My family and I have been Costco members for over 10 years. Within the past few years Costco has become ridiculous with the rules they have been imposing. The fact that we MUST show/prove our membership before entering the warehouse is absolutely insane otherwise they prevent you from entering. Why??? When NO ONE cannot checkout WITHOUT a member card!!! Also the fast that my husband and I live in the same household, are married and my husband cannot pay using his CC all while I am standing right next to him. About $700 worth of stuff we left there at the register given that I did not take my CC given that my husband and I were shopping that day together. Costco makes you feel like we are entering homeland security or the White house that such security needs to be put in place over just members shopping. Because this has only gotten more ridiculous and I feel will continue, I have cancelled my membership and I got 8 family households to do the same. We are now BJ's members as well as Sam's club. Since Costco is nothing but seeking greed at this point, I will continue to have members end their membership until Costco goes back to the Costco we knew it to be, that cared about their customers and our experience. Costco is not giving anything for free, we still pay for what we shop and the membership and should not feel like Costco is the state penitentiary that controls us!!!
