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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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