Costco letting first responders, health care workers skip lines

Updated April 9, 2020 - 9:04 am

Costco Wholesale has announced that health care workers and first responders are being temporarily permitted to go to the beginning of any line to enter the warehouse, with a Costco membership card and official ID. The company said the policy applies to health care workers, police officers, EMTs and firefighters.

The company also has said the shopping hours of 8 to 9 a.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are being reserved for those who are 60 and older or have physical impairments. The pharmacy will be open during that time, but the food court will not, and the policy doesn’t apply to guests.
