fhamann Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I live in Orange, California. For several months I noticed when I buy a case of 24 Kern's Nectar (11.5 oz Al can) at Sams Club, the CRV (deposit) is $2.40, or 10 cents per can. Every other drink I buy at Sams the CRV charge is 5 cents. Sams charges 5 cents for every other drink in 12 oz cans, 16 oz Monster, 20 oz Gatorade etc, etc. I have asked the checkout clerk several times why they charge 10 cents for Kerns. They do not know why and nothing changes. This has happened at more than one Sams I have been to. Can anyone on this forum explain why Sams charges 10 cents for Kerns CRV instead of 5 cents?

orsd Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Should not be happening. CA is 5 cents for under 25.4 oz, 10 cents for over that. No distinction for different drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Typical response from Sam's Club management. They can't do anything on their own. We used to order products to pick up the next day only to find that we couldn't get what we saw was in stock because the SKU changed overnight and they wouldn't sell it under the old SKU. They made us reorder it and wait another day to get what they had all along. Asinine management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoom Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 They probably have it coded as being a product sold in a 10 cent CRV state like Oregon or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTVFC Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Try contacting Sam's corporate customer service over the phone. You may (or may not) reach someone who has a clue. Or, contact the CA Dept of revenue and report them for overcharging CRV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhamann Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 Sams still charges 10 cents per can California CRV for Kerns Variety pack. It should only be 5 cents per can. I have mentioned this issue to the store every time I buy a case. They say they cannot do anything about this obvious error in their computer. I called a number on Sams web page. The guy said he would open a "help ticket" and send me a $50 gift certificate for my troubles. Lets see if this problem gets solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crv program is administered by CalRecycle. They may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus Corax Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I guess the figure the weather is so nice, they can do whatever they want and patrons will accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhamann Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 I bought another case of Kerns today. Sams Club has made the correction. CRV is now 5 cents like it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
