May I see your card, sir?

Every time I enter the doors at the local Costco, I am greeted by an employee asking to see my membership card, and every time I show them my card and grab a cart and wonder what yummy samples they are serving. I have started to wonder how soon this will all come to an end for me. Apparently, my husband doesn't believe in showing his card when he enters the doors at Costco.

A few weeks ago Mark and I went to Costco. As we entered the door, the man said, "Sir, do you have your card?" Mark simply answered in the affirmative. The man then said, "May I see your card, sir?" To which Mark basically ignored and loaded the boys in the cart and went on his way. At this point, I was a little paranoid that this guy was going to track us down in the store and MAKE us show him our membership card. Could he take our card away? Would our trips to Costco be coming to a traumatic halt?

We made it through unharmed, yet Mark continues to believe he is exempt from showing his card as he enters the store. He told me the other day the woman at the door said she was calling security on him. He is such a rebel. But then, why do you have to show your card as you go in? It's not like you can buy anything without a card anyway! Maybe Mark has a point.

I just know that the next time I go to Costco, I will automatically take out my card and flash it to the person standing there - my entrance through the Costco doors shall remain untainted, as long as I don't let Mark come with me!!!
