Summary
A Bay Area man bought a bottle of Tequila Blanco at Costco and drank it in the food court, sparking discussion about whether pre-gaming is allowed in such spaces. Costco’s workplace policy mentions a drug and alcohol-free environment, but it’s unclear if this applies to customers. State laws vary, with some prohibiting open containers in retail locations. California law specifically bans alcohol consumption in off-sale retail stores, like Costco.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
People drink in stores now. They call it pre-gaming. No one checks IDs. No one cares. Costco food courts are now bars. People just don’t realize it. The rules are blurry. The signs are missing. The cops are nowhere. Luis opened a bottle. The crowd kept eating.
Original observation: Pre-gaming at Costco is just a fancy way of saying “I’m too cheap to go to a bar.”
