Kiss ubiquitous free samples and $1.50 hot dog combos goodbye because Costco’s putting the hammer down on your days of suckling off your friend’s membership.
Costco will soon require people to scan their membership cards in order to enter a warehouse store.
According to the company’s website.
“Over the coming months, membership scanning devices will be used at the entrance door of your local warehouse. Once deployed, prior to entering, all members must scan their physical or digital membership card by placing the barcode or QR Code against the scanner.
Guests must also be accompanied by a valid member for entry.
If you have any questions or concerns, there will always be an attendant at the door to assist you!
If your membership is inactive, or expired, or you would like to sign up for a new membership, the attendant will ask that you stop by the membership counter prior to entering the warehouse to shop.
Additionally, if your membership card does not have a photo, please be prepared to show your valid photo ID. We encourage you to stop by the membership counter to have a photo taken to have on your card.”
