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.

With the tools available now, you should be able to stay on the platform

Now, if I could just get my "mature users" to move over to the browser...
They would rather press 3 Fn keys, field exit and F5 than click a button

to

release an order. 😊

Like many others Pete, Costco have been attempting to move off the
platform to one degree or another for 12+ years. Like most others, it
hasn't worked that well so far as I can tell.

I wonder if the interface you saw is mostly a skin? Certainly, in my

local

store, the green screen is front and center as always.
