    Costco has increased foot traffic for 13 consecutive weeks, so not a bad guess people are going there.

      You should be shopping at Costco by default anyway. They are awesome. There are a ton of membership benefits beyond just shopping at the warehouse! (Costco Next, HVAC deals, auto financing, etc). You can sometimes pay for your entire membership with one transaction.

        Costco also treat workers better.

        Unfortunately Costco is just as shitty as all the rest of the huge american corporations. They’re just better at PR than most of the others.

        In the past 48 hours, Costco’s upper management has escalated its illegal and reckless behavior. The company expelled union representatives from stores, harassed and intimidated workers for wearing Teamsters buttons and attire, sent employees home, and even changed locks on union bulletin boards after the company removed literature and blocked the Teamsters from providing future updates.

          Costco is the shiniest turd in the shit basket of mega grocery corporations. If I have to pick one, Im picking the best of the worst.

            I’ve certainly seen worse rationalizations, cheers.

          the current president is shitty, but the founder isnt, the current ceo is the reason behind some of the costcos decline in certain items. i suspect the new ceo is behind all this.

            Makes sense, though I suppose there are riskier bets than accusing the person in charge of being the one responsible.

      Ain’t got no Costco to go to personally. I go to a regional chain, but I am suspicious of the prices sometimes (why are the 12 packs of sodas often on sale for 14.88?)

        I do the same but try to hit up Aldi instead of the regional brand. I know the regional brand has shitty practices regarding unions but sometimes I want name-brand products or things that Aldi just doesn’t carry due to their smaller footprint

          I was talking about the prices at the regional chain I go to, not at Costco.

      I’m two hours from a Costco here in TN. I had a membership when I lived in Philly and loved it.
