I don’t like this new thing they implemented at Costco - at least, the stores in the Denver area.
The new thing: scan card, it shows your picture from the membership card and indicates if your membership is active.
This is to ensure people gaining entry to the store have an active membership and/or are not borrowing someone’s membership card.
I declined and worked something out with the manager. We are thinking of canceling our membership.
Is this in place at all Costco stores nationwide? How are you handling it?
Oh, I completely recognize this. So why do they need to do it? And what this one more thing to be compliant about? Just not interested.
Costco is a private membership shopping club. YOU agreed to abide by their rules when YOU joined., They made a new rule. You have the ability to quit. I did when they wanted me to wear a mask. I didn’t shop there while the rule was in effect. You too can quit. Why don’t you to support your position and quit then. Have you actually asked them if they are using what you say they are? I did...
I asked them what the published privacy policy was regarding what they do with this data - there isn’t one.
I didn’t go to Costco when masks were mandated. And at my regular grocery I didn’t wear one.
I totally understand that I’m poking at something insignificant compared to the data they collect from my card usage. It is just that “one more thing”… a little bit here, a little bit there…
Fair enough. Keep on poking...
