    Imagine being against diversity, equity, and inclusion. It’s like someone racist accusing you of not being racist and your reaction is to prove them wrong.

    I absolutely hate going to Costco because of the chaos involved, and my not needing things in bulk, but maybe I will have to frequent them more often.

      Depends on the store for me. I happen to live pretty equidistant from 3 Costcos and, in my experience, the richer the area the more people blocking isles with conversations, staring at the ceiling for dog knows what reason, or somehow managing to fuck up the checkout process.

        Same, I live in the nicer part of town and have the lowest tax rate in my city, but for Costco I go to the not as nice city next to me and their Costco is always so easy compared to ours.

        I completely agree about the rich area people blocking the isles too. Just pull off to the side.

        If I ever need to date again, one of the only tests I will perform is taking the person to Costco and giving them the cart. If they repeatedly block other people needlessly, then that’s all I need to know about how they respect other people.

        If they don’t take the cart back to the corral they won’t even get a ride home.

    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.

      I think it’s a good thing.

      Creating some sort of system to increase representation of underrepresented people is a good thing. The reasons for the existing underrepresentation are fictional, or systematic racism itself.

    “a proposal brought by a conservative think tank, the National Center for Public Policy Research”

    You already know it’s a shit recommendation.
