I realize this is a old post but damn the OP's post is the most asinine thing I have heard in a while. The responses by some are nearly in the same category.

First off, were I a manager of that store and he spoke to one of my employees in that manner, I would promptly refund his membership, tear it up and tell him he is no longer welcome in my store. Such behavior is truly juvenile and as far as I am concerned completely uncalled for.

I have shopped at Costco for over 11 years. It's pretty much the only place I shop because it is convenient, the customer service is the best that I have experienced and the prices over all are the best I can find.

I have a friend who works there and I asked her about the door checking.

Shrinkage is an issue and sometimes they do find items that were not scanned or items that were scanned more than once. I have had both happen to be on various occasions.

Costco does not know you. They do not know if you are trying to sneak something out. Why people think that because you say you have never and would never steal that the company is supposed to know that is beyond me.

Another reason they ask for the receipt is to prevent double dipping. At the cost co I shop at they put a hash mark on the receipt so that you cannot go back in the store get the same stuff and walk out the door with the same stuff two or three times.

As others have said, if you don't like it go somewhere else. Having to wait a minute or two longer to leave the building is not a big deal. If it is, you have other issues you need to deal with as far as I am concerned.
