In light of my 2013 #MacBookPro being 12 years old, and still working like a champ, I’ve been trying to find the right time to replace it as my work driver machine. That was yesterday. #costco tossed $200 off the top, so that fit #AppleCare perfectly. So I transferred my digital life over to that. Now I have to clean up the old machines, including my Mom’s derelict MacBook Pro.

Here's a tip #Doordash:

If you limit me to buying only TWO $100 gift cards at #Costco...
...I'll just buy another TWO $100 discounted giftcards from #UberEats instead.

That additional $200 should have been your revenue, Doordash.

What a stupid f'ing policy.

@Bette @GottaLaff also #Costco actually treats their staff well and pays a living wage.

Costco and Target took opposite positions after the Trump administration began to pressure private companies to ditch diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Costco resisted and reaffirmed its support for DEI, while Target dumped its programs. So how has it affected foot traffic for the two chains? Retail Brew takes a look.

Via Keith Boykin: "Target foot traffic falls for the eighth consecutive week after the retailer ended its DEI programs. Meanwhile at Costco, which kept its DEI programs, foot traffic has been up for 13th straight weeks."

Under the watch of Ken Theriault, Costco's country manager for Japan, the American membership-model wholesaler has flourished in the country, where a trip to one of its warehouses is a weekend pastime. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/03/31/companies/costco-japan-interview/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #costco #kentheriault #retailers

Do I know anyone on here who has a #Costco membership?

Sitting in the #Brentwood #Costco parking lot. They open 10.

Filled up my daily driver at gas station which is huge. 32 pumps. No line like at other Costco gas stations.

Premium only $4.80 compared with $5.30 where I normally fill up. Just saved $4.50 filling up here instead.

Store looks huge too. Supposed to be the biggest Costco in CA. Will see in a few mins.

Quick. I’m a rightfully petty and resentful American and #92Percent’er. How can I buy #Canadian products directly from #Canada? What’s the best way of buying directly from #Mexico? How do I give you money directly.

Also, I wonder if #costco could help.

Send ideas.

Ummm. Perhaps #Asheville will get their #Costco afterall. This comes out a day after NCDOT deep-sixes all the lane-widening on the roads around where this will go in.

This is what #DEI does to a company. #Costco in #Kalamazoo. This place is jammed packed. No parking at all, and a waiting line for shopping trollies. I find this wonderful. Yes. This is what DEI does. If only shareholders could see, anything at all beyond their bigotry and hate. Mmmm money, does that aroma entice you?
