Membership Scanning at Costco's Door? A New Shopping Experience on the Horizon

[Seattle Times] Costco is testing a new policy that requires shoppers to scan their membership cards before entering the warehouse, potentially changing the shopping experience. The test, observed at a Washington location, involves scanning the card at the entrance, aiming to prevent membership-card sharing and streamline checkouts. While some Reddit users approve of the efficiency, others express concerns about potential long lines. This follows Costco's previous crackdown on membership-card sharing, which sparked frustration among customers.
