Shop at Costco instead of Walmart

[DUI_Offender]

Walmart donated millions to the Trump campaign.  Costco donated nothing.  Yet another reason to get a Costco membership.

I do so already. However, it is due to price and location not politics

It is amazing how much garbage you can pack into such a short statement. 

Costco deals in bulk items and a more limited selection of goods so that they can offer cheaper prices. Their more direct competitor would be Sams Club, not Walmart. 

Walmart did not donate millions to Trump. Some of the Walton family did, but then some of that family also contributed money against Trump and to both Democrats and Republicans.

This is just another reason you Libbies are publicly ridiculed and why you lost the election.

This idea is so childishly pathetic.

Don't know about Canada, except you make invalid and unwarranted ASSumptions.

Boycotting retailers when you don't like their actions is a time honored tradition in AMERICA. Duh

It's a childish and pathetic tradition of you limp Libbies.

Conservatives have the maturity to shop where we want regardless of political contributions.

both Costco & Walmart are much beloved here behind the Iron Curtain of Canadian Communism

Costco gas is the cheapest by far, and I buy all my clothes at Costco, designer brands at clearance prices

and I don't have a family doctor due to shortages in the Canadian socialist healthcare system

yet I still have the Walmart clinic, and the doctor there is just as good as any family doctor I've ever had

God bless America, coming to our aid in the darkest hours

You don't know what you're talking about but keep pretending you do. Over and over and over again.

My dislike of Wal-Mart comes back to my time working there. It was undoubtedly the worst job that I have ever had. That is saying alot considering I have worked in fast food, restaurants, and janitorial. It was fairly individual though and someone at another store in the same position (unloading trucks) may not have had the same terrible experience.

most of the employees of Walmart here are newly arrived immigrants

they desperately need the job, so they don't begrudge it

particularly considering the third world conditions they are coming from

Costco on the other hand does pay considerably more with better working conditions by far

so most of the Costco employees are native born Canadians

When I worked there (2005), the staff was roughly 95% white. This was in Boise, Idaho by the way. It was a "training" store. So if you were training to be a store manager in Fort Morgan, Colorado (just an example) then you came to this store and trained. This resulted in us having the store manager, 2 assistant managers, and 6 training managers on staff. So we were always under the microscope of someone. Without fail, they were always trying to flex their managerial muscle. Mostly it was for show. They had no idea how lucky they were. To unload 4000 pieces of loose freight in 4.5 hours.. you have to be moving at a very high rate. Yet they had to complain and give us "talks".

Boise... is going blue. Major league population growth and unlike the past.. it is not the old and retired. It is the younger generation that is coming. The old, sleepy farm town of the past is no longer. I will be there in 2 weeks.

I am just reporting factual data. I do not live there so they can be what they want to be. All i know is that ada county was solid red in the 80's. George H Bush received 83 % of the votes in the county. While Trump won in 2024.. he received 53.8 % while Harris 43.4%. the margin was even closer in 2020. The county is only going to continue to grow.. it has water, space, and health care.

Not really. It's more of a time-honored tradition on the left. Occasionally you see it on the right but rarely. It's usually just a way of somebody to cry baby and pretend that they're actually doing something when in reality they're not

Clearly you're upset. I'll run to Walmart and get you a Hallmark card.

To be fair, Disney and AB took pretty big hits for their woke bs.

Oh, it'll be easy for me to boycott the didn't donates. Especially In-And-Out. Californian's have no earthly idea on how to make a hamburger. They absolutely suck at it. I hate McDonald's, but I would absolutely choose McDonald's over IAO any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

To be honest, though, I don't boycott businesses for supporting a candidate or not supporting a candidate. That is a right that they have and, frankly, is an integral party of a democratic republic. We have to let the first amendment be what it is. That means, sometimes, people or companies have a different opinion on what the right direction for this country is. Let them donate how they want.

But don't eat at IAO. Gawd that place is awful. Come on people, have some standards.

Sure. But the ones before that were the attempt to punish the french by not buying french fries and renaming them freedom fries, and before that there was nothing    So while there have been a couple of instances more recently after severe provocation in the case of Disney, it's not exactly a long and storied history

Generally speaking I feel the same way although to be honest I do get fed up with businesses getting into politics. Are you in business to do business with me or are you in business to be a political voice? If Coca-Cola wants to take his profits and support Kamala harris and I don't, Then they do risk me deciding that I'm not going to give them the money to do that. I think businesses should stay neutral and just be businesses.

But I certainly wouldn't blame a business owner. Somebody has earned their money and they want to spend that money on a political group then that is absolutely 100% their right.
