I just found out today that Joe had passed. I am so sorry for your lost. He usually has music playing and it makes the time go by faster when you have to wait a long time. Well this morning is was really quiet and I asked where Joe was. Sam's Club will never be the same. I think the music should play (always and not just on the weekends) in rememberace of JOSEPH ROBERT NELSON. Look out Costco you might have a new shopper.
