What this pass recorded. Nothing confirmed this pass. Warehouse club membership models require identity for every transaction by design, so unlike an ordinary grocer there is no anonymous shopping option at all - the card is the door. That produces a complete purchase history tied to a named household, which is exactly the concern raised in the Costco row of Online Retailers, where members reasonably read the annual fee as buying them out of the surveillance economy.
