COSTCO offering membership refunds to firearm owners.

[Mono1]

I'm really surprised you would admit that?

Don't get excited, @Mikej I didn't say which Costco.....

Even better...

Saves billion$ on that pesky recidivism problem... Works as a deterrent to that up-and-coming crowd of dindoos, too... It's a win-win!!!

Until I enlarged it I was expecting a scene from Soilent Green. You know, there is a food shortage coming once they get this cattle thing going... Nah.

If it helps reduce shoplifting it is not bogus.

Exactly. Costco is far better than other retailers at minimizing shrinkage.

How Costco is winning the war against rising retail theft

Retailers like Walmart and Target have raised alarms about losses due to shoplifting. But Costco appears largely immune to the trend.

Private property. Their property, their rules. I got no beef with that.
On the other hand, making me show proof for MY private property which I just bought before I can walk out their door, that's bogus.

Phoenix Walmarts also check receipts, unless you've got white privilege...

Easier for them to do, as its a membership store. Membership card is required to enter...

I don't know if it's still a thing? But senior citizens were at one time one of the largest group of shop lifters.

Without a doubt. Not just junkies either. I would contend a lot are people that are just sick of the crap/inflation and have abandoned their scruples too.

All I can say is I'm glad prior generations of Americans did not easily scrap their values due to the hard times they experienced. And by the same token, it deeply saddens me to see how our generation(s) are responding so basely.

It makes me glad I'm the age I am. The way the human condition is changing I get some comfort in the fact I won't be here in +/- 30 years.

Despair, good Sir... At the rate medical science is improving and advancing you might have 50 more good years!

Take a stand, you don't really need five pounds of frozen shrimp.


Costco does not believe that it is necessary for firearms to be brought into its warehouse stores, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers. For the protection of all our members and employees, we feel this is a reasonable and prudent precaution to ensure a pleasant shopping experience and safe workplace. Our policy is meant to protect our members and employees in all warehouses around the world. This is not a new policy and we do not customize the policy for each individual city/county/state/country where we do business.

Our primary goal at Costco Wholesale is to keep our members happy. If you believe that our policy restricting members from bringing firearms into our warehouse stores is either unfair or excessively burdensome, or you cannot agree to abide by this policy, or you are dissatisfied for any other reason, Costco will promptly refund your annual membership fee in full.

What Costco doesn't know won't hurt them. Don't ask or don't tell policy especially if you have a concealed license. I surely don't announce when I walk into a business but I tell you what the membership card taker that are usually eetirement age is not going to stop a mad person doing harm. And I would be there to protect myself or others. Now if they decide to do metal detectors like a courthouse then I will terminate membership

Oh my. The way things are progressing with my aging body? Not just no thanks, but NO THANKS!

Especially those from "Warshington" state lol jk

Tell them they are Racist that will shut them up.

No idea, however such was probably less likely at Costco. Given how they sell, bulk vs small packages.

Small items are normally sold via a ticket system, and then attained at sale. IIRC. I remember them doing such with memory cards, when memory cards were quite pricey. On the shelf to put in your cart were just cardboard with the description & barcode.

Things like pricey meat cuts & such at Costco are larger than those sold in normal grocery stores. Always have been. So would be more challenging to steal as well.

And the TVs and safes are still tickets. Or you tell the cashier which one you want.

If you're concealed carrying no one should know you have a gun. Hence why you should not disarm in schools or anywhere guns aren't allowed. How would they know either way? They'll be glad it's there in the even it's needed.

What you are suggesting is against the law. In other words you are suggesting that we become criminals. What makes you think that you would not be prosecuted, even if your use of force was undisputedly justified and in the eyes of some you were a hero? I do not have a problem ignoring signs that lack a legal enforcement provision. But schools and post offices are different.

Schools are State law, post office is federal law.
