Used to be food court too, but I believe they stopped that in 2020 ish
There are a few costcos in socal with outdoor food courts. I’m nearly certain there’s no membership required to use them. I may be wrong though, it’s been a while.
Both my local SoCal Costco's have outdoor food courts. You have to scan your card at them. One has a table with self serve kiosks for ordering too, then you queue up to get your food handed to you.
Yeah, it seems like they're cracking down. The only one I know of that has an outdoor food court is the one in Kauai. The last time I was in town it was closed for renovations, which sucks because on a trip out there I usually hit up the food court a couple of times for a quick cheap meal for the family. My guess was that they're going to either move it inside, or add some kind of thing to verify your membership.
IIRC, there are sometimes state laws that prevent them from restricting access to the food court. It depends.
My local Costco doesn't require a membership to buy from the cafeteria. You order from a computer and pay.
