Ditto with the US version. I did this for about six months before breaking down and getting a Costco card. I figured if I was in there I might as well do my shopping too. 😂

Often when too lazy to find my card as I enter (because I’m generally the one with chemical soaked hands since I’ve just obsessively swabbed down my shopping cart) I say “pharmacy” and keep walking.
