Costco is pretty much the only “good” giant conglomerated multinational corporation it seems.
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.
You expect Costco to sue on behalf of your company for tariffs paid by your company?
No I don’t. I’m just pointing out that Costco’s only concern is Costco.
Any company’s main concern is the company itself, why wouldn’t it be?
And now we have arrived at the tragedy of the commons. Why should anyone care about common interests over themselves?
Well you always have to help yourself before you can help others otherwise you don’t have resources or the capability.
It’s why they instruct you to put on your oxygen mask first in the plane before helping others.
Yes.
I’m not expounding too much on how, but I know you’re correct. Costco is mildly better than other retailers to their warehouse staff, and even that is just done for the image/reputation which is where the real value in Costco exists.
What?
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”.
Are they then going pass the money on to the consumers? Because no fucking way did they eat those tariffs taxes.
And that fuck up that they allow Flock on their property.

It is in fact something new. A security camera, or red light camera is not connected to a national database that anyone with a subscription to that database can access. Flock Cameras cost something to the tune of $2.5k per year per camera. Multiply that by 10-100x, and thats tens to hundreds of thousands of your tax dollars being used to fingerprint you. They allow the customer to search the database utilizing AI, tracking your every move via car & facial recognition. They are a dragnet security half measure that will get people killed. They’ve already been used to stalk citizens and arrest people seeking legal abortion.
don’t think this issue won’t eventually affect you, unless youre one of the people using it.
(And yes, Lowes and Home Depot have deployed them as well. Ive subsequently stopped shopping at those stores.)

Sweet. And then Costco will give us that money since we covered that cost. Start checking the mailboxes :) /s
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.
