Good evening this is India West and I would like to file a complaint against ************** over and ****** Station **********************, ******** and Im complaining because on October 7, ********************************************************** their store on register five days later October 14, 2024 all my *** benefits were taken off of my card. I filed a Dispute because the transactions that were made were in another state one was the Bronx or ********, ******** the others were ********, ******** and the reason how I found out is because I went to Costcos Whole Foods store to try to purchase food with my card and found out that all my benefits were taken off my card and the only place that I used my card was at BJs Whole Foods store. I have been sent an emails over to the company explaining to them what happened and everybody is basically ignoring the fact that this was a fraudulent activity that someone use a card reader in their store to steal my snap benefits off of my card and I would like to file this complaint of fraudulent activity theft from BJs, Whole Foods store and ************************, ******** ****** station Court and I would like compensation of my money that I had to spend of $350. I also would like to have this investigated because someone in the store is using a card reader on their machines and I very much would like for this to be investigated and everything return to me and I know I found the dispute with the company to get my benefits restored, but this hasnt had anything to do with the fact that someone is doing something fraudulent to people that is bringing harm stolen identity theft anything that doesnt belong to you is not yours. I think its wrong that these employees or someone in the store has done this. This was an inside job that someone in the store is using a card reader on the registers and getting peoples identification and theyre using their funding in different states. I will send over documentation as needed.Business response

I am incredibly frustrated with the night manager, ***, at Club 11 on October 25, 2024, at 5:36 PM. *** refused to assist me and dismissed my questions about my transactions while I was self-checking out. As a member for over 24 years, I have never been treated this poorly! I was forced to have my entire bill refunded and reprocessed with all the coupons that couldn't be applied at self-checkout. I was advised to go to customer service for help, and thankfully, the representative there was kind and assisted me with the issue.Over the years, whenever I needed help at the self-checkout, staff or managers would usually step in without question. I don't understand why *** chose to dismiss my inquiries, especially when the self-checkout area was relatively empty. I plan to contact every level of management, from corporate to the head store manager. I can only imagine how many other customers have faced similar treatment from ***. It's unfortunate that some individuals, like her, appear to lack the appropriate skills to work in a public-facing environment like BJ's.Business response

Over the last 3 weeks, I went into BJs Wholesale Club to do a shop and delivery for *********. A couple of times, BJs didnt have an item on the shelf, but I saw it up on a riser on a pallet and would need a forklift to get it down. It was just 1 item I needed. Figured I could get the item and they could stock the shelf in case others needed that merchandise. Anyway, I was told on several occasions that BJs couldnt get the item for me because they dont operate the forklift during business hours and only at night after store closes. However, yesterday on Tuesday, 10/22/2024, I was in BJs and not once, but twice I saw a forklift being operated while the business was opened. Once over by the area of ******** items and then again over by customer service. I have added an image of a forklift seen behind self-checkout being used on the floor during business hours.Business response

Date of purchase: 10/20/2024 Amount of purchase (with tax) $212.69 Bought Apple airpods, opened the box at home and saw the case was off the hinge then saw earwax in the AirPods. Immediately went back to let BJs know and they said sorry cant do anything because the serial #s dont match. I told them well you sold these to me like this, they said sorry go to *****. I drove to ***** yesterday, which is over an hour drive for me and they told me these AirPods are fake. I then called customer care and the gentleman told me to go back to the store I purchased these from and talk to the manager. The manager told me he is not going to exchange these and made me feel as if I was the one who put these FAKE AirPods in the box! Why would I have spent 5 hours calling customer care, ************************* to ***** all for an AirPods purchase.The ***** employee stated that the stickers used to seal the box on this product are easy to purchase and easy to re-use.Whether it was an employee from BJs, from ***** or **** or the ***** employee at the warehouse all I know is this IS not MY problem.

I went to BJ optical to get my eyes checked. The doctor was not in person but virtual. They ended up overcorrecting my reading, which lead to severe headache. I ended up using my old glasses . I spent money on check up and glasses . But when I reached back they mentioned I have missed the complain deadline. Now I have to go to another place, spend money on testing and glasses.Business response

On Saturday October 19th I received a call from the **************************. It appears there is fraudulent activity on my BJs membership card. I was advised that someone with my membership card was making fraudulent returns. Salem PD had everything on video and stated that this occurred at 6pm on October 19th in the ******** store.On Sunday, October 20th at 8:30am I went to the ******** store and asked the customer service rep ******* if my (and my husbands) card was reprinted. I was told Yes, on July 12th our membership cards were reprinted but I was not advised which location. I asked ***** how they were reprinted without proper identification and ***** confirmed that he always askes for identification but if the customer complains about providing identification that BJs will reprint regardless. ***** called for his manager who also came to the Service Desk and she also confirmed that they will reprint cards without *********************************** is NOT protecting my privacy and now I am facing possible criminal charges. The first ******* told me that they were going to issue a bench warrant for my arrest. I am in the mid 50's, have never been arrested in my life, I own a home and I am a VP for a Fidelity owned company. I was absolutely shocked at hearing this. I spent my morning at the police station trying to clear my name.BJs has no right to print off a membership without confirming my identify. I am now facing a potential identity theft and criminal charges. I know I will be cleared because its obviously not me but how can this be allowed with all the issues nowadays with stolen identity and fraud?

I Purchased an outdoor furniture set in May of 2022 from BJ's. It was for our new home. We did not move into the new home until September of ********************************************************************************************** the basement for the winter. We then used it from May-September in 2023 and 2024. At the end of this summer I noticed that the backs of all of the pieces (2 chairs and a couch) were all disintegrating and breaking. A short while after I noticed the arms were doing the same. Looking at the damage, I didn't think it could be fixed so I contacted BJ;s September 19th asking what could be done. I didn't think a set should have so much damage after just 2 *******. The set cost about $1300. I received an email back stating they would get back to me. Well it is now October 18th and I still don't have an answer. They kept giving me the run around about we will get back to you, please be patient, we've escalated the issue...etc. They asked me for my phone number as all of this was through email but no one got back to me. I just want some compensation and to stop being given the run around. I felt as though I was patient as they asked me to wait. The last email I received they asked me to wait 3 more business day and that they would get back to me. So when that came and went I sent them one more email saying if i hadn't heard anything by the end of this week, I would be filing a complaint with the BBB. I received nothing so here we are. I don't think it is acceptable to not have an answer regarding an issue with their product that literally disintegrated for over a month. I'm not sure if they were hoping I would just stop emailing? I would like compensation from BJ's.Business response
