Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD.
Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%.

Remind everyone what it is like to try to prosper when the Good Old Boys Club runs everything.
Haven’t stepped foot in a target since all of this came to light. I used to love target & spent a fair amount there. Their loss.
Haven’t felt like shopping at ALL since the Nazis took over, so not a problem.
I don't go there that often, because they're a zoo, and my local Costco's parking lot is half the size it needs to be.
Every dollar is a vote!
Found parking at the outer edge of the lot when someone was leaving.
I've never seen it so busy on a Saturday afternoon that wasn't the last one before Christmas or Thanksgiving.
Keep up the fight Costco.
regardless, I love me some costco!!!!

If they can make a choice, so can I.
because of Jeff Bezos.
Hoping my vote for where I will drop my 💰 grocery budget counts more than my vote for Kamala 🇺🇸
If enough of you turn up in Washington, this all stops.
Imo 5 million should do it.

But Nazis who Hate are more interested in Hate than they are in having a successful business.
Oh yeah, I’m at Costco#1 too!
I definitely stopped buying more though.

If you’re going, be brave and boo any mention or cut to Trump for all of us who can’t go!! Better yet bring a sign. They can’t control you there - yet?? And, if you’re at a party, root for the non-MAGA Eagles!!!
They really took that “it’s where you go to just browse cuz your bored” branding windfall and just utterly deepthroated the bottle brush there. Good grief.
and if you dont they threaten to have you arrested or even have you arrested and steal your shit you paid for.
used to work at sam's club saw it day in day out along with abusive managers threatning to have workers arrested for giving food to the homeless even if it was on their own paycheck/time.
Sure whatever. Actual dystopia who gaf anymore 🙄
The employees told us to "buy things and bring them back if they don't fit."
No.

We need to make it easy for all women, so this can be done anywhere and still have an impact! We need to come together to show our power
Shocking.
How much will Costco workers earn? The Issaquah, Washington-based retailer will pay top-of-the-scale clerks $31.90 an hour and top-of-the-scale assistants $30.20 an hour, starting in March.Jan 31, 2025.
Not starting, but senior members.
Also their minimum is $19.50/hr and cap at $30 (we have asked her since our daughter is looking for a job)

Unions are great and all, but sometimes there are options that are just as good.
Also labor costs to that magnitude would be bad for the company itself tbh.
If you can't make the drive they have online member exclusive deals and delivery too.
And sometimes they have amazing deals on package trips—several years ago I found a five star resort stay in Playa Del Carmen -60% from retail rates.
I have booked rental cars exclusively with Costco Travel since.
I joined in feb 2020
on an unrelated matter, anyone has recipes for 4 lbs of firm tofu :-) ?
i swear, I am starting to drool tofu :-)
DIVERSITY is always there,
Yet fairness isn’t everywhere.
EQUALITY’s the dream we chase.
INCLUSION gives us all a place.
in positions of authority, that if you go woke, you broke
Go racist, Uh...suck shit
DEI, valuing workers isn't some kumbea feel good thing at Costco, they understand it's a competitive edge that allows them to thrive in a tough retail sector.
In Salt Lake, Costco & Sam's Club are nearly across the street from each other on 300 West. While Costco is packed, there's maybe 30 cars in the Sam's Club parking lot, plus the 4 cars getting gas.
