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.
My Costco is flooded with maga, I would love it if they boycotted the store, I have some shopping to do soon.
Bud Light seems to be doing fine.
That’s because people boycotted them by buying other beers owned by the same brand
Didnt Modelo overtake them as the number one beer brand in America thanks to the whole fiasco? At least that’s what my MAGA mother in law likes to announce anytime there’s beer commercials during football games.
According to Forbes, Bud Light sold the most volume, Modelo sold the most by dollar. Modelo is apparently priced as a “premium” beer.
Michelob Ultra just beat them both out, but they are owned by the same company as Bud Light.
Michelob Ultra is a bread La Croix.
Harassment in stores drops off a cliff.
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.
No more turds starting drama in the washrooms 🎉
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
“did mah own research!”
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?? 😂
MAGA will be the ones who “go woke go broke” if they can’t access the rotisserie chicken. I don’t know for what % of Americans that $5 chicken is like the cornerstone of their diet, but it ain’t just a few of us lol.
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
I’ve got to get to Costco and sign up.
You have to hunt for the deals there, like anywhere, and be willing to break up and freeze/preserve big packages of things. Most items are a little cheaper than retail, but somethings are vastly cheaper for the quality you get than a Walmart or Krogers.
If you’re buying for enough people that it makes sense, the Executive membership can easily pay for itself. Generally speaking Costco is slightly cheaper, but the big thing is that you’ll typically get the more premium brand in a bulk container for the more basic price.
But if you aren’t going to be buying for a family of six every other week, it might not be super worth it to you. It’s a good store, but it’s not some amazing mecca or anything.
There is also value in the curation of products that occurs from their generous return policy. They cannot afford to carry shittified products.
I read a margin breakdown on every big box store in consumer reports and Costco was the lowest margin store there was. They make most of their money on the subscriptions.
There are also some items (beer for instance) that are drastically lower in price versus the competition. So much so that you can make your membership fee back in a couple of trips.
But yes, admittedly they do not have 100% unbelievable deals.
Technically, I’m past the point of needing it. It’s more just to support a company that isn’t total shit.
Totally fair. In the same vein I would also commend dropout.tv to you, if you’re at all interested in comedy and have a bit of disposable income.
Make Some Noise is great if you miss the old Whose Line
I know what’s going on here, Okay, I do.
Just realized, I had forgotten entirely about appliances and electronics and clothes and stuff. That stuff is almost always 10-ish percent cheaper as a baseline. So if you need to buy that sort of thing somewhat often, it might be a better deal thank I let on.
I may just switch to the platinum plan.
Did bud light even take a hit? Im pretty sure Kid Rock is still drinking it
The brand took a hit but most of those morons shifted to Modelo and…well guess who owns Modelo? lol
They’re still over 20% down from their high but beer companies seem to not be doing too great over the last 5 years regardless. Tough to tell what the cause was.
If I had to guess, farm bill
Oh good! Now I won’t have to interact with them while shopping.
