It's not the case when you're inside Costco. I'd also argue that it's not open to the public because you're required to have a membership to go in.

The point is, Costco is taking many pictures of you, including possibly correlating with events or actions.

We accept Costco taking pictures of you as a condition of entering the store and securing a membership.

The same does not go for random creeps wanting to take close up pictures of a child.

In this specific example, sure. You have no expectation of privacy in public and you are photographed, repeatedly.

The creep behavior is the problem. The photograph is a symptom of it.
