I don't know the specific policy S&R has but Costco has the following: A free household card is available to a primary cardholder’s spouse, domestic partner or immediate family member over the age of 18 and living at the same address. You must only provide the householder member's details where you have their consent to do so. Household cardholders will be asked to present proof that they live at the same address as the primary cardholder.
Basically if S&R has similar policies as Costco, you should be able to obtain a secondary card that a member of your household can use, they just need to prove that you live in the same address. Did Melinda have a membership card and did she attempt to prove that you lived in the same address? If they didn't even give her the opportunity to do that then that's messed up, but if she didn't have a membership card when they asked for it then, sorry to say, its Melinda who messed up since she should have made sure she had the card with her just in case she did get stopped and asked for proof of membership.
Yes she had the card and tried showing she is my wife but they would not even listen and sent her away like some homeless person while others was just walking right in without even being checked. That household policy is a great idea.
@@TexasFilipino I don't know if this will work, but maybe take a photo in Melinda's phone with you and Melinda side by side holding your membership card and marriage certificate in front of the camera. If a guard stops Melinda she can show that photo in addition to your membership card. You may have to take a new photo every time you renew your membership though lol.
Gold membership is P700 for the first year. One extension CARD per household is available for P400 for the first year.
@@TexasFilipinoDid the card that she had have her name on it or your name? Your card is only for you. She has to have a card with her own name on it. From what I've read in the comments so far, she was trying to use your card to get in and that's not allowed. She needs her own card.
Very disappointing treatment of your wife, I'm glad you confronted the issue as you know Filipino find confrontation hard to handle but in time management will start to realise the customer is an important ingredient for a profitable store,and business 🤔🤗♥️
I had that experience one day, but with me. The membership is in Irenes name with her picture on the card. Irene and I were separated by more than a few people. I showed them the card and they stopped me and asked where is the owner of this card. I had to point her out and then they let me in. I believe if she had not been there, I would have been out of luck.
If I have to pay to go into any establishment…. There better be dancing girls . 😂😂😂
Hello guys. We shop at S&R in Dau, San Fernando and Subic. They check our card and the date on the back everytime. We shop there at least once a month.
James, even here in Costco or Sam’s Club, each member can bring another person without membership so long as the holder of the membership card is with them. It’s all about money, James. You should get Melinda her own membership card. That’s the company policy. That’s the way it is here in California.
I will just eliminate shopping there as I wont keep adding cost over cost to do business with them. Many stores like SM Supermarket are getting in the same products now without membership needed. even a small hole can sink a ship just a matter of time.
The same rules/policy here at Sam's & Costco in Irving, Dallas, Plano & probably the whole state of TX Membership card is required to shop or buy anything.
I have a costco membership in houston, texas and my wife is included with her own membership card at no additional cost..
I think it's 700 pesos for the primary and 300 or 400 for the secondary. You can also write a letter of authorization for someone to use your card. We do that sometimes to send someone to pickup a pizza.
Just show the card but keep going. the guards don't really look who is in the card. the employee could get fired if he know it's not Melinda's card but let her in.
S&R prices are not cheaper but it's possible to find products that are not available elsewhere
My wife and i had the same problem so i never went back and let my membership lapse. It was a real shame because some of the stuff i liked i could only get there. Thank you for sharing what happened to you guys too. God bless and stay safe.
We dropped our S&R membership because they have given us grief at times. Plus have dealt many times with uppity Filipinas. They seem to give attitude also with Filipinas with foreigner husbands. Sometimes they would ask for both our ID's when your supposed to be able to bring one guest. And they charge full membership each year with no break for renewal. The Cebu branch also has gone downhill on variety and prices have soared. We switched to Landers and its been better in every way. And they are opening a new Landers in Iloilo in 2024.
James, S & R seems to be an overseas Costco partner and they should've issued you and Melinda separate cards with the same membership number, even if you upgrade to the Executive membership, which is a few dollars more here at home. I wonder if my costco card would work there
They are a separate entity from Costco. They do have product purchase agreements with both Costco and Sam's.
Agree
I disagree with this one James, it right in their policy. Read what they have to say about immediate family members in the Gold membership section. Now, I think they could amend the policy to issue two cards under the membership for 1 price.
James they do the same thing up in AC,if I remember correctly the second card for the wife costs like 150P
We have been members of S & R for 5+ years. When we first signed up we were told it is NOT a family card. It is a member card and if my wife wants her own card to use by herself, we need to pay for her own.
They should fire the person who turned her away even when she showed her ID and that wasn't good enough?
Hi James! So sorry to hear what happened to your wife. I'm an American expat myself but in my case my husband is Filipino. We live in Angeles City and our S&R membership is in my husband's name. They told us we can buy one extension card per household for an additional 400 pesos. So yeah they don't allow a spouse to use the members card here either. I'd have to buy an extension if I want to go without my husband. I think even Landers is the same.
Hello my friend I have not had the experience there but we do not have membership for that store in the town. We live in when we are there visiting the family but here in the states, me and My Wife have our Costco card when we got our membership at Costco. I paid one time for the year and the lady said you want a card for you and your wife and we will take her picture and you both have the same card And the one membership price and I said of course that sounds good to us cause sometimes maybe she will come by herself that’s what they need to do one card for the family and I was told if I have a son or a daughter or any of my children that need to use the card they can as long as they have the same last name they can use My Wife and my card whenever they need to come to the store too so great video. Glad to see you guys. Always glad to see you guys are doing good. Take care always Scott from Chicago.
During the COVID days my wife & I visited S&R Imus. Only I The Member was allowed in , i never went & although being a member for 7 years I have never been back since
Make sure in that open-air market, the scale is set to zero with the empty weighing bowl first. Because You do not want to pay for the weight of the bowl. Plus the weight of what You are buying in kilos.
Some bowl weigh several kilograms, that You should not pay for. Or You are paying for air.
Hi James, I can't comment about S&R, but i used to work for Sam's Club when i was in college (in the early 90s). The policy there was the same. Each person was required to have a membership card to shop there (even if it was a husband and wife). The card holder could take a guest in, and the guest could even buy things, but they would have to pay cash for whatever they bought. They could not pay by check or credit card. Looking back at my life now, that was one of the most fun jobs that I ever had. I even got to meet the great Sam Walton twice when he was coming to Houston's MD Anderson Hospital for cancer treatments. Every time that he would come to town he would tour some of the local Sam's Clubs and shake hands with employees. The company really declined when he died and the family took over Walmart/Sam's Club. Sorry for that trip down memory lane...
Unfortunately it's common in Phil for Filipinos to become grandiose when given a bit of power. It is one of the most elitist societies in the world. I have never heard anyone belittle the poor more than wealthy Filipinos. SAD!!!
Membership cost 700 pesos,,I have one for my wife, and that’s that. Only thing is they should have said to get a card for herself…Not being allowed into the store was dead wrong…
That is correct
On that day, Melinda didn't have her "white" badge. Two days later, you guys could have tested if she will be turned away again with just by showing your card (without you) and then a few minutes later walked in with her and see to test if the reception would be different. Melinda was flat out discriminated in her own country!
Those security guards should be brief with the policy thoroughly! One’s spouse’s ID on hand is a solid proof of legality of entry. I also saw other people, not asked with S&R card upon entering.. whoaa!
James, same here in Dau (Clark/Angeles city). Made both of us (wife/Husband) get separate cards. It's about the money (for sure)....It may be that only one person from a married couples household needs a card, but they sure don't advertise that. Same thing happened at S & R and Landers here.
I cant comment on s&r but the landers in bacolod let me use my gfs uncles card because I left the store and returned while he was still in the store, but they didnt even look at the card I just flashed it and walked in. Could of been because I was the only foreigner in the store who knows. I did hear they are supposed to build a landers in iloilo, if so you might want to check it out.
even thoiugh i dont like many veggies i used to love to go to the market when we are in leyte ..so many different kinds of fruits and veggies and fish ..all fresh and sometimes the fish and shrimp are still squirming and floppin about
Great post....S&R definitely needs to treat memberships as per immediate household. We shop at the S&R in Lipa and have not had any problems....
I always buy Kerrygold, non salted. Pay extra for it imported from Ireland. Sure enough skim milk is listed second. I checked the less expensive Kroger brand, unsalted, pure cream milk. Good information.
I didn't know that about Kerry gold i always buy the salted ... Hopefully y'all can get thing resolved...
Same policy at Sam’s and Costco
Can you get an extra card for her under your membership without additional cost? I don't know how they operate there but at Costco you can add an extra card to your membership at no extra cost.
Never shop at stores with "membership".
James ....you sure handled it the right way. Some lower level staff get over zealious. Hope all issues resolve and life is a tad better. Blessings
I started the carnivore "adventure" October 2023. I feel so much better, and my weight is under control. Carnivore, also known as the Lion Diet, and elimination diet. Best thing I've ever done. cheers
S&R lost their contract for Aussie & NZ grass fed beef, they told me the beef they carry now is not confimed as grass fed, the only place i have found it now is at Rustins, they will grind it on the spot 80/20 90/10 or whatever way you want it , they do not set it out in large qty, you tell the butcher what your looking for and they will do it your way. plus no membership needed. good luck
I dont know of a Rustins here in Iloilo . Never heard of it.
You should check out organic coconut oil for cooking and butter replacement. I'm living in the province, and it's very difficult to keep my carnivore lifestyle. Pork and chicken are king here. I'll be checking my next trip to Legaspi for beef, fingers crossed. 💥👊💥
IT HAPPENS HERE SOMETIMES AT SAMS BJS AND COSTCO And these places with a membership comes 2 cards with two different names in your household at one time they had your picture on the card also 🇺🇸 and sometimes with no membership the freeloaders come in there and walk around when they have the free samples and just eat the free food 🇺🇸
Along those lines, at a Prince Store in Sindangan the security would not allow me to enter with my cap so I removed it, still could not enter, I had to hang it outside. I explained to him I had a cap (retired Army type) stolen and was not about to hang my hat on a rack in front of the store. Still I could not enter because the policy was no headgear. I pointed out 2 muslin women ahead of me with their head covered, it was like talking to a fence post. I call double standards and don't shop there anymore, not that they care.
I agree totally...years ago they ad the same policy at the 'Duty Free'
Sorry.. fat fingers, hehe
Anyway at Clark the policy was in place bcuz of rampant shoplifting. Went there once and never went back...most of the local big stores in Cabanatuan still do this until now
Love your down to earth vids mate. I remember when I was 29 my first Asian gf flew to be with me and not used to the west. We lived near a major shopping centre and she liked window shopping etc. So, I asked her to get me a pack of smokes and some extra money to spend on herself as I was tired from morning shift work that afternoon.
Well... what an afternoon that turned out to be she barged through the front door in tears and said to me they refused to sell her a pack of smokes due to her looking under age. She was 30! So, I asked her if she had her I.D. (passport) on her and she said no. So, I asked her to describe the person she said a big man like you and a ring in nose... I also kind of tried to at least calm her down as she was in such a state... I said "Hey, if they thought you were underage to buy smokes you should take that as a compliment, you're 30 sweety". Nope, really upset... Was a warning sign for later but I was still in twenties : p
Ssoooo I asked her for her passport, raced down there and yeah, big guy like me , younger with a nose ring... we had a chat mainly about " Do YOU really think she looks under18 mate?" And he was shaking toward the end of convo because that's what racist bullies do when they experience real fear. I also mentioned security can't be everywhere after his shift finished and he is causing me time and tiredness unfairly for my next overnight shift.I also made him write an apology to her on the back of thenreceipt for the smokes I had to buy.
Crazy event but magic moments there and I learned that as an Aussie we can be a bit gruff with asians, not neccessarily racist.
She never had a problem again getting smokes but always had her passport on her. She also knew I was serious husband material haha... Never did it again though and doing that these days would probably get you messed up even if you did win...
Edit:
I hope your wife is ok and yeah... odd policies in stores that are halfbaked suck.
With keto, thesteakandbutter girl also advises women to eat guevere? French cheese, really accentuates feminine features 😮 I think she p4oved it in measurements and stufff. Anyway, just a tip for filipinas that might want to try that though they are the most gorgeous femininity on earth 👍😇
Probably just a new guard fresh out of the mountains.
No he has been there for awhile
Hurray! I stand with you! I had a bad experience too 15 years ago but in Quezon city, n I never patronize S& R from then on. Just imagine those years I spent more than 5k in that store!
Costco clamped down on who uses cards, they want their money for additional memberships. Sam's club doesn't bother so far, I use my brother's card.
We loved that pastrami too we took a bunch to the fish pond and mays uncle loved it when we left for canada i gave him 2 packs of it He loved it 😊
In the last 3 weeks, I bought close to P100k of merchandise at S&R. Each time I would give my card to a family member to take my shopping through the cash with no problem while I went & sat down. Well the last time I was there my card had expired 2 days earlier. The cashier refused to ring up my cart full of items, I could see the other cashiers who overheard me talking with the gentleman cashier snickering. I asked him point blank, what do you want to me do, leave the cart full of items right there & walk out the door? I was about to do just that when the cashier at the neighboring station finally piped up suggested to him that he could renew my card right there on the spot, so that is what he did after about 5 minutes. I told the kid with a straight face, I am a senior citizen, do you know what that means. I am old, cantankerous & have no patience, handle it or I walk, now. lol. I also bought a package of Turkey breast (I don't think a whole Turkey would fit into my convection/microwave appliance), but could not find any Turkey stuffing or gravy. I am pleased that most of the samples they give out at S&R aren't full of Sesame, unlike Costco back in my home country. Just sayin
I'll start off with " I'm not an expert" but as far as I know In the USA I believe Costco has the same policy as each member has to have a membership. For that very reason I never got a S&R card. I at time travel to the USA for 2-3 months for contract work and leave my wife to take care of the house and shopping.. If S&R will allow one membership per household I would become a member. I will have to go ask ..
It would be interesting to know what the exact policy states concerning this matter. I am sure it is in writing on the membership's terms and agreements, but I could be wrong. I have shopped at a S&R there in the Philippines and was only asked if I have a membership card at the time of checkout. I tell my employees all the time that we follow written policies, not feelings or anything else for that matter.
That’s why I shop at Landers never any issues
Oh my goodness!
I'm so sorry both of you experienced that. :(
Filipinos use the senior/pwd parking spots as loading spots at Landers. On top of that they only have 2 senior/pwd spots. As far as needing the original card holder well it’s just good business, forcing two people to shop and spend far more than one. Nice looking ribeyes! I’ve heard S&R has far better selection than Landers, thanks for showing us. You jumped to the street market, I thought it was outside the front door of S&R, you know Filipino style, lol.
The policy should and must restrict sharing of membership use outside a single family home. That are not members.
I agree, a husband and wife should be able to use the membership, with proof of last name.
It must single out misuse of membership.
The person that prevented Your wife from entering, most likely has done this many times in the past. And he must be retrained or fired. Only to prevent dishonest use of a membership card.
The abuse of false authority.
If this were not taken of properly. I would boycott that store and share how it was dealt with. But! seeing how the manager dealt with the situation, this should be forgivable.
This store really needs to have a review of the store membership policy. TO ONLY ALLOW ACTUAL MEMBERS, NOT NON-MEMBERS TO USE THIS STORE.
If I was the OWNER of that store, I would make sure this standard is held to it's highest. To ONLY allow members only.
At some miniscule level, it is stealing from actual paid members.
Costco and all these business that have memberships will have a primary cardholder and a secondary cardholder needs to be placed on it. The name needs to be on that account. Why is it a big deal? Just add her on the account.
The same BS here in Australia with Costco - its a dumb idea this so called membership shopping crap!!! I feel you pain girl!! its an American concept - personally I find it insulting you have to pay to spend money. I can not speak for there - but here the Costco Australia discounts are not that much better than main supermarkets if you shop wiser.
Melinda don't get upset Cosco has similar policies ask for secondary card. It's understood why you get upset but they're doing their job. Have a nice day guys.
Well, I just wanted to know, we all see Melinda has a green thumb and I noticed she appeared to be picking out some little red onions at the veggie market...I have to wonder if she couldn't grow onions in the yard ??? ...God bless you both...🤔❤️🙏
Onions garlic and peppers
I started a carnivore but not 100 % diet last week and i have lost 10 lbs so far
They do this in the USA 🇺🇸 at Costco which is S&R in the Philippines 🇵🇭 it also depends on the person working the door just get a card in her name
When I and the wife first got our S&R membership we both would go in at different times with no problem that's sad they did that to her.
Hi James S&R are correct unless you are the card holder then you can get turned away.
In our case only I have member ship.
In my view the security are correct. Bad luck on the day they ask for the card. And she is not a member.
I just walk In also. I have actually pulled out my card and they have seen me do it and don’t even look to see who’s picture or if it’s expired.
Hey James, is where you live considered a province?
I don’t understand what the problem is when I renew my Costco card I ask for additional cards for family members, wife daughter no problem. Since 2003
Sorry but it makes total sense that they denied you entry. Otherwise everyone would buy one membership card and loan it out to others. Friends, family members. In the Philippines I can just imagine people "renting" out their card to others for a profit. What would be the point of a "membership club" if it were not only for the use of the members
Stand for something or fall for anything is the motto. Only spend where you are wanted but treated well. Common sense has become uncommon and now policies trumps the real I can’t understand it nor will I try. Let’s hope they do right and get make things better!!!!
AMEN MY FRIEND
Hope all is well where your at right now. Enjoy
@@TexasFilipino at moms house in Tennessee all is well indeed
In Germany it was the same regarding access to the wholesale membership operations...
There was one we used to frequent called Metro I believe...
Only for business owners and you had to bring your company docs to get a card (also pay for the card)...
Being Germany they checked VERY carefully but wives could get in with their card...
The names of all authorized members were in their system...
So only myself and wife could access and we did have two cards...
No extra charge for the second card, but as I recall the savings were significant so no matter if we would have had to pay...
But the system they're using in your case definitely could use some German input haha...
One standard, take care of customers, and training on how to check folks before they get in...
Not hard, but unless discipline and a standard operating procedure is in place, there will be abuses on sides of customers and employees...

Garden reflects Mel's green thumb I think...👍
Love puttering in the garden, almost as good as a cold beer haha...😉
The grill shot reminds me of a vlogger demo of a high capacity smoker he unboxed the other day...
I think there's a market for good quality smokers there?
Thinking ahead, I want to ship one over the next USA trip...
Love me some smoked pork butts, spareribs, steamship round (beef), and fish (all kinds)...
Ok, back to work here. No rest for the weary!!!
🙏🙏🙏
👍😎👍
Sam's in US had employees at frt door use to be like that even if u had where the card holder they wanted to see other I'd
Hi James and Melinda and family. I'm a born and raised Texan from SE TX living in Galveston County. What part of Texas are y'all in?
I been thinking about going on that same diet when I get there. I was wondering if you could do a budget video on what it cost. I've always heard meat is expensive in the Philippines.
Good vlog James. Wish I had yr patience to wait 2 days. That’s the way to do it. Hope the manager follows through with her commitment. I see real cheese and burger mince - I’m sold - it’s off to S & R for me this Sat. Lucky my partner is a member!! 😋. Thanks for the heads up on the butter too. Grill on! 🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩
Here in Iowa at the membership stores we have the choice to add additional family to the card .
To me it sounds like your wife was profiled. I'm only in the Philippines 2 months a year. My wife and I use my sisters card to shop at S&R. My wife and I are of Chinese decent. I honestly don't think we have ever been carded at the door. Maybe their policy has changed but I was under the impression you don't even need a membership to shop there... non member will just be charged an additional 5% at checkout.
I need to follow your example and take a couple days to let things cool off. I'm surprised by some of the comments below, you made it very clear that excluding her was a mistake according to the manager, and that the single card should have been enough. Maybe it would have helped if there was a way she could demonstrate that in fact she is married to you. If she has a driver's license with the same name and address for example.
Why do you need a membership in the first place? Would they not earn more if the store would be accessible to everyone?
If you eat a lot of lean meat ( like chicken) eating an avocado is great for you. It will help keep keto flew at bay. Sorry for my spelling, I’m dislexick.
Thanks and good tips. I eat fatty meat. I have no keto flu issues after the first time. Doing so great. Love them alvacados
You been from Texas I’m curious if you have just a regular barbecue or if you have some type of smoker there
They are cracking down at all membership locations including in the U.S. My brother is extremely successful and spends a ton at Costco on both his household and on friends and family. They stopped us twice in one visit asking for proof of membership! Getting ridiculous, you obviously have to provide membership to check out but business is business!
I’m an American from Tennesse and they stopped me my Asawa and our son in Davao city because I was not member and I wanted to inquire and look are to see if I would like to get membership but they denied us access so we have never been back why would you get membership with our seeing or finding out information on what’s all the perks?? That was in December of 2020
Again I guess this is along the same lines. At Globe in Sindangan I signed up, did all the paperwork, when it came time to pay, the price was more than posted so of course I questioned the salesman ( I think he was a man). His answer and I quote, we charge foreigners more, I swear! I try to be polite but only to a point. This is discrimination at the highest level. My wife went back later, signed up for the service at the posted rate, welcome to the Philippines I guess.
Well handled, James. I probably would have stormed down there, but waiting 2 days let cool heads prevail. Costco has been checking pictures on id's for 6 months now, but one membership and 2 cards permitted.
Way to go Costco is part owner of those stores. In America when we walk into Sam's Club here on Florida my Filipina wife always shows my ID and no problems
We had to buy membership for my wife and myself at both sam's club and costco. Their policy, their store.
My wife and I have both been to S&R in both Naga and Manila and we have never been asked for ID etcetera and we don't have a S&R card
I truly don’t understand why they just don’t issue both spouses cards. It’s honestly that simple. I personally have not been to that store. I can only tell you, my Filipinos has that Mexican temper so she can be hotheaded at times and me myself I’m brutally honest and in the Philippines people consider that being rude so a lot of times I just let her handle things because I know myself I don’t like to see people getting bullied or abused
That Anchor salted butter you are eating from New Zealand. I can tell you it is legit. I have been eating it since childhood. It has a great reputation.
What does it feel like in your stomach?
@@tryscience Feels normal. Fine.
@@will_274 not like an Anchor? ⚓ Heehehhe
Yes they do that Costco has been cracking down on that lately but also my husband is white I am partial native so I look darker and even in USA west coast I am treated very differently when I go to the store without my husband if I did not have a card I know I would be turned away by most and we have been going to our Costco for 14 years
Thanks for sharing!!
Looks like you guys are going to push into an individual treatment at the local S&R. The S&R here in Angeles has the same policy. The picture on the card kinda gives you the indication that it is NOT a family (or Household Card). Really sorry for Belinda getting embarrassed at the front door. Go ahead and pay the additional funds and get her a card James. Hope it doesn’t crush your budget! 😅 Just kidding.
Meanwhile everyone else was walking in without even being checked at all. I wont pay double on cards while I am already paying almost double inside. Just stop shopping there. SM Mall has almost all the same stuff now without the membership
I personally think they are going to try to double charge you memberships in the future. Credit cards and bank accounts will give you a spousal card, why cant these big box shopping centers do the same?
We also had a very similar experience at s&r there in iloilo. My wife is also a darker skin Filipino. she went shopping with the kids the lady at the door would not let my wife in. even had the audacity to tell her that she needs to bring her boss next time to do the shopping. My wife was extremely upset and said this is my husband and I am not the yaya. Next time we went and I made sure to hold her hand. There's still a huge discrimination in this country against darker skin Filipino.
THAT IS EXACTLY HOW MELINDA FEELS , She said she could tell they was being racist to her and treating her like a broke person from the mountains or a ya ya.
@@TexasFilipino just wait for Landers once that's open I'm not going to do any shopping at SNR
It's the same in applying for a job. They favor applicants with fair light skin.
That's fupped up
Sorry about what happened to your wife Melinda! She’s right, its shitty policy. The fact of the matter is, its a lot simpler than policy, its actually some form of discrimination (of our own people)!! Its shameful!!
When we went there, they said it's better for us to have a card for both, so that's what we did.
NICE!!!!
What about paying the extra 13 USD a year (700 PHP) and get a Membership for your wife ? Cards are non-transferable as clearly stated on the membership policy.
Actually the Extension Gold Membership is 400 so that's 7 USD. Pathetic
Gday James n Mel that's a ridiculous policy I'm sure they will fix this, have a great day guys take care 🇵🇭🇦🇺🤙🏽
Soon Landers will establish a branch there. they will have a new competitor.
👍👍👍👍
Butterball turkey after Thanksgiving in Aldis, Tom Thumb. .99 cents a lb. 😊 ive purchased Butterball years ago when i was there for Thanksgiving, it was the equivalent of $50 for a 13lb. Turkey. 🤯
James, have you seen tallow at any of the stores there? I was also curious if you were buying ground beef, or do you have a meat grinder at the house? 69 days and counting before i have to readjust to a Kano/Filipino mindset, after a 10year absence. Thanks again for your insightful content! Ingat!😁
Its a dumb policy specially when it involves spouses. Spouses shoukd be able to use one membership card.
We are returning to our place in Guimaras soon, we have experienced this type behavior before. I may offend some but many times we see almost tribal behavior that I believe is what has kept the Philippines from uniting even in the government as they divide themselves.
My wife on more than one occasion has been treated like a Provincial girl, so to speak, my wife says because she's darker completion. I have to add my wife is educated and speaks multiple languages very well. So I think it's an appearance judgemental situation.
I recently had a friend tell me about ceylon cinnamon. Its suppose to be good for your memory/ immune system u might do a little reading on it. Take care thanks for the vids
Went to s&r in manila with my wife they did not check anything.her card or nothing
Melinda should get her own card. I’m the primary member on the card then my husband is the secondary he got his card too.
