“Were I the store manager I’d have revoked her membership on the spot and refunded her fee to her with a request that she never return.”
The one thing about that is the store has a responsibility to be prudent about their checking procedure. If they are slow and cumbersome then a person has the right to simply leave. The store may ask they not return but a smart person would have already made that decision never to return to such a ridiculous place. I don’t shop Cosco, Sams or any other such places due to the products not being all that great nor the prices so low as to warrant the ridiculous procedures they use.
We use it to add to our supply of bulk staples for the coming hard times. It's hard to beat their prices on those items.
And we've always had excellent service at our local store. Believe me we've also seen Divas like this woman who consider them selves far too important to follow the regular, well posted, and agreed upon procedures. As I said in my first reply to you I think part of the Membership Agreement should be that other shoppers be allowed to administer a righteous beat down to people who act like this.
