Sam's Club

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sam’s Club, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would park his truck near the gas pumps and leave an empty crate on the ground. Then he’d walk inside without a word. Minutes later, a regular customer would emerge from the store with the crate under his arm—always wearing the same old hat—and start pushing it down the aisles. Nobody knew who they were or why they did it, but everyone agreed: something strange was going on. Finally, one day someone followed the mysterious figure into the store. They saw him approach the deli counter, ask for a dozen eggs, pay cash, then carefully place them in the crate. As he walked out, neighbors waved hello, noticing his familiar old hat. Turns out, it was just Grandpa Joe, retired since last Tuesday.

2. At Sam’s Club, whenever a new family moved into the neighborhood, their little dog would always dash towards the gas pumps. No matter how many times they tried to stop him, he’d sniff something peculiar and bark excitedly. One day, an old delivery driver noticed the dog’s antics and decided to follow him. Turned out, every time the pup approached the pumps, he was chasing after a particularly fast caterpillar crawling up one of the posts. From then on, whenever anyone asked why dogs acted strangely around gas stations, everyone just smiled and said, ‘Ask Sam’s Club’s little friend.’

3. At Sam’s Club, late every night after closing, an unseen hand rearranges the toilet paper displays just so. One night, a delivery driver noticed that the toilet paper was always perfectly aligned when he arrived early in the morning. Curious, he stayed longer one evening and watched as a friendly ghostly figure gently straightened each roll with a quiet hum. The next day, he told everyone, and soon Sam’s Club became known for its polite, invisible janitor.

4. At Sam’s Club, one day a regular overheard a cashier whispering, ‘This is why our scanner always rings twice for bananas.’ Curious, the regular asked what she meant. The cashier leaned closer and whispered back, ‘Bananas are cheaper than scanning them separately.’ A delivery driver overhearing laughed and said, “That explains why I always get free bananas!” And so, at Sam’s Club, everyone got their groceries—and some extra bananas—for less.
