Potential Hot Take:
If, if Costo wins this...
I think they might actually be the only major... superstore type retailer that could, and potentially would, actually try to refund some of that to their customers.
The membership dues. Just... refund them to people, maybe for more than one year.
And/Or... they know what all their members bought.
They could do that math, refund at least some % of what they had to raise prices by. Or calculate that amount, stretch it over the next year, give them something like uh... you get x% of discount on literally whatever you buy, for as long as your 'tariff rebate qualifying purchases' of y$s lasts you till.
Of all the major retailers, they're arguably the least evil.
And... its also arguably quite a good business move.
"Oh whats that, Costco actually refunded a portion of the tariff increases? Huh, maybe I will get a membership."
narrator.: They would in fact, continue to shop at costco.
look, I'm willing to pay more for groceries if it means others have to pay more. Fuck you, I got mine. Or something?
SS Scum? is that, what the username means?
You know what’s stupid?
Paying for a blue checkmark.
~~Peter also paid for that to be fair~~
nvm, I get it
What is it even mean in this case? He's confirmed ss?
It'd be pure irony if this isn't a troll account. Conservatives love to buy in bulk as if they're preparing for the ~~apocalypse~~ rapture. Costco and Sam's are infested with them.
I think you'll find that preparing for the Rapture is kind of the opposite from shopping at Costco.
Please note: I normally would not accept BuzzFeed as a reputable source for news, but I think the one thing they actually do well is reporting on social media trends.
Perhaps. I'm related to a family of magats, and they love shopping in bulk. Many of their friends do too.
Many of them have this mindset that at some point everything in the world is going to break down and that they're going to have to bunker down in their houses.
This is where my thoughts come from. I've never actually heard it correlated to the rapture itself though, but I figure that's probably up there on the list.
less crowded. yay
There's no way that's not a troll account. Their tagline is SS for god's sake. MAGAs aren't that bright.
Clearly showing how smooth brained he is. Look at this projection. https://xcancel.com/ss_scmb/status/1992330534064918929#m "Non US accounts always in our politics" want to bet its a russian bot account?
Staff Sergeant?
Normally abbreviated “SSgt” or “SSG”
Idk I know people don't always understand the implications when picking their user names, even if they do hold fascist views. And sometimes they do.
It's all Indian trolls/bots until proven otherwise.
Trolls and bots exist, but so does MAGA.
We can't keep pretending that MAGA isn't a thing.
MAGA is a thing but there are a lot less (70% less) of them than appears. Twitter location exposure proved it. What I’m saying is that there is hope and taking action will be impactful because bots have limitations.
bots can't hit the streets. bots can't put up counter propaganda in your town. bots can't talk to your neighbors face to face

Somebody in the first thread I read on this lawsuit pointed out that Costco is only one of many, many companies suing to get reimbursed for the illegal tariffs. The fact that Costco keeps getting singled out smacks of manipulation.
