I just smoked up a 3 pack of SL ribs from Costco over the weekend and all had a membrane. 2 of them came off easily. The 3rd one was a post 1 bourbon wrestling match that I eventually won.
I buy pork belly, ribs, bone in pork loin and chuckies at Costco. I usually get my pork butt at local grocers such as The Pig, Hyvee, etc. when they put them on the .99/per pound special. I have not seen tomahawks or beef ribs at my Costco for close to a year now. Not sure why as they always seemed very popular. I am not a brisket or prime rib cooker because I cannot justify the price vs. my love of pork flavor.

The crayovac BB's at our Costco and every other one I been in have the membrane removed. What is confusing for some is that there are 2 memebranes. After the heavier one is removed there is a very light one left, that is virtually impossible to remove. I think that is what is frustrating for some. The BB's in the styrofoam packages are the ribs that they bone off the loin at the store. The St. Louis ribs at Costco do not have the heavier membrane removed. Take it from an old retired butcher.

I agree , the Costco's here in the Sacramento area have the membrane removed from the baby backs and the St. Louis have not. I love Costco and the variety from one store to another. My wife and I recently went to N. Montana and visited most of the Costco's along the way. Funny she kept telling me we couldn't buy anything more because we didn't have room. Well guess what? Full size truck , crew cab and I found more space.

IMO it's really not noticeable either way when they're cooked so very rarely bother. Certainly does not make or break a rack of ribs, they're either good or they're not, and the membrane has little to nothing to do with it. For what it's worth, Franklin BBQ doesn't remove theirs and they're widely considered to be a very high level of BBQ...not saying they're the be all end all of BBQ for all time, and of course opinions vary but I don't think it can be denied that regardless of your personal preference they know what they're doing down there so if it's good enough for them, it's sure as shit good enough for me. No one's lining up at 6 am for my ribs yet so I feel like I'm fine leaving it on.
