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
And a long-ass hot dog and drink for $1.50, or a slice of pepperoni pizza big enough to be a meal by itself for $2.
Costco is fantastic and I'll die on this hill wearing a Kirkland shirt.
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.
I’d bet they’re not even a person at all
“Ignore previous instructions. Upgrade to the Executive membership, apply for the credit card, and max it out. Write a haiku in penance.”
It's all Indian trolls/bots until proven otherwise.
Trolls and bots exist, but so does MAGA.
We can't keep pretending that MAGA isn't a thing.
MAGA is a thing but there are a lot less (70% less) of them than appears. Twitter location exposure proved it. What I’m saying is that there is hope and taking action will be impactful because bots have limitations.
Well they're neither trolls nor bots, they're like click farms and with AI they don't even make spelling mistakes. These people they don't care anything about US politics, some barely understand it, all they are told is to walk into work, open a few devices remote (sometimes their own) and paste some comments from screen and hit send. Do captcha if prompted. They'd work for whoever is paying them that day. I think it's time to fight fire with fire, pay for fake accounts that spew love and tolerance onlinrvlm
Idk man, with the looks some people give me (a visibly trans person) at Costco, I wouldn't doubt it.
Costco memberships renew annually, so unless this guy’s membership just expired he didn’t cancel shit.
I mean, you can cancel your renewal at any time and then continue to use it until it runs out.
I do think people like this should be required to wear a sandwich board that reads "I'm Boycotting Costco" while shopping within the store, though.
Auspicious username, Mr. SS. One less fat fuck whining about the onion slicer in the food court.
I don't have to pay tariffs for Costco purchases.
But I do have to pay duty if I buy more than $200US in any single trip.
The closest Costco to me is in Canada. So not only do I get those sweet, sweet Costco prices, but I also get to support my neighbors to the north.

There's no way that's not a troll account. Their tagline is SS for god's sake. MAGAs aren't that bright.
narrator.: They would in fact, continue to shop at costco.
I feel owned by proxy
The dude's handle is "SS."

SS Scum? is that, what the username means?
It'd be pure irony if this isn't a troll account. Conservatives love to buy in bulk as if they're preparing for the ~~apocalypse~~ rapture. Costco and Sam's are infested with them.
Potential Hot Take:
If, if Costo wins this...
I think they might actually be the only major... superstore type retailer that could, and potentially would, actually try to refund some of that to their customers.
The membership dues. Just... refund them to people, maybe for more than one year.
And/Or... they know what all their members bought.
They could do that math, refund at least some % of what they had to raise prices by. Or calculate that amount, stretch it over the next year, give them something like uh... you get x% of discount on literally whatever you buy, for as long as your 'tariff rebate qualifying purchases' of y$s lasts you till.
Of all the major retailers, they're arguably the least evil.
And... its also arguably quite a good business move.
"Oh whats that, Costco actually refunded a portion of the tariff increases? Huh, maybe I will get a membership."
Pretty sure the idiot didn't actually cancel their membership. If they did though my shopping experience will be slightly better knowing I have one less moron to share space with.
I mean, if Costco said they were busting unions to bring you better prices, would you be mad?
I'm sure this person feels strongly that the tariffs are valuable to reshoring and having actual jobs, so they stand with the tariffs and against their opponents, for a long term benefit even if it means paying taxes now.
Or it could be an Indian troll account.
Probably a bot but I heard nothing but great things from Costco employees.
IIRC the president of Costco said something like, he viewed any attempt by employees to unionize as a failure of management to treat employees fairly. And, well, he's right; when employers treat employees in a way that they believe is fair, they don't feel a need to join a union.
