Christmas tree trunk split - and of course toppled at midnight

How did the guy at the door know you didn't have your own card?

I would just go straight to self checkout
they have scanners now at the front door before you are allowed to walk in. No longer just some person vaguely looking at a card you flash... but regardless... Costco is stupid crazy with the way they handle the membership... but whatever it seems to work because people put up with being harassed by Costco employees for cards or not standing in the right spot or waiting outside....
