Costco is cracking down on non-members using membership cards to shop at its stores.
The major wholesale retailer will soon require shoppers to scan their membership cards via scanning devices at the entrance of each store, Costco said in a news release.
Many Costco membership cards include a photo of the shopper, but for those that don’t, the store will require a valid photo ID along with the membership card. Those without a photo on their Costco membership card can also have a photo taken at the membership counter, according to the company.
The policy change will take effect “over the coming months,” Costco said in the release.
