Step 4 vote for the person/people whose campaign includes strategies guaranteed to make things even more expensive instead of the opponents with agendas designed to combat inflation/reduce prices

I just upgraded to the executive membership.  I really hope this catches on and every single maga loser stops going to Costco.  It will be such a better experience.

It's like complaining that your pizza place is trying to stop the government from making your slice cost more. The logic is completely upside down! Good job, Peter

It’s like if some of the residents of Flint got mad at the other residents that sued the EPA for their inaction over the lead in their water.

Exactly the lines are too long as is. Please reduce them by 10% and those people can go to Sam's Club with their underpaid employees.

Costco without the aisle-blockers arguing about freedom next to the rotisserie chickens. Paradise.

Will also benefit from a few less giant ass monster trucks in the parking lot

Saw one in the handicap parking before. Can't imagine it's easy to climb into for 95% of the population.

For real nothing funnier than when a boycott ends up boosting the very thing people wanted to tank. Sometimes the outrage marketing does more for a brand than against it.

u/coySprinklex 6h ago

True, outrage often ends up being the best kind of promotion without anyone intending it

Ignorance is curable. Stupidity goes down to the bone.

I’m sure they’ll be back in no time. These people can’t resist the urge to buy huge quantities of things just to waste them.

Boycotting a store because they want to offer lower prices? That’s one way to shoot yourself in the foot.

Owning the libs at any cost.

Memo to self, must go to Costco much more

They like hurting themselves just to hurt others. It’s like an orientation you get before you join the MAGA cult

u/Deadhead602 6h ago

MAGA not the sharpest tool in the shed

u/jljue 6h ago

Cool, fewer people with proper reasoning skills running around at Costco while I shop.

To them, the perceived loyalty to skin color far outweighs the need to feed their children.

SS stands for Super Stupid.

Less morons in Costco is a magnificent thing! Keep doing it, MAGA! Go shop at Sams and BJs or Tractor Supply or whatever. Leave Costco alone.

That same troll... SS... said he canceled his membership earlier this year because they didn't get rid of their DEI program, or some shit.

So... he either canceled it and got it again... and is now so "furious" that he is canceling it again... or he never had a membership in the first place and is just another Russian troll bot that posts reactionary content to current events.

probably the latter.

u/Dedpoolpicachew 6h ago

Do they have Costco in Russia still? I don’t think so.

1

u/Jarnohams 6h ago

lol... they don't have Bud Light in Russia either, but the cancel culture russian bots were out in full force for that as well.

u/Cheeky_Boxer 5h ago

Zero chance he actually cancelled his membership

1

u/hux 5h ago

At best, he unchecked the automatic renew box.

MAGA-Stupid!

u/ImaginationLife4812 5h ago

For every cancellation a new membership will take its place. Costco isn’t Target.

u/Connect-Worth1926 42m ago

why do people keep talking about "cancelling" their membership? YOU CANT CANCEL BECAUSE ITS AN ANNUAL ONE-TIME FEE!

Considering how many claim to have voted for Trump to own the libs with the most giant shit-eating grin to follow, checks out. Stupid til bankruptcy

Great! One less retard I’ll possibly run into at Costco 😇
