You can never put too much $$ into BJ's:banana:

[easilyscan 863]

I buy all my gold bars there. Just kidding, we don't have one in my town. If we did, I'd find an alternative.

[Drizzay 699]

I will still shop there.  There are more important things to worry about.

[Patented Phil 1,469]

I don’t do any business with Leftist companies like this.  Fock ‘em.  Plenty of alternatives.

[supermike80 1,804]

In the case of Costco, there is about 1 similar alternative for much of the country, and 2 for some markets.

Costco’s business model is pretty well regarded by the large majority of consumers, this isn’t an easily replaceable Bud Light situation.  Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

[TimHauck 2,622]

Costco: we want all of our employees to feel valued and respected, and to create opportunities for all.

many conservatives:  I’m cancelling my membership!!

I guess this presents an opportunity for a new Warehouse club to emerge.  MeritocraCity, Keeping prices down through the efforts of high-achieving employees.

Anyone who has employed more than ten folks, or worked in an environment employing more than ten folks is well aware that there are dolts and malingerers who should not be made to feel valued, they should be rooted out.

[Mike Hunt 261]

Probably a good thing.  The Costco I go twice a week to has zero black employees and only one hispanic that I have seen.

Its the unseen ones that worry me.  Invisibly hispanics, Lord knows what they might do.

Can @TimHauckor some other center-right conservative tell me the rules for when I'm supposed to boycott?  If I'm supposed to boycott every company that has some internal DEI policies, that seems like a lot of boycotts. 

 

[EternalShinyAndChrome 3,839]

Rats.  I love Costco.

Absolutely. But being a dolt and/or malingerer is colorblind. There are lazy stupid people of every nationality.

This guy “Robby Starbuck” seems to be anointing himself as the #1 anti-DEI crusader.  He says he had Costco in his sights, but wasn’t ready to expose them just yet. He does however support the proposed boycott now that this letter has come to light.

Here are a few others with at least 10k+ followers.  There are also posts by some of the 1million+ follower accounts such as “Andy Ngo” that don’t specifically say to boycott but are filled with replies of MAGA folk saying they will.

The boycott. I always join an anti-woke boycott. Especially for the stuff I don’t use.

So you're all in on participating in the Costco boycott though you don't shop there?

Do we need to explain how boycotts work to you? You seem to be fuzzy on a few details.

Perhaps he intended to purchase a membership so that he could then not use it.  That would show Costco.

Anyone here suffering from HTDS deserves an apology from HT. They wouldn't have this affliction unless exposed to his inane posts. He's the Wuhan lab of the GC.

We'll all be just fine without 4 gallons of shampoo & 2,000 aspirin

Add All State to the list as well.
