Sounds like you're a CostCo member so you'd need to scan your card. What I was saying is that non-members can enter the store, obviously without a member card, if they state they are picking up a prescription. They just wave me in and I hold up my prescription bag with the receipt stapled to it on my way out. I don't even need to stop.

Yes, I joined back when they were Price Club in San Diego (pre-Costco) days so back since the late '80's.

Our store recently changed to requiring a scanned membership card for ANY entry into the store, even for pharmacy needs. I believe Costco announced this would be instituted in all stores but I don't know on what timeline.

Thank you all for explaining

I have never heard of this kind of verification and it is good to know.

I also think that it is the most probable explanation of the photos in question.

LinkedIn uses a service called CLEAR to verify your identity in order to become a verified user. You have to take a selfie and then take a phone of a government issued ID and they compare the selfie to the ID to see if you are who your ID says you are.

That's interesting and kinda hard to believe since it's stated differently on CostCo's site and I've never had an issue. Are you a NON-member that tried to gain entry and was turned away? Because I don't have a membership and can waltz in using the magic word "Pharmacy".

Do I need a membership to purchase prescription drugs?

Keeping this to the case at hand... Did BK want to be seen on camera as being out and about and acting normal the day of the murders, and wanted to appear normal?
