Started switching away from all of their stores last month in anticipation. I try to get everything I can from Costco, and use FreshCo for everything else.
Saying farewell to Zehrs will be easy but I could never give up my beloved Costco!
Costco are known for treating their staff unusually well compared to other retailers, so I think that's fine.
worked at costco for a year. It was great. full of old timers, and lots of respect for the staff.
100%. They're the only ones making a decent rotisserie chicken these days, and it's only $8!?
My mom bought a 50% off rotisserie chicken from Zehrs yesterday that looked shrivelled and disgusting...7 dollars after the half off 😳. Managed to convince her to join the boycott at least!
I’d wager it is, or was, a loss leader. Its position at the very end of the store has to be strategic to make you look at everything else on the way.
Boycotts work if you isolate one company or one brand .... then they would either be forced to change ... or go out of business.
Once one company or brand is severely affected or goes under, then everyone moves on to a new target.
