I dislike that Costco hasn’t adapted more check out tech like Sam’s Club but I will gladly stand in those long lines when the company does the right thing.
Seems to me that it's all knee-jerk reactions. Nobody wants to research, even when the info is readily available. Critical thinkers aren't being hired into the decision-making positions. Jmho
There are easily tens of thousands of hours of research into this. The critical thinkers at Costco thought they did all this research when they decided to create the DEI program in the first place, don't have any issues with it, and won't be distracted from making money by petty politics.
Best place to shop! We split the bulk if it will go bad etc. 2 Dozen eggs $5.99
15% mark up and pay their people good and good benefits. 100’s apply whenever they hire!
Private company diversity policies don’t “balance” to attain diversity goals. They practice diversity everyday by choosing the most qualified candidate. Which leads to a competitive advantage.
Just got a Costco membership today. It’s a little more work than ordering on Amazon and I still have to go to grocery store for some things but it will be worth it to support a company doing something right
Just renewed my Executive membership at Costco. Think I’ll go buy stuff and deliver it down to my favorite homeless center on behalf of the people and companies that refuse to allow Trump and his America hating base to define us!
This is how it starts. 1 company doing the right thing, then another!
Then that is the sort of business you need to support. as far as I am concerned companies that go for the policy of getting rid of Dei's were just looking for an excuse.
It would be so nice, if some paper, podcast, news etc. Would make a list of all those, who stands strong, with the people. So people have a choice, to support them. ❤️
You can get some things delivered but not everything, I'm 100+ miles from the nearest one right now so it's limiting.
But I just read that they got permits for the location up here and apparently they have a strict 110 day build schedule so maybe this year!!
Good to know
I have some Costco shares
I guess it’s time to get going to the shareholder meetings
Glad this was pulled off tho despite my absence ❤️🔥✊🏽💋
I had Costco two years ago and switched to Sam’s Club last year because they have a better selection. But that’s about to expire so I think I’ll switch back. It’s at least one tangible thing I can do for the better.
Executives who run away from DEI are undermining their shareholders. They are not looking at long term benefits. They need to be fired by their boards.
Costco former CEO once threatened a mans life of they change the price of the hotdog combo. Id imagine they are about keeping things the way they work best.
And in return the Teamsters boss, DJT's buddy, gets a huge campaign going to portray Costco as an evil empire by promoting the strike of only 8% of Costco employees.
I will add that every major news outlet, ABC, NBC, Etc. is publishing the Teamsters press release without mentioning that 93% of Costco employees are non union because it's an ethical company that values it's employees.
Rarely is there a company that doesn't need a union but in the case of Costco I agree,I remember years ago the CEO explaining how he didn't need an astronomical salary like some of these other clowns.
Exactly. I was reading about this on a Chicago network station and something felt so wrong about what I was reading that I needed more info, and here we are. Worked advertising/marketing for many years so I know how this works.A vapid industry if there ever was one.
Let's hope everyone flocks to Costco and other businesses take note, with any luck Shit-Head's attempt to do away with anti-discrimination laws will actually lead to incentivising being non-discriminatory.
I don't want to sound like an advertisement here, but Costco has always done what is right for its customers, employees, and owners. They don't bow to politicians and due to their success they don't need to.
Costco isn't a company in those terms though; relevant to this, it's hundreds of billions of dollars of stock represented by people there only to make money. This wasn't the President and Executive Board or a single owner, this was an overwhelming vote by the shareholders of a large corporation.
As well they should. DEI means hiring veterans, people with reasonable disabilities, women. Not just white heterosexual Christian men. Not just people of color.
Doesn't get more "meritocracy" than that! 🇺🇸
I suggest you check out https://Costco.com, they have a lot available online! I've ordered snacks, household items, furniture, appliances, reserved rental cars, they do vacations...
Sounds like an hour may be worth it. Especially for your family lol. Browse the app before you go so you have some idea before you go. It's big and everything is everywhere 🤣
Excellent job Costco! No please take care of your truckers who are about to strike. I carefully follow where my money goes and I’d hate to have to cut back at Costco.
Time to go spend some more money at Costco 💵So many companies are bending the knee to Trump, we have to be sure to support the companies that are fighting back and doing the right thing ✊🏾
I am going to renew my Costco membership. During these next 4 horrible years, I plan to surround myself by good people who have maintained their integrity & humanity because right now, the opposite types of ppl are pretty much running & destroying America.
I enjoy shopping at Costco and Support them keeping their DEI for lots of reasons heard about ready to strike because their pay has not kept up with the cost of living. Do the right thing Costco and pay your workers a living wage.
IMO, saying it will fail so don't bother is worse than doing nothing. ACT as if it is YOUR vote, your boycott, YOUR Post, YOUR voice that will mean the difference. Every advance starts with one step than another.
I was talking about how a maga boycott of Costco won’t work. I always boycott and I never relent. I’d die in the desert before a drop of chick fil a lemonade hit my lips. Haven’t eaten pasta barilla since their bs. Or Wendy’s since they put the squeeze on Ellen for coming out in 97. I never relent.
Sadly it seems some criminals have better code of conduct towards civilians than leaders now- they are not that different frankly, both trading on money and power and exploiting the weaknesses of the masses
I once bought a bag of sliced onions for a BBQ not realising just how BIG that bag actually was because everything is king size in there! Onions for breakfast, lunch and dinner, forever 🤣
* reminder: Home Depot gave $ directly to both T47's campaigns, which is arguably worse. Sad about Lowes. Here in Seattle, there's still McLendon Hardware.
No. Cosco have overwhelmingly supported DEI because they are not stupid. As Captain Kirk said "there are always alternatives". The alternative to no action is to watch democracy crumble and none of us want that.
Haha exactly. I had a lady at the Costco gas station griping on and on about this the other day, while she was pumping Costco gas and about to go into the store! #alltalknoaction
That’s why we shop there rather than Sam’s Club. They treat their workers better, they always have, they always will. It’s a better experience for the same money. Just shows you don’t have to be a piece of shit to your workers to make a profit.
I can’t vote against him a third time but I can vote with my wallet. Time to switch to Costco. The simple act of treating people equally should not be controversial.
You fucking get a clue! I'm in a southern red state that doesn't give a shit whether people eat or starve. Local farmers are selling their land to developers left and right. There are no magic greenhouses, and vegetables don't grow in 25° soil. Don't be an asshole.
COSTCO is opening soon near where I live. I’m going to join as a member as soon as it opens. I will close my Sam’s Club account. I’d chose a less prejudice company over any Republican/DJT prejudiced company.
That is why I have cancelled my Sam's club membership that I have had since they where price club and I am going to go with them. Of course I am waiting to make sure before I join
It’s the right thing to do, but it’s also solid business strategy. Organizations with a diverse workforce are more successful. Lots of data to show it. This backlash against DEI is bad for business.
Well worth it and my biggest tip for people who infrequently need giant-sized bags/boxes of foods, get a vacuum sealer with a pulse option so you can maintain the shelf life of things that are structurally solid like pretzels, cereal, cookies, candies, etc.
Been looking for where to put the money I used to have in Tesla stock, Costco ticks all the boxes, good company, profitable, well run, has at least a shred of moral decency, and plus love shopping there.
I suppose all those companies that are dissolving their DEI policies didn’t read their own application forms where it states that they will not discriminate against people based on race, gender, orientation when considering applicants for a position.
Costco isn't in my area, we only have Sam's Club. My recourse will be downgrading my plus membership to a regular one. I have $50 in rewards cash, so it will be free this year. #ShameonyouWalmart
I read a report that stated that companies that embrace DEI initiatives are 39% more profitable than their counterpart. Losing money just to be MAGA? Being associated with Trump and his policies has NEVER been beneficial to anyone ever.
No surprise, given Costco’s 98% Democrat backed stance diversity and inclusion remain core to their business identity. Bold move in these times. They are standing firm on their values while others retreat. #DEI #Costco
This isn't a Democrat owned company. It's a large publicly owned corporation whose shareholders, people there just to make money, for all intents and purposes decided practically unanimously that this would be a bad idea for their business org. A lot of Ppl thought about it, and then voted no.

And I hope it hurts the companies that are shutting down their efforts. https://www.forbes.com/sites/roncarucci/2024/01/24/one-more-time-why-diversity-leads-to-better-team-performance/
Well done, Costco!
Just wish their packaging wasn't so heavy on the plastic.
15% mark up and pay their people good and good benefits. 100’s apply whenever they hire!

Plus, I really miss the cinnamon bread.
Doesn't get more "meritocracy" than that! 🇺🇸
Glad they kept the hot dogs cheap though
THAT is courage, and we need much more of it now more than ever!
Taking the right way!

It's so nice to not have that trash in the stores while shopping but I do miss harassing them.

I had a hard debate with myself over Amazon or Costco .
This may have sold me .
One of the last respites of freedom from 💩 stained 💩💩
Already renewed my membership.
I joined COSCO because they stood up for DEI
(for all you magat, white, morons...what job at COSCO did someone take away from you? How is your life impacted? You are all a disgrace to humanity)
