Posting in the Costco Wholesale UK Facebook group, one shopper said: "Costco Reading food court is back open with the full menu. <\/p>\n
"New touchscreens for ordering and fast service."<\/p>\n
Other Costco fans were quick to comment, with one writing: "So much quicker. <\/p>\n
"Managed to queue, order and pick-up my order within three minutes. Massive step forward."<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n While another wrote: "Hope they bring this to Sheffield. Always huge queues."<\/p>\n And a third added: "Need this at the Coventry branch! I avoid the food court because the queue is always ridiculous." <\/p>\n Costco currently has 29 stores across the UK including in\u00a0Leeds,\u00a0Derby\u00a0and Croydon.<\/p>\n The Sun has asked the retailer how many of its food courts already have touchscreens in their food courts and if it will be rolling them out across more stores.<\/p>\n It comes after The Sun exclusively revealed that Costco is eyeing up 14 locations with hopes to open new stores there "as soon as possible".<\/p>\n You can find your nearest Costco by putting your postcode or closest town into its Store Finder tool on its website.<\/p>\n But keep in mind, to shop at\u00a0Costco\u00a0you must be a\u00a0member.<\/p>\n The cost ranges from \u00a315 to \u00a374.40 depending on the perks you want or if you want to exclusively shop online.<\/p>\n Costco\u00a0is a chain retail store\u00a0that sells items in bulk.\u00a0It also sells items under its own brand, Kirkland.<\/p>\n But not just anyone can shop at Costco – you need to be a member.<\/p>\n To be eligible for membership, you need to have – or be retired from – a certain type of job.<\/p>\n This includes public sector workers such as\u00a0NHS\u00a0staff,\u00a0police\u00a0officers, teachers, and local government workers, as well as those working in banking and finance.<\/p>\n A full list of accepted jobs and qualifications can be found on the Costco website.<\/p>\n Costco membership\u00a0starts from \u00a315 a year for\u00a0online shopping\u00a0only, rising to \u00a333.60 a year for individual members who want access to the warehouses.<\/p>\n There are also trade memberships for businesses starting at \u00a326.40 a year.<\/p>\n Each membership includes a free membership card for spouses and partners who live together.<\/p>\n The retailer offers a range of other services for members, from discounted fuel and tyre installation to\u00a0mortgage\u00a0services and\u00a0pet\u00a0insurance.<\/p>\n This week, we revealed Costco has abruptly\u00a0discontinued its photo\u00a0printing service online and in all of its stores.<\/p>\n The service allowed customers to create personalised cards, invitations, banners, calendars and posters, as well as print photos for as little as 5p.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, we also reported Costco had launched its first\u00a0digital membership card, meaning\u00a0shoppers\u00a0will now be able to go to stores and swipe their phone instead of carrying a physical card.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/NEW-OFF-PLATFORM-TEMPLATE-2023-09-06T115911.467-1.jpg\")
