When I got my first one, black and white, and badly focused, with a thin blank streak across it that made it look a bit like I had a bone through my nose, I hated it.
My face looked chubby, and my hair needed combing.
At first they replaced the cards every few renewals…. but they just sent them in the mail…
with the same picture, electronically reproduced, so the resolution is even worse.
Now, for some reason, they don’t even replace the card…
30 years of Costco this year, over half with the same plastic card, and my out-of-focus back and white photo is rubbing off.
At my last renewal, the woman at the counter said the pictures are in color now, and look much better.
She asked whether I’d like a new card.
I said “Are you _crazy??!”_ … and she looked puzzled.
So I told her no new picture could ever look better than the one I now love.
No lighting or focus or color could be as flattering as 30 years off my age,
All the Costco cards here have pictures…
