Why does Costco check your receipts at the door?

When rights are taken away they are very rarely returned. It is in your best interest to maintain the rights you have.

Either way, I'm legally in the clear. If you want to discuss slippery slope of giving away your rights we can start a new thread.

So, start at Costco to preserve your rights. Don't give an inch. Got it.

NO, not again! :rofl
 
No because I willingly signed Costco's agreement to show my receipt. If they made me sign a waiver before shopping at Best Buy I'd seriously have to consider if I wanted to shop there that badly.

you don't even need a membership to shop at Costco.

If you use a Costco cash card (ie gift card) you can shop at Costco without a membership.

It's absolutely true. And no, you don't have to get a cash card to do it either.

After about like the third erminder in a thread on BARF about Costco and NO membership, I went and did et.

  • walked in by a guy checking people out, I guess for a membership. Didn't tell me nothin
  • found my way to the hard likka. Finding was part of the experience.
  • Asked a guy.. shopping.. for where the beer is. Found that too. He WAS actually uncertain of the location, just as I was, but pointed me in a good direction!
  • Got the beer.
  • Went to the cashier. What's your membership #? No, just getting alcohol.
  • Okay, did you get an escort from the door?
  • no i dident.
  • next time you should so that they lead you to the alcohol section and escort you back. : |
  • :dunno
  • Paid with cash, that is NOT with a cash or gift card.
  • :ride
  • A lady of at least one generation before me was holding the door hostage. I refused to show her the receipt, imaging battle scenes with Paul Revere and Game of Thrones.
  • She said "No, I have to, Ko...". So I showed her the receipt...

  • It was a great sunny day and the experience was good enough although I am leaving one technicality out. The parking lot was full...
  • .. and some driving doodah honked loud right next to me in the parking lot while I was walking. Then, jumped out behind my back and started to "about get into a fight" with the dude in the opposite lane who simply wanted to go around a doubleparked car. The first one actually said to the second one "you got a problem, pal?" :rolleyes

You should make a movie
 
Went to Target on Black Friday for Draino and mouthwash. :laughing

Door checker stood in front of me and asked for my receipt. I politely said, "No, thank you, have a good night!" And walked around her. No drama.

WTF is the escort for? To make sure you don't try to buy something else besides alcohol?

Fairly certain that it is to prevent non-members from partaking in free food samples, and the amazing hot dog and soda deal.

My local Costco changed that policy. I haven't had a membership in years but I'd drop in once or twice a year for a hotdog when I was at the Home Depot next door. Last time they asked for a membership card.
 
I had to let my membership expire. I was prone to the costco effect of buying shit I didn't need. Go in for a bag of jumbo shrimp and walk out with a superzoom compact camera and a new garmin gps plus $50 in razor blades.
Screw costco and they're money grabbing trickery :thumbdown
