What about Costco, BJ's, etc who require a membership to enter the store and (probably) are selling the data they get from your membership?
- blackearl 7y agoYou don't need a membership to enter. Specifically, the Costco near me has a liquor store inside but can't legally have it be part of the store. It's a separate store within Costco, and they won't stop you from walking in, buying liquor, and leaving. You can even grab a cheap hot dog on the way
- ab_testing 7y agoCostco does not do that because of the goodness of their heart. They do that because state laws mandate liquor stores to allow anyone to buy liquor without being part of a club or membership. You can thank your state's liquor lobby for that.
- blackearl 7y agoI can still go enter without a membership. Liquor store or not.
- droithomme 7y agoIf something is members-only and you have to pay a fee to be a member is it, legally, public?
- jlgaddis 7y agoIn that case, you are making an informed decision by entering into a written contract -- you are free to do that, if you wish.
