BJ's Wholesale Club offers reasonable prices on items in big quantities, like bread, chips, eggs, and peanut butter, with good sales. However, the store forces all customers through self-checkout, which can be difficult with large items and often requires waiting for employee assistance, leading to long lines. Some find the store layout confusing and different from other locations, and the gas station setup is described as terrible. Customers should also be aware of third-party reps inside. For convenience, BJ's offers a designated shopping hour for members age 60+ on weekdays and for first responders on Sundays.
