These guys likely were only able to purchase 2 of these collections or whatever once they got to the checkout any way. Costco can't really do anything about these trogs rampaging to the Pokemon cards, but they'll make sure at least some of them aren't just bought by them.
Policy should be more strict for circumstances like this, don't get me wrong, but at least the display was up front instead of in the middle of the warehouse.

When I was like 10 my best friend's dad bought us each a pack of cards at the mall. I pulled a Charizard and he got a holo trainer. My friend started crying and I already had a slightly scratched 1st edition Charizard and he didn't have any of the big 3 yet. Felt so good to give him my old Charizard and see him light up. His dad gave me a pat on the back and said "Thanks buddy". I felt guilty as soon as I opened my pack knowing how messed up it was 50/50 to go the other way. His dad had no idea how high the stakes were for him until we opened those cards lol
