Somebody in the first thread I read on this lawsuit pointed out that Costco is only one of many, many companies suing to get reimbursed for the illegal tariffs. The fact that Costco keeps getting singled out smacks of manipulation.

    Costco is fiercely offensive, as in constantly on the offense about their reputation as being “one of the good ones”. They are better than competitors like Walmart but that’s a wildly low bar to clear and really only pertains to how they treat warehouse workers

    It feels like they're being targeted because of it.

    Because they are, they pay their workers a fair wage, give them good benefits, and give consumers reasonable prices when nobody else will. Pretty sure the entirety of the rest of the industry wants them to go out of business

    Costco also didn't do the "yay we don't have to pretend to care about minorities anymore" rug pull that Target and others did, where they went out of their way to signal the dismantling of whatever DEI stuff they had previously implemented.
