Unless Sams is just really convenient for you.

I shop at all three, depends on needs.
--Walmart offers two-day free shipping on a bunch of stuff. If I need 80 lbs of cat litter, it sure is nice to order on Mon and have Mr. UPS drop it at the front door on Wed.
--Sam's has a few specialty items I use in volume for business purposes that are priced a few pennies above wholesale. So I gotta schlep over there every month or two.
--Costco offers a more pleasant in-store experience, plus overall better quality brands and items. I can get decent cheese, imported rosemary ham, organic boneless chicken thighs, value-priced salmon, etc.....things simply not sold by Sam's or WM.

I hate going in a Walmart.
I like Costco more than Sams by a wide margin

Walmart is a shite show... I’m not dealing with that to save $10-$20 on wall mart brand crap.

Costco and Alexander’s are where we shop.

We bulk at Costco, non-bulk at Walmart, and get weekly produce at Rouse's. The only two that are of comparison are Costco and Sam's.

Costco.

Doesn't make me feel like I am shopping at a bargain bin store.

Depends on what you need/want. Eliminate Walmart.

Costco has a much larger selection of "high end" stuff and organic foods. Their wine selection is much better. Costco definitely feels "nicer" inside.

Sams club has a greater variety of stuff. It's basically just larger versions of the normal stuff you'd find in your grocery store. They have a decent wine selection as well but not Costco level.

They are both good stores and offer great value if you shop smart.

Y'all must have some shitty Walmarts in your area.
My local Walmart (San Antonio) is very nice.

Doesn't Costco and Sams sell US prime? Or is I just one of them?

Wal Mart and Sams have the worst customer service. For that reason I say Costco
