OK so thank you all for contradicting Rouge.

Scan and Go is great. I swear 75% of the people in line give me dirty looks like I'm stealing when I roll past them without "checking out".

Business Class membership is worth it at Sam's Club.


Me, parents and brother have a business membership- the cash back pays for the renewal every year. Totally worth it for Scan & Go.

Those things more than make up for the membership
Plus the 3% on gas with their credit card. All of that cash back pays for my yearly membership so I essentially get that for free.

Walmart has better gas deals and CC rewards so I make up for the Walmart Plus membership that way

The free shipping both offer is great, too

The line at self checkout is always a breeze,


Is that a joke? Their employees run the self check out, they should be working a register.

How much savings value do you get for the $60?

Costco has had scan and go for some time.


Scan and Go is not self checkout.

Only about 30 of the ~650 US stores have scan and go as it’s a pilot only program and they have been running the pilot for less than a year.

Every few years my dad remembers I have a card that's added to his membership and he will invoice me for it.


I have cards for both, Sams and Costco, don’t pay for either. Will buy gas every now and then.

You can also order anything at the cafe through scan and go to skip that line.

They just call out your name when ready.

Maybe a hidden secret/maybe not, but their hot fudge sundae with two brownies mixed in is pretty awesome.

Honestly you will be in the black if you only bought toilet paper and paper towels at sams. So much cheaper than the grocery store.

I'll never understand why they don't use it.

I go on Sunday morning as soon as Sams opens and I still use Scan and Go because fricking waiting in any line or the cashier.

Costco keeps costs low by ensuring their shrinkage is in check. I doubt they will ever go to a "scan with your personal phone, check out on your phone, and leave" model. There are too many low-lifes that would ruin the program. The best CostCo can do right now is have their employee scan everything in your cart while you wait to get to the cashier.
