On the surface, sure, but they can now also do things like track how long you spent in the store, what you bought during that duration to figure out where you spent most of your time, etc.
And if they ever wanted to identify someone who was in the store at some point , instead of looking at 44 different camera angles they only have to look at one.
All that said, I don't mind it.

doubt they need that info. how long i spend there wont make a diff. Esp. when they can't track where i'm at within the isles.
Costco will forever see me buying same groceries stuff and never tires or make up / oils / shampoo etc.
They also won't know when i leave and only if I hae purchased. Of course the hours when it's free samples i'll stay longer than the nights when I'm there at 8:15PM on a weeknight.
come on... there must be 1 or two dudes at costco who's on here... chime in!
