Imagine businesses hiring people based on the local community they serve? Imagine drawing from the community so customers can interact with people who share their ethnicity and culture? Imagine a business open to feedback from locals to better serve their community?
That’s Costco, and every other company that refuses to be bullied by white supremacists.
This combined with the “I’ll fucking kill you if you raise the price of the hotdog” makes them my favorite.
You don’t have to act like a dickhead, even when you’re allowed to.
It was the companies choice to start them as well. Public opinion tilting against the programs means most will cut ties. Corporations don’t care about blue and red, only green
Costco staying loyal to their bulk-packaged morals.
Costco often stocks ethnic import food stuff in bulk. Some of their best customers are minorities. DEI literally effects their bottom line and they are pretty motivated not to give people the impression they are hostile to their own customers.
Y’all gonna learn that this was a shareholder vote proposal, and had t gone the other way can absolutely force them to change or end policies.
It is rather terrifying that all it takes is a think tank submitting the proposal to force a board vote for messaging… but that is all it took.
It’s also hilarious to watch them “we should boycott” then multiple replies “but I like costco”
Costco is the G.O.A.T. Pays their employees a decent wage, their customers love them and they refuse to increase their hod dog prices.
Welp about to go ahead and get a costco membership card.
Good guy Costco.
This should strengthen their already successful ability to attract and retain quality people.
A quick note for those who only see skin color in this DEI conversation:
This will include all your WHITE, DISABLED AMERICANS WHO CAN’T GET JOBS ANYWHERE ELSE.
Welcome to the hatred you asked for, 🇺🇸
Edit: It wasn’t just color (Diversity) but also Equity and Inclusion for ALL Americans that you voted *against*, you complete and utter morons!
When it comes to costco I always wonder if its a company decision or a hotdog boss decision?
Forcing no but be sure that any company thats getting any federal funding will see that funding cut if they go against trump costco just doesnt give fuck very little the gov can do against them
The more i learn about Costco, the more i regret that there’s none in my current backwater part of Canada.
But again i regret moving here for ap many more reasons, so yea.
Don’t let this distract you form the fact that costco is an anti Union company. They’ve expelled uion representatives from stores, they’ve been harrasing and intimidating workers for wearing union buttons and refusing to bargain in good faith with the teamsters.
Can someone give me other stores to support alongside Costco?
Time to get a Costco membership
Most conservatives don’t have one near them anyway sucks to suck
I kept reading that as “delivery policies” and I was getting pissed off
You seen how hard this bastard fights for a hot dog? Go ahead, come at Costco. FAFO.
It’s nice to see at least one megacorp not bending the knee.
So very true unfortunately
Well what the hell is a diversity policy? Common sense?
Where i work they make us take a course once a year on company diversity and anti racism. The course is honestly a waste of time cause again we’re grown adults this is stuff you learn in elementary school.
Treat others how you want to be treated and report someone if they’re doing something wrong.
Sure but they are basically hitting ba k at the president
“Welcome to Costco. I love you.” rings even more true now
I love Cosco. Just when I thought they couldn’t possibly raise the bar any further they go and take a stand against hate. Fucking love this company.
We need more companies, people, organizations, and institutions to stand up and get loud about not accepting hate or following those who promote it.
In this Trump administration you will see extremism and hate groups causing civil unrest. This time they will act with impunity after the Jan 6 pardon.
The best way to combat this is for those who stand against hate to let it be known loud and clear.
One of the executive orders Trump put out had wording that may impact DEI practices of private businesses. It seems like some companies are being preemptive before they get sued and people point to that executive order.

It’s DEI if the person is nonwhite but somehow the nepotism diaper Donald who paints himself orange isn’t DEI?
🤔
The same Costco that is about to have its largest labor strike in its history because they belittled the collective bargaining agreement process… yeah..
If I didn’t already have a Costco membership, I’d go get one. Good on them!
Wrong sub. No comeback here.
