Yeah, I was checked on Monday, called my by my name and everything...it was a tire guy, so thought he was just doing it to keep himself entertained. But sounds like a new policy based on others posts.Quote:

Eh, when i first graduated college and was living with buddies we used a Coscto card found on the ground with a picture of an older black lady on it. We were called out on it many times, but the cashiers just made us pay in cash. No biggie.Quote:

At my local they just look to see you have a card to get in, they don't actually look at it. I don't even have to get it out of my wallet.Quote:

Nope, I went to self checkout. They had two guys in nicer clothes standing with a wheeled cart and two laptops checking cards.Quote:

They have never looked at my card on the way in the 25+ years I've been going there. Just flashing it or pulling it part way out is enough. Same for the people in front of and behind me. Because they check to make sure the card is valid before you can complete your purchase. But, ever since COVID started they have you hold it up from a distance so they can scan the barcode. They don't actually touch it.Quote:

Was at costco today. No change from normal. Flash card on the way in. Card gets scanned at checkout. Receipt gets checked on the way out.
Card has been scanned at checkout since early covid or earlier, can't recall. Late last year they started requiring card scan at the food court as well.
Local Costco bakery makes a mean Works Bagel at a fair price. Except they are not sliced.
Extra points when slathered with honey smoked salmon spread.
Was doing my yearly costco run yesterday with my family and they said they implemented the new card checking policy last Thursday, so it is definitely a thing.
I was at Costco yesterday and nothing beyond the usual flash the badge at the entrance. I separately bought glasses, food, and a hot dog. No picture scrutiny. I use a Costco visa card, so maybe I get special dispensation.
Good luck.Attachment 462854

Do they have a system where your digital picture shows up on their screen? Are they looking at the actual card -- which has an indecipherable pic -- or at the digital version which presumably is clearer?
the closest costco in PG couldn't make the bakery pay cuz they made stuff mandated by head office that nobody wanted to buy so they hire a local baker who said he could make money. Except they wouldn't listen so baker bro was down the road and i would assume the bakery still loses moneyQuote:

They actually got a decent picture on mine. They only looked at the card but did have laptops there with a barcode scanner plugged in. Probably just for Nick.Quote:

Yes, I like pepper on my food.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d9b41c6662.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2ec9bfe9aa.jpg
