A lot of folks have been throwing shade at Costco lately because they’re sick and tired of some of their policies and procedures.

And you’re about to see a video from another unsatisfied customer who’s had just about enough of the nonsense.

Hmmm…

Yeah, I don’t think anybody is going to stop going to Costco for this, but it’s definitely a little weird they’d check the cards at that point.
