Costco reps were in the company cafeteria today seeking sign ups at corporate rates.

Told them to kiss my large, white behind.

Costco was reminded that it’s in business to serve its customers, not the personal interests of an apparently partisan CEO. This is economics.

I’d figure why not let the market reward or punish it, if I was such a devout capitalist.

Sam's Club is about the same. I think I'll take my business over there.

“They lost me as a steady customer.”

We have both Costco and Sams Club in the area. We will be spending at lot more time and money in Sam’s Club now that Costco has shown there true colors.

It sounds a bit ironic coming from a crowd that likes to pun about having some cheese with someone’s whine.

So all complaining is bad?

Really?

Is that your point?

It just seemed that the conservative answer would be to let Costco punish itself, and then issue some well chosen bons mots when it does.

Hey Costco, did you really send those books back or did you burn them in the parking lot?

I bought my copy from Amazon. Costco and its’ former boss can go suck an egg.
