Did you hear that Walmart is raising their minimum wage to $11/hr? With that, they are also closing 63 Sam’s Club stores. This is coming as a shock to employees as they didn’t get any notice. Some just saw the note on the door that Sam’s club is closed today. That’s about 275 people being laid off PER STORE. You can read or watch the full story here.
If you have a membership they are offering a full refund of your membership, either as an e-gift card or a check. Or they will give you a free 3-month membership extension.
“To show you our sincere appreciation for your loyalty, we’d like to extend your membership for free so you can continue getting members-only pricing on things you love, things you need and all sorts of unexpected things on SamsClub.com and other Sam’s Club locations.
Please tell us how you’d like to proceed with your membership by March 31, 2018.”

Closing 63 Sams Clubs around the country lays off almost 10,000 employees. No notice to any of then either!
