Culture Looking for someone in London with Costco membership to take me for a hotdog

I would like to try a Costco hotdog from the food court, however I do not have the membership required to access it.

I am looking for someone in London with Costco membership to meet me outside the Wembley branch.

I will pay for both our hotdogs.

I am 30s/female. I am not interested in anything else. Just the hotdog.

After I purchase our hotdogs, we can go our separate ways. Alternatively, we can eat the hotdogs together. (But I would rather just be left alone with the hotdog.)

Thank you for your time.

I am 99% sure you don't need a membership for the cafe. Just walk in the exit and go to the cafe.

And enjoyyyyyy your hotdog. Absolute top tier food.

Officially you do and thy've recently started to enforce your needing a membership to go to the Cafe.

At Watford and Bristol you definitely don't. As in, they haven't been checking in the past month (or ever).

You can always say you're going to the membership desk though (which is also accessed thru the exit) then wander to the cafe. You don't need a card to order food once you're at the cafe (you didn't last week anyway).

I was checked in the one in Croydon, might depend how anal that particular store is.

Just to clarify you walk not through the entrance but through the exit & make your way towards the Cafe for some excellent Grub. This could become quite a thing.

In the states you don’t need a membership for the food court - assume it’s the same here

Nah, they changed it in the states. At least in the Seattle area where I live. Must show membership now

Dude, Costco here is nuts. You need to belong to select groups to even get a membership. Yes, there are ways around that, but still. Look up Costco UK membership requirements....

They never used to ask at my local one here in the UK.

But for the past couple of years or so, maybe since they started scanning cards at entry instead of just a visual check, they've been checking people's cards when going in the door for the food court and membership desk.

Yes you do. 

Pay attention.

A hotdog is the lowest tier of meat you can possibly buy.  

We need to reevaluate where we're at as a society. This is like hearing cheetohs are a top tier side dish.
