The Co-op is upgrading the way that we maintain our membership database and how we apply 10% discounts. Members who are used to just telling the cashier “Pink, Purple, Blue, or Yellow Card” will need to take a couple more steps than that to ensure that your membership is current and that you receive your discount, if you get one.
We know how hard it can be to change old habits, and some of our members have proudly carried their tattered pink cards for several decades. We hope to make the transition as smooth and easy as possible. Every member will need to get a new membership card at the cash register.
Why are we causing such a ruckus at the register? Our membership records have grown tremendously over the last 10 years and we need new software to help us keep up. By linking our membership information into the register system, we will have more accurate ways to track dues payments and membership renewals than our current system allows. There will be other benefits as well, such as automatic applying of discounts and easier ways to resolve returns and overcharges.
Thank you for your patience and for being a member! The Co-op Staff and Board are grateful to our large and active membership and all the support you show the Co-op year after year.
