Sam's Club Gas Station in Columbia is now for Members only, with pump prices always showing the Member discount. The gas is often priced well and is usually the lowest in the immediate area, though it is not always the absolute cheapest around. The primary flaw is its location and the resulting traffic situation, which many describe as a nightmare. Traffic flow is awful, especially after 10 a.m., with the street often backed up because people block the road waiting to pull in. This creates a safety issue and chaos. Many reviewers suggest going early in the morning to beat the chaos. There is criticism that the problem is not handled well by employees, with painted direction arrows never enforced and no one directing traffic to the pumps. The design leads to congestion, with people pulling in behind and in front of others trying to exit. Some feel the station should be relocated away from the busy intersections for better flow.
Other than people not knowing how a one way lane works it's a great place to get gas a little cheaper...

Receipt not working pump handle broken. Just generally poor condition.

Price is not always the cheapest around. Several times Kroger was cheaper with my shoppers discount. The location is the worst because people will block the road to wait to get a turn at the pump. Ignorance is bliss and there’s a lot of happy people out there
