Shady. I bought a case of white claw because there was a sign for a $5 rebate. When I got my receipt it was not itemized. The older guy at checkout (the only employee I saw) said he could not give me an itemized receipt. I told him they should not have a sign up for a rebate that customers cannot get (rebates require an itemized receipt). He said he is not in charge of signs. I tried to explain again. He did not care whatsoever, just kept saying he was not in charge of signs. No offer to relay the information to management or make this right otherwise. Then I checked my total. $91 for the items. $113.41 total after tax and 3% card fee ($3.30) I was not warned about. $19 in taxes seems high for taxes (note that 3 of the boxes are non-alcoholic), but clearly nobody at the store cares, and I can't prove it to anyone else because again, they don't give itemized receipts. I didn't bother and go back in. It is a holiday weekend and there was a line. Just go somewhere else. You will never know if you are being charged correctly and their attitude tells you everything you need to know.

Why post that you are open until 9 pm when the doors are locked at 8:45 pm and the employee is driving away at 8:50 pm? This has happened multiple times in the last two months. This store has gone downhill with the new ownership. The selection is much worse and the hours posted as being open clearly don’t matter.
Zero star rating! I live in West View and go to West View Plaza regularly. I went here back in April 2020, right when COVID-19 cases were starting to rise but before masks were mandated. The guy ringing me out (pictured now in the white and green shirt) made fun of me for wearing a mask. Then and there I resolved not to shop at Sams again. Time passed on and I thought maybe I shouldn't boycott an entire business due to one, possibly temporary employee. So I went back there today (August 14, 2020) after doing some food shopping, and there's this same guy again (white and green shirt). Not wearing a mask as soon as I walk in the door. Several other customers were in the store as well. I was livid. I watched him ring out other customers without putting a mask on or even the bandana around his neck. I tired to get a picture of him doing so, but I think he saw me and backed out of my view behind a display with a wide grin on his face. I eventually caught him off guard and got the picture attached to this review. (There's another older guy not wearing his mask either). I left without buying anything. I guarantee that this guy (white and green shirt) would have said something to me if I bought something. He obviously has no care or regard for the health and safety of customers, people in general, the law, and clearly gets off on watching other people notice him not wearing a mask. Regardless of his position on the companies totem pole, this place should be shut down as it is clearly a company wide promotion to not wear a mask. I will be contacting the Pennsylvania state governors office immediately after submitting this review and spread the word far and wide to not shop here.
Great variety. Love the clearance section.
Their specialty is vintage beer…as in, they consistently keep beers canned a year ago on their shelves. Done wasting my money here.
