Costco is a private business.

Publicly trade company.

Not a private business.

Different rules apply

Yes, you are correct about a publicly traded company being in a different legal category than a strictly private business. But I’m really not arguing from a legal point of view. If you respect the concept of property rights (and every conservative should), then you should respect the boundaries set by a property owner, or by the owner’s representatives.

Of course there are exceptions. Most of them are covered by federal law. For example, it would be illegal for a restaurant to put up a sign saying, “No veterans allowed”.

No they don’t - its a private business owned by shareholders - don’t like the rules, don’t shop there.
