Costco is one of the largest grocery and wholesale chains in America. It is a membership wholesaler. Now, with the pandemic situation, Costco is going to require all shoppers to wear a mask of some sort.
Here’s the information directly from Costco:
Face Mask Requirements
To protect our members and employees, effective May 4, all Costco members and guests must wear a mask or face covering that covers the mouth and nose at all times while at Costco. This requirement does not apply to children under the age of 2 or to individuals who are unable to wear a mask or face covering due to a medical condition.
The use of a mask or face covering should not be seen as a substitute for social distancing. Please continue to observe rules regarding appropriate distancing while on Costco premises. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Reusable Shopping Bags
Unless prohibited by local mandates, Costco is allowing members to use their own reusable shopping bags as long as they pack the bags themselves.
