Mark Lanz sent a message to Craig Jelinek that said:
Hi Craig, I shop often at the Covington store. In regards to your new mandate that all members wear face mask is probably a good idea, however, is Costco going to provide these mask for members? As a paying member I do not feel I should have to provide items to shop in your stores. For example, should I bring my own shopping cart to shop in your stores? Although the CDC recommend people wear mask when out in public the state of Washington has not yet mandated that requirement. To comply with Costco's requirement I purchased masks, which I feel should be reimbursed by your store as a paying member for about the last 30 years. Here's were we can go with this. . . you store reimburses me for the face mask I purchased to specifically shop in your store or I can file complaints with the BBB and OAG WA. To make this simple if you require people to wear face mask then Costco should provide those. If not you should reimburse your paying members for purchasing them so they can continue to shop in your store.
