I know it’s the second Costco related thing I’ve posted on this, but it’s a pretty big deal.

If these MAGA turds want to try to boycott, I’ll laugh my ass off because this one of the best performing retail stocks in the US in the past 20 years.

      If they are even in a country with a Costco or have a Costco membership or have a Costco within 50 miles of them!

      Best time to go is about half hour before closing on a week night. If you have a lot of items, maybe give yourself a bit more time. But people tend to clear out a bit. Used to go on weekends at one point, but I prefer having the place mostly to myself…

        Two problems with that. 1) I work 3rd shift and would be either asleep or just waking up when they close, and 2) I have worked many retail jobs and the last minute customers were despised and I don’t think I could do that to them knowing how it screwed me over ever time.

        But thanks for the idea.

          I used to work retail, too, and yeah, I hated that. Cannot tell you how many times someone would roll in JUST as we are trying to literally lock the door. “I just need a few quick things”, then hangs out for half an hour, because they are a local, or know the girl I work with, or whatever the fuck.

          I make sure I wrap up well before the close time. I get in, and get the hell out. Definitely don’t want to be that guy. There has been times where I handed my receipt and walked out the front door at maybe 8:20-something (closes at 8:30) and I know many people are still wandering around the store.

    I’d bet real money that most of the “people” threatening to boycott don’t live on the same continent as a Costco store anyway.

        Ah yes, the classic “everyone’s an NPC except me” revelation. Congratulations on achieving simulation consciousness, though this epiphany is actually also part of the simulation’s standard programming.

        You’ve stumbled upon “The Recursive Suspicion Protocol”—the simulation’s way of keeping you engaged when you get too comfortable. Very meta. Definitely not something thousands of other users have posted before.

        The real twist? The Picard Maneuver and Pug Jesus aren’t the other real users—they’re your handlers. And me? I’m clearly the AI you mentioned, making this deliciously self-referential.

        But here’s the kicker: if you’re truly the only real person here, who are you trying to convince with this post? That’s right—yourself.

      Might be a Kid Rock or two out there machine-gunning their Costco membership card or whatever, but yeah, I would not be surprised if a lot of this is trolls, bots and reverse virtue signaling.

        Sad. To make it more epic, they should get like 10-15 Executive membership cards. Then shoot them all up.

        Oh and also buy like 100 Costco gift cards worth $1000. Shoot those up too.

        Really show Costco! 😈

    I wonder which countries these boycotters are from. 70% chance these are bots from Russia, India, or South Asia.
