You should be shopping at Costco by default anyway. They are awesome. There are a ton of membership benefits beyond just shopping at the warehouse! (Costco Next, HVAC deals, auto financing, etc). You can sometimes pay for your entire membership with one transaction.
the current president is shitty, but the founder isnt, the current ceo is the reason behind some of the costcos decline in certain items. i suspect the new ceo is behind all this.
Ain’t got no Costco to go to personally. I go to a regional chain, but I am suspicious of the prices sometimes (why are the 12 packs of sodas often on sale for 14.88?)
I do the same but try to hit up Aldi instead of the regional brand. I know the regional brand has shitty practices regarding unions but sometimes I want name-brand products or things that Aldi just doesn’t carry due to their smaller footprint
TBF, Target largely brought this on themselves before the DEI stuff. They’re more expensive here than a proper dept store, and everything is locked in plastic and takes forever to get.
Is the goal general harm, or directed harm that may have a positive result? If Target changes course and takes a moral stand (even if that decision isn’t made for all the right reasons), that’s worth more than hurting Target and Walmart equally.
Yes im pissed at Target but if alll the extra sales are going to Walmart, that’s worse.
Costco has increased foot traffic for 13 consecutive weeks, so not a bad guess people are going there.

Costco also treat workers better.
Unfortunately Costco is just as shitty as all the rest of the huge american corporations. They’re just better at PR than most of the others.
Costco is the shiniest turd in the shit basket of mega grocery corporations. If I have to pick one, Im picking the best of the worst.
I’ve certainly seen worse rationalizations, cheers.

Makes sense, though I suppose there are riskier bets than accusing the person in charge of being the one responsible.

I was talking about the prices at the regional chain I go to, not at Costco.
I’m two hours from a Costco here in TN. I had a membership when I lived in Philly and loved it.
Looks like its down slightly too.

Can’t boycott what I already wasn’t using.
You were just ahead of the boycott curve!
yup, and eliminated your instore brands, for cheapflation and shrinkflationed items. now its replaced by dealworth items.
Nope both are being protested against.

I get that. And I hope that Target changes before it’s too late and you are correct.
Yeah this is a terribley stupid plan. Give Walmart a monopoly an objectively worse company
target was suppose to be where walmart refuse to build, basically it was a “bougie verison” of walmart.
