4 years I have been going into Costco barefoot. Today I was stopped. Two gatekeepers than a manager. Manager claimed health code. I did not want to cause a scene, I was with my son. Explained that I had never been stopped before, I was an executive member, and planned to spend about $300. Nope, no shoes, no shopping. I went to Smith's instead, never a problem at Smith's.
So my choices.
Write to management and try to get in barefoot.
Wear sandals.
Cancel membership.
I'm leaning toward canceling. I like some of Costco's items, but I don't like being told that I need shoes on, especially when the manager uses health code as a reason. Plenty of other shopping options and I will probably save money in the long run. My wife likes Costco and will probably think I am over reacting.
Thoughts?
