A Costco shopper is put out of the store after a worker kicked him out for misusing his father’s membership card while buying a slice of pizza
In a TikTok with over 107,400 views, content creator Clarence White (@clarencewhite) breaks down how the encounter unfolded.
“I [expletive] just got kicked out of Costco,” White says, while sitting in a Costco parking lot.

White says, “They chased me down and they were like, ‘We know you’re not the Clarence born in 1963.’ I go, “What are you talking about?’”
White says the Costco employees told him that when he scanned his Costco card, the name Clarence popped up with the transaction. White says the employees then accused him of using a fake name and of not being born in 1963.
“I say, ‘My dad’s name is Clarence. That’s y’all’s fault for not clocking me when I walked in. That’s on y’all.’” White recounts.
He then says the employees asked him to leave the store. “I was just getting a [expletive] slice of pizza, that was ridiculous,” he vents as the video ends.
Costco cracks down on membership sharing
Costco offers two types of personal membership: Gold Star membership and Executive membership. Gold Star memberships are $65 a year while Executive memberships are $130 annually. Both include two membership cards, one for the member and one for someone else in the household.

Every Costco operates differently at food court. I’ve been to one where you order and get your food before next patron. Then there are the ones you order at the kiosk and wait around until your number is called. Some you order at kiosk and get in line to get your food. I like these ones the best because you can order food court from regular cashiers. Before Covid, the Costco food courts that are located outside didn’t need Costco membership to order. These are the one I’ve encountered so far. I used to wait in parking lot so my kids can go order what they wanted but that was a while back when combo pizza was available . Now we eat less than a handful per year from Costco’s food court because combo pizza is no longer available hot.

I remembered the Costco locations I've been to never card anyone going to the food court whether it be indoor or outdoor because it's always on the exit side of the store. You can just walk in, get your food and leave.
Guess they are cracking down hard now... ???
