Costco is up because of frontloading. It will probably be down before long too. Nt Quixote1818 Apr 2025 #13
Everyone else frontloaded too, this is because people didn't stop shopping there like WM and Target uponit7771 Apr 2025 #19

And purchased a few shares of Costco stock as well. Perhaps the knee-bending CEO's will take notice of poor decisions that are not helping their bottom lines!

when I first got back.. one of the women there said when they moved here they got a home close to Costco. That's how much she loved it.

I take a short Shuttle bus. I'm going Tuesday to get Poi and Bananas.

As a single woman with limited income I can’t justify the cost. I don’t need huge amounts of things or the cost of membership.

Toilet paper, canned softdrinks. You and I sound like we have similar buying habits.

So glad they are doing well. If you are a member you can also order most items online as a substitute for Amazon. I have not missed Amazon since I cancelled Prime.

15. Last week my daughter called

Apr 2025

Wife and I were going out somewhere, daughter asked, “is Dad wearing Costco clothes?”

In fact it was only the shirt and pants.

You get pants or shorts for under $20, $35 if you want the Levi brand.

Shirts for $10 to $15 dollars!

Just stay away from the Greg Norman brand, he heads up LIV golf and is just generally a huge asshole.

16. Some companies correctly see DEI as a competitive advantage

It's not just lip service to them or even just image boosting so the public will shop there. Many companies actually believe that DEI makes them stronger, more agile, more able to adapt. With a more diverse set of skills and leaders, companies can recognize threats and opportunities better than less diverse companies. It's something these companies have built into them, it's something they not only believe in, but it's something they can measure the gains from.

To many modern companies, its not just about being fair and equitable, DEI is also about winning.
