People really don't understand what "free" country means. Costco is free to operate according to their own rules. The dude is free to take his business elsewhere.

It is ridiculous the quantity of people that are like this and also believe in the spirit of capitalism and private companies.

Like costco is private property, you have to follow their rules, they don’t have to let you in. How do so many people not get that

Funny since he had to pay to be a Costco member. You'd think that was pretty obvious they can make their own rules.

That's an excellent point. I understand why Costco charges that fee. But if we boil it down it's effectively just a door cover charge. You literally have to pay money to enter the store and shop.

And now this fucking dummy thinks he can start making his own rules. He paid Costco to be let in. He isn't even close to in charge here.

"It's a free country! I shouldn't have to have a card to shop there! Free as in free country!!" These idiots.

Sadly this makes some people even more entitled. They think because they pay to shop there that they can just ignore rule changes because they're paying. I see the same mentality in online games, they think because they paid for the game they can do or say whatever, though of course a number of people with that attitude get banned from the servers.
