It might: Costco certainly uses security cameras, and it's possible that Costco may be using some sort of AI / facial recognition software alongside the cameras. Perhaps someone who has worked with Costco in security / loss prevention could chime in.

I think you're talking about the equivalent of cookies in the real world, in which case I'd generally agree.
