What's to say? It's a warehouse store, they have massive quantities of everything and anything you can think of from electronics to food. You don't need a membership to actually purchase anything, though you do have to use the customer service checkout line if that is the case. You also will probably pay slightly higher than if you had a membership, but still comes in handy if you aren't ready to commit to being a paid member. Prices are generally on par with other warehouse stores and relatively inexpensive. I believe the workers are paid slightly better than places like Walmart too, and the staff here are always much more bubbly and happy than most of the other big name stores, so I happily shop here over crapmart any day.

In the week it took to get the funds released I went 2x to both walmart and then visionworks and 12+ Hours on the phone between insurance company, then vision works, and back and forth. Lesson learned next time go to...
Read moreWas clean and stocked. Only complaint I have is the women my mother and I dealt with believe her name was sue. Very rude. My mother renewed her membership apparently according to her it wouldnt process for 24 hrs which she told us AFTER we tried to check out. She was very rude in regards to having to use their card to check us out because my mothers renewal wouldn't process for 24hrs had we known we would be treated that way the membership wouldn't have been renewed at all!!! One person ruins it for a whole family and campground that my mother runs where we go and GET EVERYTHING is gonna be...
