I’ve seen it work if you can show them a Price Club, Price Costco, and Costco Wholesale card, with the names matching of course. This is know as the 3/4th’s rule, where you show at least 3 out of the 4 known club cards. Google “Costco rule34” for more info. Don’t tell more than one person though, it’s a secret 🤫

I just notice he has a shirt with a picture of himself. Why?

Like everything in Idocracy, you take something everyday and make it more streamlined and efficient, then stupider, then repeat the stupid part a few more times.
In this case we see the evolution of the employee smock, apron, and id badge, into one all-purpose garment. It's even one-size-fits-all.

The time when it would've seemed to everyone an unacceptable intrusion to make routine demands that travellers show their ID anywhere other than at international borders is still within living memory.

Well, I'm just going to have to call my lawyer
Hello, Costco?
-
I love you

Sounds about right! Costco does not issue official Government ID'.
\ Ask your self "Would the accept Costco card in another country?".-
Technically they would allow it, seeing as costco is a worldwide company.
Now how you enter that other country is a bit more problematic.

They do at Costco in other countries

By the rights vested in me through the power of Costco....

Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me

Sir, take off your pants and bend over that table.
You've been randomly selected for an intense search.

But I went to law school there! And I got my ‘too done at Costco! Now let me on this damn plane!
-
Sounds like a marketing opportunity

TSA is awake enough to notice the wrong ID? Don't they tend to allow a lot of weapons?
-
I think you misunderstood the purpose of TSA.
Their job is surveillance. Costco cards dont permit that. Real IDs do.

What about the Costco credit card? Not only does it have a photo but it requires an official credit check.
-
"welcome to costco, i love you"

Sam's Club still accepted.

WTF!?
Are you new to the TSA?
It's a joke, and literal security theater. They have never prevented anything serious, ever. They fail 90-95% when DHS test their ability to detect weapons.
Not new, my first encounter with them was many years ago now, when they were new, but I only ever have any interaction with them when visiting the US.
