Some shoppers are buying Costco’s $4.99 rotisserie chickens and paying at self-checkout. The problem: They aren’t all members.
Since Costco has expanded self-checkout, the company has noticed that non-members have been sneaking in to use membership cards that don’t belong to them. The warehouse club retailer will now ask for shoppers’ membership cards along with a photo ID to use the self-checkout registers – the same policy as regular checkout lanes.
“We don’t feel it’s right that nonmembers receive the same benefits and pricing as our members,” Costco said in a statement.
Costco has around 120 million members, making it one of the largest membership clubs in the world.
