The Efficient Checkout Feature At Costco In South Korea - Tasting Table
Briefly

In South Korea, Costco checkout dividers feature a designated slot for membership cards, enhancing the efficiency of the shopping experience and catering to introverted shoppers.
Users on Reddit appreciate the South Korean Costco checkout feature, as it speeds up transactions and reduces direct interaction with cashiers, amid increasing social isolation.
While U.S. members can use a similar method by flipping dividers upside down, this practice is discouraged due to complications and inefficiencies it creates during checkout.
The digital membership card usage through the Costco app highlights the transition towards more technologically efficient means of shopping, though it remains less utilized than traditional membership cards.
