Re: Costco still on IBM i?

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wish sams club would update their public app to be like their internal
app.  I go in, can't find something and say "where's xyz?  App says it's in
stock."  They look at their app and it says the location (like every other
app... Walmart, Home Depot, etc... exact isle location).  I always say "why
don't they put that on the app we use?  Then I wouldn't have to bug you!"
haha.. they just laugh.
