The warehouse retailer says it will watch its self-checkout lanes more closely after employees have noticed a steady increase in membership-sharing since installing self-service checkouts.
Sharing may be caring when it comes to friends and family. However, many membership-based companies and services are cracking down on people passing their perks on to non-members, and warehouse retailer Costco is now joining them.
