At least half of these are the “Why he say fuck me for!?” meme. Costco actually treats their employees well, has razor thin margins, keeps profits low to maximize value, and pays living wages. Also, $1.50 hotdogs in 2023 is bordering on insanity as far as value is concerned.
I also have no idea how you truly avoid all of these without living like Ted Kaczynski.
I appreciate the honest reply, and I hope I didn’t come across as condescending in my last post as it was not meant to be an attack, but more of a “huh?” statement. All of those are valid concerns, but I would argue that while not perfect, they’re a much better version of Sam’s/Walmart/Target, and their bulk goods offering doesn’t put them in direct competition with smaller mom and pop stores due to consumers not being able to get quantities/brands that they always want. It’s also very supportive to markets like local restaurants and stores that don’t have built in supply chains that may not want to shop at conglomerate supply stores.
Short version, I don’t necessarily agree with you, but I appreciate your perspective and the well thought out response.
What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?
So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.
