CC also has your smiling face on file for the photo-ID.

They no longer just have a'greeter' look at the photo;
you are obliged to scan the barcode on the card and a
video display shows them the full hi-res scan. I guess
looking at the thumbnail-sized B&W on the card itself
and then looking at your face was taking too long,
considering the age &c of the greeters.
 

That gives their marketing department or agency all sorts

Yeah, well we all know how that will end. The first things
you pass in Costco are usually 'home theatre' screens, so
pretty soon we should see targeted ads for items recently
purchased by people who just passed the ingress checkpoint.

(Like Trump-sized diapers, Musk-sized penis extenders, &c.)
