They are responding to a post specifically talking about self checkouts and the loophole that exists solely with them…
How does this need to be explained? Lmfao.
At the self checkout, the cost to return all the merchandise to the shelves costs money, to let them go through the the till is profit instead of a loss. This doesn’t exist in regular checkouts since you need to scan, at the self checkouts you don’t, so people try and abuse it.
I was literally taking what the person I responded to a little further and this tripped you guys up? Fucking hell this place is weird to have conversations on.
These sort of threads are an excellent example of how the bottom half of the intelligence curve has invaded the internet.
They clearly do not know what they are talking about and will defend their ignorance by projecting it onto those with knowledge.
I blame too much positivity. Stupid people are no longer forced to internalize their stupidity because polite society has giving everyone the benefits of the doubt while the reality is there as many stupid people today as any other time in society.
Access to knowledge isn’t the issue. Some people are just inherently stupid and we need to stop pretending otherwise for the good of all.
It’s literally not more profit for them, especially depending on what the person is buying. Costco is able to offer lower prices than a lot of other places specifically because the memberships help make up for what would otherwise be losses on margins
Everybody knows you need a membership to shop there so why would these people (or anyone else for that matter) buy one if you let them shop and make purchases without it?
I think it might be even simpler: add membership fee to the purchase and tell them that they can finalize the process of creating a new card at the membership desk.
Makes more profit to let them through than to refuse them at that point.
Also, let them through and they may get a membership for next time, refuse them and they are never coming back.
They don’t need their business, and no one at Costco wants them in the store.
Then what stops anyone from just never getting a membership?
I’m talking specifically about the self checkout loophole that only came when they made self checkouts….?
Was that not obvious from responding to someone taking about that same thing?
The person you responded to does not mention self checkouts fyi

What’s the loophole? You still have to scan your membership card in self checkout. Or is it using someone else?
When you look at Costco earnings, almost all of their net profit is the membership fees.
