Bad news if you’re mooching off of someone else’s Costco membership: The retail giant is cracking down.
When you enter Costco, you need to show your membership card to an employee to shop. Costco membership cards are non-transferable, but the company allows members to give a second household card to one other person in their home. Anyone with a card can bring up to two guests to the club during each visit, the company stipulates.
But Costco has noticed that non-members have been sneaking in with membership cards that don’t belong to them — particularly since Costco expanded self-checkout.
Costco recently started asking for shoppers’ membership cards along with a photo ID at the self-checkout registers, the same policy as regular checkout lanes, to crack down. “We don’t feel it’s right that non-members receive the same benefits and pricing as our members,” Costco said in announcing the change.
And now, Costco is testing out a system that requires members to scan their membership cards at the store entrance — instead of just flashing the card to employees. Shoppers have spotted the new scanners at a store in Washington State and posted photos on Reddit.
They sure did. The damn company was founded by my grandfather’s generation. How much shit are you gonna talk out your ass today?
Where I come from, you don’t count money in front of people, and you just told me how young you are. You wouldn’t remember things like this being an active insult.
Turns out you think everyone had kids at the same ages. You’ve just reiterated how foolish you are. Just stop jumping to conclusions. Talking down to someone because you think you are older than them is also a sign of desperation.
To assume just aging somehow makes your opinions right. All you did is not die. Congrats. The news is full of wrong people older than us.
