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?
FYI you can say you're not a member when you go in and you are only there to buy alcohol.
Stores are not allowed to sell alcohol to members only due to liquor laws. This works at Costco, Sam's Club and others.
Then you can use your card regularly at checkout (or not at all If you are buying only alcohol, it just needs a supervisor approval) thereby skipping the facial scan.
Oooooo, thank you!
