Members at some of Costco Wholesale’s Canadian locations will be subject to its test of membership card scanners at the entrances at stores in Ottawa, Edmonton, Regina, and the B.C. Lower Mainland in a pilot that will test the approach at only a handful of its more than 100 stores across Canada.
Currently, there are greeters who verify that visitors have valid membership cards. Customers at participating stores will need to scan their card before entering and visitors must be accompanied by a valid member for entry into the store.
