less of a hassle However if they are going to make it this much work for me to shop there count me out
