Costco is pretty much the only “good” giant conglomerated multinational corporation it seems.

    I just wish, Taco, personally, along with his estate/family could be sued, directly.

    Not that I think it will go anywhere in either case, but it’d be nice to have him personally held to account.

    I sure as hell hope all his ill-gotten gains can be later seized, even if they are in the pockets of Uday/Qusay or Jared and Vanky.

    Counter point to all the pro-costco sentiment, they’ve implemented what looks to be flock cameras on their properties. Its in their Privacy Policy, look for “ALPR”.

    I’m a vendor for Costco. Don’t let another big corporation fool you. They just dump all the problems on their suppliers and vendors while staying as hands off as possible. It’s just another mega corporation that has done a better job on its public image than other similar companies. I have to pay a ton of tariffs on the brand of product I’m required to sell by Costco. This lawsuit isn’t targeting those tariffs at all. Just the stuff Costco sells of the shelf. The vendors never get any support from Costco.

      Why should they get support? Isn’t that literally their job, as vendors? That’s what they do, vend. They can not sell at Costco if they don’t want to. They can get a other job if they aren’t up for it.

        Costco’s contracts and policies are written to protect Costco first, the customer second, and to screw the vendor if any problems arise. They require we sell a specific brand of problem that has many quality issues and expect me to go fix all the problems for free because that’s how the contract is written. They make a lot of promises to the customer on my behalf. I absolutely expect them to provide support when there are product quality issues and an unhappy customer because of it. That is literally Costco’s only contribution to this system and they consistently fail at it by choice. They ignore all problems, expecting the vendor to deal with it out of fear of losing their Costco contract. I hate working for minimal profit margin for this company, but the ownership here has fallen into the trap of letting Costco become their big lead generator. As long as I keep get paid to go fix things instead of actually making money, it’s not my problem. It’s just frustrating watching the big corps screw the little guy and then watching the little guy take it like that’s normal.

      They actually may. They keep records tied to membership number and already have a system set up for yearly rebates.

      If anyplace would they might. They got a notable boost in traffic just by explicitly saying they wouldn’t drop their DEI policy when that was his favorite tantrum.
