Yeah, I still prefer the overall experience from Costco. More crowded, I'll only use the regular checkout, but even with long lines they get you out FAST. They also never adopted that stupid hand scanner at the door, because they actually treat their employees decently and trust them enough to be able to visually verify, and oh boy is that a lot faster than Sam's method.

But Sam's did nail the self checkout. I've not tried the app to scan as you go and pay automatically because I'm not interested in putting an app on my phone for every company I do business with
