Last week we were headed off on vacation to visit relatives and we found ourselves at the airport. In line for the security screening, my wife informed me that she did not have her Driver’s License. Oh my! Off to a good start! You see she has a separate purse that she uses for Farmer’s Market and she drove there last Sunday and it never got switched back to her regular purse. In our normal cool, calm and collected way we considered our options. She is looking at her credit cards when she notices that her Costco Card has her photo on the back. Hmmmm. Will they accept that? Probably not, but with the undesirable other options, we decide to go for that.
She steps up to the screener with her boarding pass and her Costco Card. He asks for a Driver’s License or Passport. She explains the situation. He calls for a manager. We step aside and wait. The manager has lots of questions and looks at other credit cards and asks me to verify she is my wife and that we live at the same address. He decides to let her pass, but she will have to go through the pat-down search and have her luggage visually searched. We approve that procedure and are good to go. Thank you, Costco!
