    It is a dumb bit of ceremony, but the door checker just glances at the card. You could roll in with a paper print out and be fine until the registers.

    Still, enough people do stupidly wait until they are in the door threshold and then block the path while digging around, so they should get rid of it.

      Pretty sure the check for the door is just there to make people feel more important.

      It’s to make sure they didn’t forget the card at home/in the car/etc, and not realize it until checkout

      BJ’s doesn’t check anyone going in. You’re free to browse without a membership you just can’t buy anything.

      At our Sam’s we just walk right by that door checker. If you show a card they nod, but if you don’t get out your card they ignore you
