well I never knew that. my wife took my card (I don’t like to shop at big box stores and gave it to our son.) But I have gone to the food court on occasion not knowing the rules and thus without a card. Since the food courts are open, I thought anyone could eat their.
People assume I have a Costco membership. I don’t like have to pay for the privilege of shopping someplace.
All it’ll take is one loudmouth Karen’iqua to shut down their members only policy….
this has been making the rounds for months,
I have not seen any changes at my local costco, but I have no problems with it.
if you can keep the rif-raf and high school students out great.
on the other hand Costco has no excuse for not bringing back the combo pizza.
Hey Costco! Bring back the combo pizza Please Please pretty Please.
Such racist. Such privilege.
Sam’s doesn’t have lines. Costco is a cluster getting in and out let alone the lines.
Sam’s club will not let anyone in without showing a card. I like that.
Normal working folks can’t afford McDonald’s new super- high prices —- especially not with families.
(And Costco hotdogs are GOOD, too!)
The Costco food court is a huge bargain - Costco seems to be glad to take a loss on the food it sells there, based on the assumption that you’ll be doing some shopping in the store. And the hot dogs and pizza are quite decent - I’d much rather pay $2 for a Costco hotdog and a drink than $7 for a Five Guys hotdog.
I thought a member could bring a guest to buy anything.
My wife has membership, I have not gone there in probably over a decade so I am confused here.
Our Costco’s are full of welfare folks. They bring all of their kids and grand parents, and a person should forget about trying to get a sample.
When I was a kid, you had to be 10 years old to even go into the Commissary with my parents.
One of the few good things about Covid lockdowns was Costco limited a visit to 2 people per family.
I was one of the first members when Costco consisted on a single store in Silverdale WA. Back then it was not open to the public - only to farmers, loggers, police, and commercial fishermen.
It went down hill some years later when it opened up to nurses - prices rose sharply and taxes were put on everything. Shortly after that it was followed by admitting the general public. Now Costco is just a crowded big box store.
Costco’s a pretty good store. And a membership will work at any Costco store in the world.
The food at my local Costco is outside, so no membership card required. Over the past 2 years it has become ridiculously crowded. The hotdogs are big enough that you can split one between 2 children. Same with the huge pizza slices. It’s a magnet for poor folks, many illegals. A lot of members aren’t willing to fight the crowds, wait 20 minutes for a hotdog, and not have a table to eat it at.
It would be easy to enforce “members only” by requiring a card swipe before ordering, just like at the gas pumps and checkout line.
The friend with the card will pay out problem solved sounds stupid
What’s next? Scan your card to get a free sample from the sample ladies?
