    WATCH OUT FOR COSTCO

    Costco is relentless in its quest to get information about its customers.

    They don’t extend credit yet their store application asks for your D.O.B., SS#, etc. Whats up with this? I refused to put this information on the application because I WASN’T APPLYING FOR CREDIT. I didn’t appreciate them taking my pic or recording my driver’s licence when they asked to see it for identity purposes. GRR

    Why would they need this for those who are paying with cash? Why do they let you use an ATM at the gas pump but NOT inside?

    I hope others share this with those who care about their privacy and not reward Costco for invading their privacy or possibly exposing them to I.D. theft.
