Walmart, John Deere, Tractor Supply and other companies are changing or walking away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in response to right-wing pressure. But Costco believes DEI improves its business and is standing behind its efforts.
Costco also typically sets a ceiling of 15% on product markup, which is supposedly lower than many others in the industry.
I don’t frequent Costco, but at least as a megacorp they’re definitely at the bottom of my shitlist.
