>even Costco can't demand to see your receipt, but they can cancel your membership if you don't show it

How does Costco figure out which membership to cancel? Surely they don't detain you if you refuse to show your receipt.

Pretty quick to watch the tapes and see what register you bought from. You have to scan membership id at checkout, so then seeing whos membership was used is simple.
