Better than Tennessee.  Evidently I was told bad information.  Wait
staff make $2.13 an hour which is the federal minimum wage for
waitstaff.

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:

That's a great deal.

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.
