Sam's Club Gas Station is a popular destination for members seeking discounted fuel and convenient shopping. Despite its popularity, the gas station and the overall store experience can be a mixed bag. The gas station itself offers great prices for members, but can get extremely crowded at times, requiring customers to plan their visits carefully to avoid the busiest hours. The Scan and Go feature, however, is a real time-saver, allowing members to quickly complete their transactions at the pump without the hassle of swiping cards. Inside the store, the Scan and Go option is also praised for its ability to bypass long lines at checkout. However, the overall shopping experience can be challenging, with a poorly lit and disorganized parking lot, and slow-moving employees who seem to lack morale or leadership. The aisle signage could also use improvement, leaving customers to wander aimlessly in search of specific products. While the store offers a wide selection of tempting items, customers often struggle to stick to their shopping lists, succumbing to impulse purchases. Additionally, some visitors have reported unpleasant odors within the store, which can be off-putting. Overall, Sam's Club Gas Station provides a convenient and cost-effective option for members, but the crowded conditions, organizational challenges, and occasional cleanliness concerns may detract from an otherwise positive experience.
Line moves fast and gas is usually less expensive, though sometimes Safeway next door beats it. Sam's Club, unlike Costco, is seriously affordable. It may be worth it if you shop there, too and not just get gas.

I always prefer Sam’s Club gas over Costco. I have a membership at both, but seem to like Sam’s Club gas better.

Queue can be long based on the time of the day but move quickly. Can easily connect to the pump with your mobile phone app and pay for Gas. Price is the cheapest in the Catonsville area.
