This was in upliftingnews but imo, they've been overcharging for years and now they're framing this as a feel good story (slrpnk.net)

Around here you scan your card for store entry; it's no longer just flashing the card at the door employee, and the last Costco I visited had a smaller side door open for returns and membership lines. No more entry through the exit.

That one has the food court inside the store and I haven't stopped recently so I'm not sure if you need to scan the card to place an order there; however the Costco by my work has an exterior food court and you cannot use the register to place an order without scanning your membership card. They don't take orders at the counter.

That's unfortunate. I kinda was chill with Costco's membership when it was easy to bypass. Still use their tire pumps shhh don't tell, hope they don't add card readers to them too :(
