There's a lady at the door of the Hacks Cross store in Memphis that is absolutely relentless about seeing and reading the values on membership cards as people enter the store. I feel sure that she used to be a living legend at the highway patrol before she retired and took this job.
Mine has always done this? You have to show your card to enter... And they do it at check out too
"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."
"The scanners also mean employees don’t need to ask customers for their membership cards at cash registers and self-checkout."
Look man - don't assume I can read. I'm like every other red blooded American that looks at a title and makes glaring assumptions and gives opinions that no one asked for. Okay?
I wonder if they will take Apple ID. I haven’t carried a drivers license since my state started using them a while back.
I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. I would love for my Costco card to be in my Apple Wallet and I would doubly love if they accepted my digital ID as I am in one of the 50 states that legally requires its acceptance.
The free shipping on the Sam’s plus destroys the Costco mail order services.
So a family can't bring their multiple kids and the grandparents to Costco? WTF?
Read the article, silly. This isn't about family members, it's about non-members flashing cards that don't belong to them. x3
No if the member is there most Costcos won't care. It helps them sell more anyways. This is people going by themselves with someone else's card.
I wonder if that brings changes to the membership tiers. I pay more for Executive membership to get 2% cashback, but if they will not scan my membership on the checkout how would they know how much I've spent?
