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.
Costco will be so much nicer without all the maga mouthbreathers clogging the aisles
MAGA fans? More like MAGA cultists based on their behavior (in this particular instance for example).
I wonder which countries these boycotters are from. 70% chance these are bots from Russia, India, or South Asia.
Is this boycott being pushed by US MAGAs or by their foreign thought leaders?
Gotta love it
“Yeah! Let’s go somewhere that’ll charge us way more money to pwn the libs!!”
- maga punching themselves in the balls again
Owning the libs so hard.
What’s a magats favorite gun?
A footgun.
costco’s doing the right thing
Costco is doing the correct thing.
It’s the right(wing) who are wrong.
that’s what i mean
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
GOOD.
Get MAGA out of my Costco. Won’t miss you assholes even for a second.
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 :)
So you’re telling me we won’t have to deal with trash at Costco anymore?
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.
