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?
I get their perspective- Costco makes money off their memberships. I enjoy the benefits of that membership, but this feels invasive to me. I see it also as a slippery slope when the world is now trending to be more invasive.
