      This used to be more true than it is now. More centers are requiring folks to enter through the main entrance and scan a membership card to enter.

      Not all locations, but more are moving this direction. The two nearest me did within the last year.

        Massachusetts costcos are required to allow liquor sales to the general public, you just walk in through the exit door, past the membership/cust service desks, and you hit the food court before the liquor area. They only check memberships cards at the entrance door.

        I don’t remember if they make you scan your membership card at the food court or not; if not, I imagine than that’s also available to non-members.

            You can still do it with the pharmacy. Usually that’s embedded in the ‘health’ (because almost none of it is really healthy) section.

      You need one to get into the building though, or well, you at least need to be in a group with someone who has one, and a lot of locations only have a functioning indoor food court.
