Your argument would hold more weight if Costco encouraged or even complied with unions. Just because Costco is making sure it won’t be the subject of discrimination lawsuits does not make them the good guy here. I don’t care how many free samples and $1.50 hotdogs you get.
Also that’s a pretty reductive take on what @[email protected] posted. They were merely highlighting that the larger system in which Costco operates is exploitive. Not that Costco themselves were inherently evil.

So, they’re standing by their DEI policies. Good. They’re still anti-union. Bad.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Costco is the least scummy corporation, but they’re still a corporation.
