You got in! Only time I tried to get in Sam's Club, we were eating at a China Buffet next door and the wife and mother in law left us, I wasn't done eating. The in-laws have a small wholesale bakery and use to have a Sam's Club card. They wouldn't let me in! I tried to tell them my wife was in there, they didn't care, "you need to have a membership card". I tried to get in the exit when people came out, security stopped me! Me and the brother in-law had to wait in the parking lot, that was ten years ago, maybe they let everybody in now?
We had to pay for a membership.
