Costco store brand products also tend to be better quality in comparison.
Sam's leaves Costco in the dust when it comes to products selection and variety. Costco often will have a grand total of 2 options for some products, i.e. 1 store brand and 1 mainstream brand.
I also have both memberships and rarely go to Costco. Scan&Go might change my mind if Costco's dinosaur IT folks ever implement that.

It is much faster than Costco trying to quickly count all the items in the cart and looking at the receipt to see if anything is missing.
I have both. In fact, I only had Sams until they closed the local club. Now, the closest one is half an hour away. I'm the type of going into the club to buy milk, bread and bananas once or twice a week.
Eventually I got a Costco membership mostly because of the cash back on travel (cruises mostly) which more than pay for the executive membership. So can continue going in/out for milk, bread and bananas.
I pushed the Sams membership after I got it extended for a couple of years after they closed the local one. Then jumped on a couple of better-than-free memberships and the last one was plus. In the last year, I only made up to cover the difference with plus, but consider extending the membership for another year, unless I find a free or better than free promo like the last few years.
Love scan and go and the ability to know the in store prices with the app (which 99% of the time are the same as online for shipping) - in fact, I compare prices when at Costco. They are usually higher at Costco unless they're on sale. But if Sams puts the item on sale, they win. This is for brand name products.
No idea why Sam's waste time checking ID for curbside. If I can manage to hack somebody's App to place an order and check in, I can also add myself as a pick up person.
.......or just go in and do Scan n Go, which they don't even bother checking if the membership belongs to you.
(... actually criminals can just walk out a full shopping cart and they can't stop you anyways...)
same with Home Depot curbside....
Sams really doesn't check memberships - when you pay, you need to supply a valid one. So even if you are using someone else's, you are still paying for the items. In fact, I see a lot of people at terminals and very few usage of scan-n-go. I always wondered why, but the main reason is the sharing of the membership with others. All you need is to scan the barcode of "a valid membership" - after that, you just pay.
Costco on the other hand is like the Gestapo. Attempt to go in without a valid membership or use someone else's and you'll be sent to Siberia for life.
They claim they make the bulk of profits from membership fees. I think Sams doesn't care about that it seems, and instead only cares about selling.
That said, Sams associates are treated like crap, compared with Costco.
But we do find things at Sam's that Costco doesn't have and there's always much less people than Costco.

About 4 months ago my guest bedroom now needs to be a nursery and I have no need for the ghost bed. I thought about selling it for a couple hundred dollars on FB Marketplace just to get it out of my house (not many people buy used mattresses rightfully so). Then I looked it up and saw Costco has a 100% satisfactory guarantee. I simply renewed my membership, requested a refund within seconds of renewing. They not only refunded me my entire $1700 plus tax but they sent a third party dumpster company to pickup the mattress for me so i didn't even have to move it. A++++ Customer Service.
