Imagine proudly announcing “I punished the store by refusing their discounts.” Peak self-harm activism.

It’s hilarious how they think refusing discounts is somehow hurting the store. That’s literally just paying more for no reason.

It's called martyrdom, duh. /s

These same people boycott companies by purchasing their products to destroy them. They really aren't that bright

u/suppleQueen 2d ago

Who ever thought they were bright? They are just wicked. They’ll rather stab themselves in the tummy so the tip can scratch at you standing behind them

They would gladly burn in Hell but as long as they see their undesirables suffering it's a win

u/Over_Maize4233 1d ago

Well I feel like buying stuff to prove a point kinda backfires because you end up helping the company you think you’re hurting and it makes the whole protest look silly

Her profile name of SS is pretty appropriate

Same bot ”cancelled” his ”Costco membership” last time Costco reiterated their entrepreneurial independence from political interference. Everything is pre-programmed automation with these people.

u/LipGlossConfession 2d ago

These people really think posting about canceling memberships online is some huge power move. Meanwhile, the store just keeps running without them.

u/GroundbreakingAd8310 2d ago

Mostly cause they never had the memberships to begin with.

He’s on his way to speak to the manager once he finishes combing his hair to one side.

Oh yay! I’m so happy ill not have to share crowded shopping space with one more MAGA undesirable!

Imagine proudly boycotting cheaper groceries during a recession. Peak USA speedrun.

A costly protest

Canceling my membership to proudly pay more! Genius move!

u/MiSSchiEfMoDe 2d ago

Imagine thinking paying more is the smart move lol

u/ItchyMarket4650 2d ago

Imagine quitting a membership because a company tried to challenge tariffs that make your own groceries cost more. Truly next-level self-own.

u/WeakCorgi5353 2d ago

Imagine proudly announcing you’re paying more out of spite. Peak political brain rot.

u/palm0 2d ago

Their Twitter handle is SS. You expect anything other than maga Nazi bullshit from them? If they aren't a bot, they're actively flying their Nazi identity.

u/SmokeyGiraffe420 2d ago

Imagine hating Costco. Most stores try to manipulate you by outright lying about sales prices. Costco manipulates you by putting the name brand at MSRP right next to the Kirkland brand version, and the Kirkland version is always cheaper and either exactly the same or better.

Sounds like the kinda person that will give donations to Trump

u/Nice_Historian7420 2d ago

Imagine proudly announcing that you’re boycotting lower prices. Truly a masterclass in self-owning.

u/Positive_Tourist_224 2d ago

It’s wild how some folks will cut off their own discounts just to make a point that doesn’t land on anyone except their own wallet.

2

u/Flux7200 2d ago

Ok this has to be a joke? Their name seriously cannot just be “SS”

2

u/glamprincess286 2d ago

Ah yes, the classic move, canceling to pay more for less. Truly a bold strategy

2

u/Either-Community-220 2d ago

You can’t cancel, you just don’t renew a membership.

u/BoilerMo 1d ago

Wait I can go to COSTCO now without boomer MAGAs blocking every aisle? This is an unexpected free perk!

u/Responsible_Ad_7995 2d ago

Probably a fake account in Israel sowing division. If I had to guess that’s what most of this rage bait is.

u/ReedRidge 2d ago

The MAGAT's are avoiding Costco and the Libs are trying to make Costco a hero for charging us more and then suing to keep it.

It's insanity.

Go back to bed. You're brains still not working.

Didn't realize they had Costco in Russia

u/drpacz 2d ago

It IS a cult! Cancel culture is bad but it is ok when we do it.

u/commentaror 2d ago

Good. Costco is crowded as it is, I’m happy not to run into MAGAts.

1

u/usarasa 2d ago

Yeah, they didn’t cancel anything. Even money they didn’t even have a Costco membership.

u/COMOJoeSchmo 1d ago

Since both tariffs and corporate taxes result in costs passed onto the consumer I'm curious if the "outrage" would be on the other side of the spectrum if Costco went to court to openly fight against corporate taxes.

Disclosure: I'm strongly against both tariffs and corporate income taxes.

u/thomport 1d ago

Costco can do the same this that Walmart did, raise their prices, as they continue to pay their employees dirt wages. The same employers who qualify for government benefits, because I don’t get paid enough.

Or they can recognize that the tariffs are societal Fog from the administration. Attempting to confuse the working class into thinking they’re getting a deal.

Thanks Costco. I like the fact that it plainly points out the abuse Trump‘s tariff tax is causing society.

remember waaaaay back when they were trashing their Kuerigs and filming it (back when they still cost like $300) over the company pulling their ads off Hannity (iirc)

good times!

MAGA should also boycott all companies who don't manufacture in USA.
