Costco is one of the only American institutions that's kept its promise of a cheap-ass hot dog and affordable bulk snacks, they gotta tell these people to kiss their ass

Reposted from Karen Attiah

"The 19 Republican officials, co-led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird have demanded Costco notify the states within 30 days whether it will repeal its DEI policies or provide an explanation for maintaining them."

Antagonizing a wildly popular budget grocery chain is sure to win over hearts and minds...

" geeeeeet fuuuuuuuuuuuucked " has a nice ring to it

From Costco's PR dept: "Thanks for your letter MAGAts and traitors, but we'll do what we want, when we want, with who we want, without your racist, misogynistic input."

jordanb239.bsky.social•26 days ago

they already did! they provided a lengthy explanation that amounted to "this would kill our business so fuck off"

Woke hot dog bulk store

"Our explanation for keeping our DEI initiatives? Your mom asked us to."

Send em the Cleveland Browns letter, dare them to come after you. In "dipshit state attorney general vs Costco" I know where public opinion's gonna come down, and it ain't gonna be the one that doesn't sell me a dog and (soon) a Coke for a buck fitty

They can threaten to close the warehouses in those states.

That $5 rotisserie chicken is the meal of the Gods

Closest Costco to me is 90 minutes away in Newman.

Got a membership this weekend, just for hot dogs and DEI.

Explanation: Piss off lol

Further, Costco is involved in interstate/international
commerce. When you have no rational basis
(hatred isn’t enough) you won’t win. Pound sand, AGs.

haf118.bsky.social•26 days ago

Same folks telling Costco what to do also say “we want smaller government.”

hwgt9.bsky.social•26 days ago

America may be in decline, but Costco can do all that, tell them to kiss their ass, and sell me a solo cup full of ice cream for $2 like they did today. What a company.

rockpapersissors.bsky.social•26 days ago

COSTCO don't cave.

bnbuckeyeaz.bsky.social•26 days ago

Of course that greaseball who should be in prison, Ken Paxton, is part of this. Costco should send him a week old rotisserie chicken with a post it that says, "fuck you"

cpcooke.bsky.social•26 days ago

This is the party of let businesses operate with as little govt involvement as possible, right? 🤔

chocolate-leonidas.bsky.social•26 days ago

They've literally given their reasons several times before. These dense Republicans actually think that asking the same questions over and over, in a louder voice gets them the answer that they want to hear lol.

It’s 2038 and I am a proud member of the Costco Resistance Militia. Our battle cry of “$1.50 Hot Dogs!” strikes fear in the establishment wherever we go

kevinrsours.bsky.social•26 days ago

I just signed up for a membership. Not sure it's going to turn out to be worth it (it's just two of us) but it's a close call and shit like this really makes me want to keep it.

edsbs.bsky.social•26 days ago

if you want me to think of the government as a business then what I'm getting for my subscription fees suuuuuuuuuuucks

Everything is a stepped on product

Right?

Can we start funding a competing startup?

Oh, that’s sedition?

Then this isn’t fucking business.

(I know you know it isn’t)

gwarrr.bsky.social•26 days ago

Can I break up my bundle? If I only want to pay for roads and social services, is there an option for that? I never watch any of those "politics" channels that get thrown in with the good stuff.

alexwarneke.bsky.social•26 days ago

“What are you gonna do? NOT get the hot dog combo? Do you hear yourself?”

mkingjohnson.bsky.social•26 days ago

God I hope they responded by just sending each of those guys a $0.30 cent coupon on Shake n Bake.

grungehamster.bsky.social•26 days ago

Didn't like 90%+ of their voting shareholders just elect to maintain these policies? Seems like reason enough to justify keeping them.

ams-ksu.bsky.social•26 days ago

"Sorry, Kenny and Brenda. Our duty is to our shareholders, and they told us to tell you to kick rocks."

dulynoted808.bsky.social•26 days ago

98%! I'll never forget that because that's *shareholders* not the board, not employees, f-ing shareholders. Good for them

I'm old enough to remember the right raving about how Obama was abusing executive orders but not a fucking peep from those traitors now

coatney.bsky.social•26 days ago

Costco praise is tough for me because I worked there for 8 years and it was a pretty shitty environment, but they do do a lot of good things like this I will admit.
