I know it’s the second Costco related thing I’ve posted on this, but it’s a pretty big deal.
If these MAGA turds want to try to boycott, I’ll laugh my ass off because this one of the best performing retail stocks in the US in the past 20 years.
MAGA fans? More like MAGA cultists based on their behavior (in this particular instance for example).
Is this boycott being pushed by US MAGAs or by their foreign thought leaders?
Do they have Costco in Nigeria?
Considering I can barely get into the CostCo parking lot for all the people there, I suspect their boycott will amount to little.
If we can get them to boycott Walmart too somehow, we can just starve them out entirely. They can’t afford to boycott the best value in town.
Walmarts color is blue. They’re filthy liberals and leftists, otherwise they would have a red logo.
I don’t want flat earth bs I want “Walmart is a filthy liberal” conspiracies
Seriously, and it is even worse any time near Christmas. I, for one, welcome morons boycotting Costco.
They tried that “go woke go broke” bullshit when Costco refused to ditch their DEI policies. It didn’t make a dent then. This lawsuit won’t hurt Costco either.
When they did that, my local Costco staff was wearing LGBTQIA related pins, shirts, hair ties. Their private lockers (which we can see) had stickers.
Poor snowflake maga.
Great, no more MAGA at Costco, now I can know everyone there is a liberal hottie.
I too welcome not having to see a MAGA hat in a Costco.
Wow, I’ve never seen that at mine. In fact, I cannot remember the last time I’ve seen one. What state?
Arizona, Colorado, Missouri.
I can believe the other two for sure. I’m from CO, and I haven’t seen them in a while, but I don’t go to Colorado Springs much, but mostly around Denver area.
I think the state I saw them the most in was South Dakota, but holy crap, that place is very deeply red.
Hi, Texan here. I see them at least once a week…
I can believe that. I’m in Colorado, and I’m sure some parts of the state have people still proudly wearing that hat, I mostly spend time in and around Denver and haven’t seen it in quite some time. Last time I saw one was on some Asian School of Mines kid in Golden, I think. But I’m not sure if he wasn’t wearing it ironically?
No more turds starting drama in the washrooms 🎉
I hate Costco…but I’m more likely to go now :)
Welcome to Costco. I love you.
Yah I know this place pretty good, I went to law school here.
How many JDs did you need to get in a Costco sized education?
…you went to law school at costco?
in a draft of the script for the 2006 film “idiocracy”, it was originally walmart, but changed to costco (which explains the walmart-type greeter).
oh and i think the theme of 2006 film idiocracy is NOT really “intelligence went down”, that’s to distract people from the real theme which is “corporatism rots the brain”. seriously!
Costco’s legal department being the last remainining Constitutional lawyers in America was not something I expected but am not surprised about, either.
On top of that, Costco could probably make tons of money because of the tariffs if they wanted to. Any time prices skyrocket, retailers that can afford to give things at discounted prices can make a bundle. When everybody’s prices go up, people lose the ability to shop at more expensive places.
I think Costco is doing this because they want to continue prioritizing their customers.
Harassment in stores drops off a cliff.
Great. Who is going to leave shopping carts in random parking spots now?
Gotta love it
X commenter Leftyslayer complained, “Costco immediately passed the burden to its customers. They took the profits during the good times and now they screw the citizens during downturn. They have no loyalty to the customer.
Actually not true (imagine my surprise at an X user being uninformed)
From another article:
Millerchip said that while Costco was seeing a direct impact from tariffs on imports of some fresh food items from Central and South America, it decided not to increase prices “because they are key staple items” for its customers.
Costco has been eating the costs of the tariffs (at least in some cases)
…but who am I going to believe? Do I really think Leftyslayer would go on the internet and just lie? I’d have thought Leftyslayer would be even more fair and balanced than fake NBC news. /s
Hey now, being objective demands that we lend equal credence to Leftyslayer’s opinions as to Costco’s, or are you some sort of biased person?? 😂
“did mah own research!”
My Costco is flooded with maga, I would love it if they boycotted the store, I have some shopping to do soon.
They won’t actually. Guarantee it.
Yeah, I know. But it’s nice to dream…
Best time to go is about half hour before closing on a week night. If you have a lot of items, maybe give yourself a bit more time. But people tend to clear out a bit. Used to go on weekends at one point, but I prefer having the place mostly to myself…
Yeah but then you’re making the workers’ lives worse. Seriously people please don’t go to a restaurant or shop a half hour before they close.
Two problems with that. 1) I work 3rd shift and would be either asleep or just waking up when they close, and 2) I have worked many retail jobs and the last minute customers were despised and I don’t think I could do that to them knowing how it screwed me over ever time.
But thanks for the idea.
I used to work retail, too, and yeah, I hated that. Cannot tell you how many times someone would roll in JUST as we are trying to literally lock the door. “I just need a few quick things”, then hangs out for half an hour, because they are a local, or know the girl I work with, or whatever the fuck.
I make sure I wrap up well before the close time. I get in, and get the hell out. Definitely don’t want to be that guy. There has been times where I handed my receipt and walked out the front door at maybe 8:20-something (closes at 8:30) and I know many people are still wandering around the store.
We know they mostly shop at Sam’s Club anyway because Costco doesn’t build in their shitholes. Saving yourselves a 90 minute drive to own the libs.
Ive had a theory that in some places where the wages are super low and life is hard they do not want costco to come in and pay better than all the shitty local factories thats have been taking advantage of people for so long
Yep. We used to live in an area near two Costcos and we knew some people that had several of their (extended) family - adult kids that had moved out and lived in the area as well - working at Costco. They were living middle class lives. Maybe not upper echelon stuff, but it seemed like they had some affinity for the place and they seemed to get treated with an amount of dignity instead of some places that seem to do everything possible to crush the souls of their workers. These people actually seemed…happy. This is even when we ran into them at a Costco store while they were working.
That’s not true. I petitioned Costco to come in to a town over that had the space, but they went several towns over to the next state, because of traffic volume being greater, and bigger tax breaks for business.
While the rural areas are a red stronghold, it’s not that much, and while cities tend to trend blue, there are large bastions of entrenched reds. If you were to hazard a guess as to what those entrenched red areas look like, you would be right if you guessed they fit the costco demographic pretty well.
“Yeah! Let’s go somewhere that’ll charge us way more money to pwn the libs!!”
- maga punching themselves in the balls again
What’s a magats favorite gun?
A footgun.
Owning the libs so hard.
The new Bud Light? Annheuser-Bush is up almost 16% for the year. Sounds like that boycott didn’t go so well. I’m sure Costco wouldn’t mind a 16% boost to their stock price.
It’s almost like the people who attacked Bud Light aren’t even intellectually capable of understanding concepts like “parent companies” and how much of their world has been consumed and consolidated by corporate forces.
Most of them literally think that they hurt “Bud Light, the beer company” and have never even looked up any actual information or details.
How did they even hurt them. By purchasing tons of it and then destroying it. Yes purchasing their stuff is the way to hurt a company.
They did it with some coffee machine company a number of years ago, smashed all these brand new coffee makers for being “woke” or having a commercial that said “be nice to others” or some such manufactured outrage.
The coverage just made the brand name rise to top of search terms, the videos that went viral of people smashing coffee machines became so trendy that people were buying the things just to smash or burn them on camera for views. It was hilarious and only helped the company.
If I were the coffee maker company, I would have used the opportunity to buy into the advertising/ display programs, and put my coffee makers on sale in all the big box stores, and encouraged even more sales.
That’s… just basic marketing
Yes, it is, I used to be the guy who sold, and then later, bought those in-store marketing programs.
The point is, when weird PR things like that pop up, companies tend to hide out for a while, and let the craziness die down. I’d do exactly the opposite, and take advantage of it. Sure, they’re buying my product to destroy it, but the key word is “Buy,” so I got their money, and the second key word is “destroy,” which means they’ll be buying a new one when this is over.
If MAGAs are going to be stupid, then it’s my corporate responsibility to fleece them as much as possible.
I also think the outrage was talked about more than it’s actioned on. And the talk may have also come from foreign troll farms.
I guarantee they forgot about it a week after it was out of the outra- the news cycle
