You will not be allowed to do self-checkout for alcohol at the Warminster Costco

A hearing on the idea of the Warminster Costco selling alcohol was on March 5, with the Warminster Board of Supervisors. The attorney for Costco, Greg Szallar, of Flaherty & O'Hara, revealed more details of the plan. Szallar said the focus will be on selling bottles and cans to go. Trained employees and a licensed manager will oversee all alcohol sales. There won't be a bar in Costco (can you imagine if there was?), nor will there be any draft beer or mixed drinks.

Your ID will be scanned in order to buy alcohol

Of course, customers will need to provide proper identification. Your ID will be scanned by an associate to make sure you're of age to buy alcohol, so you'll need to be prepared.
