They are indeed part of the same global organization but Sam's Club is a much better company by far than Walmart. They are both independent of each other. Sam's Club pays more, has better benefits, treats their employees better, has a much better employee retention rate, and tends to buy more American-made goods than Walmart. I know you see it as a "guilty by association" thing but honestly, from my own experience having worked at Walmart before and knowing several Sam's Club employees (all who have worked at this store since it opened over a decade ago and some longer than that for Sam's), I have no problems going to Sam's Club. Costco flat-out told our area that we were too poor to be deserving of a Costco store. They had no problems saying that in a news release: https://tinyurl.com/4baw44rt (wjhl.com) DD> My local ACE Hardware franchisee does an all-meat dog and 16 oz soft DD> drink for just a dollar - Saturdays only.

Having worked (too much) in the QSR industry both as staff and management, I can say good management deserves that but not the line workers. No work ethics, lazy, no manners, and my having to tell more than a few of my employees to take a shower has lead me to believe they deserve the low pay. Fast food, unless you get into upper management, has never been meant as a career. The same with retail, grocery, and similar areas. Of course there were a precious few exceptions along the way but they were too far and few between, sadly.
