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 swapped from Costco to BJ's at the My Pillow cancellation, years ago. BJ's never stopped carrying it. BJ's doesn't check you going in. Sure they don't have a loss-leader food court, but mine has an awesome deli and lets you use manufacturers coupons as well as their own. They have capital one Mastercard, ridiculously cheaper gas, and never bothered us about masks, unlike the screechers at commieville.
Besides BJ's, we found restaurant supply stores, over of which we go to regularly for non-gmo flour, prepper-size cans of non-gmo fruit, imported pepperoni and salami, and whole milk mozzarella. Our pizza skills are tippy-top now!
