Purchase the book somewhere else.
Send Costco a copy of the receipt.
why would you do that? I’d prefer to show them that it pays to listen to their customers, and that the backlash worked.
Leaving aside that Costco’s top officers are liberals, they ARE businessmen first. It made no sense for the publisher to put the books on the Costco shelves a month before they started their promotional campaign and release of the movie. Costco’s whole business plan is based on high volume. Period.
