    this is a full change in policy not a cracking down. before this you didn’t need to be a member to buy from the food court. I’ve done it many times, you just tell the card checker you’re going to the food court. one location near me has the food court outside the main building just so anyone could use it.

      Yup, they’ll probably have to add membership card scanner to food court and do exclusive self-order only on the touchscreens if they really want to “crack down” on this since you may still be allowed in if you say you’re going to the pharmacy.

      Been to a few Costco’s in US/Mexico with outside food courts too, so that would be about the only way, unless they build walls around them.

        The Scanners are the same for Credit Cards - it’s just a software change to make it required at the Food Scanners in the same way it’s required at the Checkout.

      This has been the case near me for awhile. Had to scan membership, and now it’s exclusively the self order kiosks that won’t let you order until you scan membership at my nearby costcos. There is no window ordering just pickup.

      I used to live near a Costco that would check membership cards even if you just wanted the food court. It’s the only one in the area that did that and it’s the worst one too.
