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.

I too welcome not having to see a MAGA hat in a Costco.

No more turds starting drama in the washrooms 🎉

I hate Costco…but I’m more likely to go now :)

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.

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.

Seriously, and it is even worse any time near Christmas. I, for one, welcome morons boycotting Costco.

Great. Who is going to leave shopping carts in random parking spots now?

...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

Yah I know this place pretty good, I went to law school here.

They won't actually. Guarantee it.

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...

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

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.

Owning the libs so hard.

What's a magats favorite gun?

A footgun.

I guarantee they forgot about it a week after it was out of the outra- the news cycle

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.

Please, RetHat is a reliable software company. They should be called something else.

Might be a Kid Rock or two out there machine-gunning their Costco membership card or whatever, but yeah, I would not be surprised if a lot of this is trolls, bots and reverse virtue signaling.

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.

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.
