    As much as this is basically an ad, I agree.

    Support businesses that don’t take any shit because then you know they actually care about providing a service in addition to making money, as opposed to strictly the latter no holds barred.

      Costco was very clear with the tariffs that they would eat the cost and just sue because they felt it was illegal. Low and behold, it was illegal, and they are getting a refund after not raising costs like everyone else. And their customers loved them for it.

      This is actually their entire buisness model as well. They don’t really make much money from their products. They make almost 100% profit from their memberships. If I remember right, over 2/3 of their total profit comes from membership revenue. So if they piss people off and make them cancel their membership, that would really fuck them over.

      Who would’ve thought that doing the right thing is good for public sentiment.
