Costco has just started cracking down on non-members using others' membership cards.
Costco customer Elizabeth Pagan thinks that the new policy of cracking down on non-members using others' membership cards is unfair. Other Costco customers shopping in East Harlem also shared the same sentiment.
The retailer revealed it will tighten its membership polices in response to its self-service checkout expansion. A Costco membership costs $60 a year. Costco says that it's an important source of revenue, and it helps them give their customers deep discounts. "They have very tight margins at wholesale clubs, also offering us amazing prices. So a big part of their income is from these cards, these memberships." Bodge said.
