As Costco has installed more self-checkout lanes, the retailer said, it has noticed that non-member shoppers have been using membership cards that do not belong to them.
“We don’t feel it’s right that nonmembers receive the same benefits and pricing as our members,” Costco said in an emailed statement. “As we already ask for the membership card at checkout, we are now asking to see their membership card with their photo at our self-service checkout registers.”
During spot checks of Costco clubs in Rockwall and Dallas, employees were asking shoppers for their photo IDs, such as driver’s licenses.
