>I was asking about your experience since you indicated it happened to you. If you don't want to share thats fine
>>I just have written two paragraphs on my personal experience
I see. So you haven't directly experienced being yelled at or having your picture scrutinized, you just observed it happening to other people?
>seem to think that verifying your membership by asking for your card is "being treated like a criminal."
>>not at all what I said, but I think you knew that
I think its disingenuous to cherry pick parts of quotes. I'll list it out again so you see that it wasn't directed at you specifically.
"as quite a few commenters on the thread seem to think that verifying your membership by asking for your card is "being treated like a criminal."
I'll leave it to you to scroll through the thread if you want to see what I was speaking too.
>This will be the scenario you run into when your membership expires
>>Again, gift cards are highly regulated in my state. They don't suddenly lose all value contingent on the buyers standing at the store. You're making that up for some reason.
I think if you read the reviews from the link I referenced[1] there was no mention of loosing the cards value. I said Costco only let them use it once as a non-member. There are a number of different scenarios listed in the reviews that people ran into. If you don't want to read the reviews thats fine, but there is nothing being made up instead you are creating a scenario which wasn't stated. It makes no sense why I would do that and then provide you the link to the source of the information.
> Do you work for Costco?
I pointed you to the Costco site which is where I would go to find out about their policies and because of that I must "work" for Costco now? I was simply pointing out other peoples experiences as "non_members" which you alluded to as your future plan here with the cards.
Here are the reviews incase you missed the link previously, look through the (1) star reviews to see what I was talking about.
>Great, then apply your personal knowledge to where you live
>>That's... what I've been doing this whole time, thanks
Yes and where you live is known to you, not everyone in the thread. We were only granted the illuminating information of cards being "highly regulated in your state" later on in your response post. No one would have known this information prior to that.
In the event you were unaware of this, angle brackets are a form of quoting in markdown and other forums such as mailing lists. Multiple brackets are intended to show threaded conversations.
You quoted a statement that wasn't part of our conversation and seemed misplaced in our thread.
Based on your displayed reading comprehension level it seemed prudent to include the thread since you were unable to piece a few previous sentences together and were mis-quoting previous statements.
I've also decided to break out my sentences so they are easier for you or your screen reader to work with.
I hope whatever bot this is training works out well and can help improve its comprehension levels. Don't get too tired typing one sentence answers today, drink some water and take some breaks.
