As if I had any more reason to like Costco more than I already do: policy change rolling out where customers must scan their membership cards at the door<\/a> in order to enter, hopes that this cracks down on lax entrance policies for non-members; naturally this results in a lot of butt-hurt customers, most of which aren\u2019t actually members and are just full of piss and salt that they can no longer freeload their way into the exclusive membership warehouse without escort from an actual member<\/span><\/p>\n When I originally heard of this change coming up, I didn\u2019t think anything of it.\u00a0 Being a paying card-carrying member, I shouldn\u2019t have to give any thought about it, it\u2019s just a difference of scanning my card at the door instead of showing it to some human being hardly paying attention to photo on the physical card itself and whether or not it matched my face.<\/span><\/p>\n The only person I share the account with is mythical wife, and the one time she ever received any resistance for trying to use my Costco Visa, I simply had a secondary card issued in her name and photograph so that it wouldn\u2019t ever be an issue again in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n So back to the original point, the change of requirement to scan a card at the door doesn\u2019t affect my household one iota.\u00a0 As far as I\u2019m concerned, the only people it affects are grubby cheapskate non-paying non-members who have a family member or friend who probably has Costco credit cards, and have given their physical membership card to them, to where they\u2019ve been enjoying the benefits of a paid Costco membership without actually having to pay for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These are the motherfuckers who are all pissy and up in arms currently at the policy change, because their freeloading ways are going to come to an end the minute their preferred Costco runs out these scanners, and they\u2019ll be caught in the flesh when photograph on the screen doesn\u2019t match their own physical faces.<\/span><\/p>\n And to these cheap assholes I say, fuck you, good riddance.\u00a0 The membership fee is $65 a year, which is barely $5 a month.\u00a0 I probably gain that $5 a month back whenever I purchase bananas from Costco, seeing as how they seem to be able to justify 3-4 lbs of bananas for like $1.99 and everyone in my household loves bananas.\u00a0 If you\u2019re the type getting bent out of shape over $5 a month, you honestly probably shouldn\u2019t be shopping at Costco in the first place, seeing as how it\u2019s nigh impossible to get out of there without dropping $100 a visit, before I even consider getting my $1.50 hotdog and fountain drink.<\/span><\/p>\n But really, I hope that all these cheapskates denouncing Costco and claiming they won\u2019t ever come back, actually hold true to their words and don\u2019t bend the knee and drop their $65 a year to become members themselves.\u00a0 Costco trips are already crowded enough as it is, and I\u2019m really hoping that this culling of cheapskates will help thin the crowds out a little bit in the parking lot and in the store itself, to where I can go on a Sunday and not feel like I\u2019m on the cusp of being at Costco Shanghai at times, and I can have slightly reduced stress crowds the next time I go.<\/span><\/p>\n When the day is over, I have all the faith in the world that Costco is making the right choice; most everything else they do in the name of business seems to work out just fine for themselves, as well as often times aligns well with my own personal beliefs and ideologies.\u00a0 And cutting the fat of fat cheapskates from my in-store experiences is definitely something that I can get behind, and I tip my cap, once again, to Costco.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As if I had any more reason to like Costco more than I already do: policy change rolling out where customers must scan their membership cards at the door in order to enter, hopes that this cracks down on lax entrance policies for non-members;
