Sam's Club p-card process (only for Ames store)

When you enter the store, go to the customer service desk and tell them you are with Iowa State University and need to use ISU's membership card. The employee should get the membership card and take it to one of the cashiers' stations. Once you have finished shopping, you should go that cashier to complete your transaction with your p-card.
