    “while Costco was seeing a direct impact from tariffs on imports of some fresh food items from Central and South America, it decided not to increase prices ‘because they are key staple items’ for its customers.”

    Is… Is this a capitalistic megacorp… Acting like a good guy?

    I maintain doubt… Unless… 👉👈

      There are far crappier megacorps than Costco. They’ve actually managed to turn treating their workers and customers right into a successful business model.

      As a counterpoint to the unlimited corporate greed you usually see, their corporate policy puts a cap on their overall profits to 14%. Any excess they roll back into lower prices for their members.

      Yeah, Costco is surprisingly not scummy under its current leadership. They and Arizona are the only two I don’t have any major issues with.
