Reports are coming in that automated card scanning machines have been seen at the Costco warehouse located near the company headquarters in Issaquah, WA.
Apparently, the top brass shop there are are concerned about the number of people using somebody’ else’s card and the amount of merchandise being stolen by people who sneak in on another person’s card and then walk out with products stuffed in their pockets, purses, etc. Testing the system near headquarters lets the big shot see first hand how things are working.
Also they noticed that people using another person’s card slow down the checkout process when they get called on it by the checkout staff. Apparently, there are no exceptions to the membership rules other than those required by state laws (access to the pharmacy, for example).
