Full Service Check-in Required

In a move that has angered many loyal Costco members, the warehouse chain has announced that it will now require a membership to use its pay-at-the-pump gas stations. The new policy, which went into effect on March 16, requires all customers to scan their membership card before they can activate the pump. This is a change from the previous policy, which allowed non-members to use the pay-at-the-pump stations by paying a surcharge.

Costco says the new policy is necessary to deter non-members from using its gas stations. The company says that non-members have been taking advantage of the lower gas prices at Costco, which are typically lower than those at other gas stations. Costco also says that the new policy will help to reduce wait times at its gas stations.

However, many Costco members are unhappy with the new policy. They say that it is an inconvenience and that it takes away one of the benefits of being a Costco member. Some members have even threatened to cancel their memberships in protest.

It remains to be seen whether Costco will reverse its decision on the new policy. However, for now, it appears that Costco members will have to get used to scanning their membership card before they can fill up their tanks.
