I'm guessing a vast majority are people who are just using a family member or friends card. I doubt there are a lot of people with no card trying to make it through. Sams club doesnt really care about a family member using the card but Costco generates 4.2 billion from membership fees.
COSTCO supposedly is cracking down on card abuse.
We were in the OKC location early today and didn't find out until we were almost done shopping that their heaters weren't working. We generally go in the evening, so we attributed the empty bakery tables and complete lack of roasted chicken activity to be due to them just opening, but apparently they had no gas to run any of that. It was cold enough that my hands were hurting by the time we checked out.
I`m not an HVAC person but such a huge building only has one set of heatets/controls?
Any chance the OKC store will get sushi? :P
Anyone notice the Costco in Moore eliminated the scan gun from self checkout? What an awful idea. Took me way longer to check out.
I'd love to see the report on that, got a link? How does scanning it with a scan gun or dragging it across a scanner change anything? They still check the receipt on exit and count items.
Sam's Club is killing Costco in the user experience with Scan and Go plus the new AI receipt check. Impressed.
I amend my response* It looks like only some costcos ever had the scan gun. In most places each self checkout has a person with a scan gun that does it for you real quick. The one in Moore just had the one worker for 6 self checkout lanes. Lot of people waiting around for them to help with large items.

He stole from Sams, but same idea.
Speaking of customer experience, I do love Sam's club's curbside pickup. If you buy the same items all the time, its just so much quicker to order online and then be able to just pull up and get your items rather then walk the store even with the scanning options. Ok i am older and I would have a learning curve on that. Just not having to go in the store is such a plus. I wish Costco had that option. I would understand having to buy the higher priced membership and if they had a min amount like $50 or $75. I dont like the delivery option. I would not get up to the dry goods or the freezer. I get maybe a $100 of mixed items at one time. Also the option for older folks not having to try to walk the store. I've had to ask them to get an employee to get my items when my knees started to hurt. I cannot do one of the sitting carts. Its stinks when standing hurts less then sitting.
Every time this thread gets bumped to the top I think there's going to be a Costco in Yukon. Ugh.
