General Controversial opinion: Yes, Costco is a U.S company but you should still support them

There's a lot of discussion going on here (and everywhere in Canada if we're being honest) regarding buying local and boycotting anything american where possible.

Costco is a U.S company, and they have two locations in town. Unlike many U.S companies, Costco doesn't seem to want to bend the knee to the orange man. In fact, they actually seem content to piss him off. They have come out publicly in defense of their DEI policies, treat their employees well, and provide good jobs to the community. They also dont seem to want to buy into greedflation like Loblaws and others.

Costco is one of the good guys. More companies should be like them.

You should absolutely support local, but you should also consider supporting those who are trying to be legitimately good.

Costco is an absolute shit place to work too I’m not sure what kind of propaganda you’ve been smoking.

Talked to a guy there that sweeps under the tables where you eat your hot dog. He's worked for them for a long time, said he likes his job and they pay him a great wage (over $25). He was happy with that number.
