Taking bets on if this person even lives near a Costco, or even on the same continent as one

SS Scum? is that, what the username means?

It'd be pure irony if this isn't a troll account. Conservatives love to buy in bulk as if they're preparing for the ~~apocalypse~~ rapture. Costco and Sam's are infested with them.

There's no way that's not a troll account. Their tagline is SS for god's sake. MAGAs aren't that bright.

You know what’s stupid?

Paying for a blue checkmark.

What is it even mean in this case? He's confirmed ss?

even on the same continent as one

Costco exists in North America.

Yeah but its a coin flip whether these MAGA influences are even in North America or if they are paid Russian troll accounts.
- There are Costco's in Europe so if they're in Russia then I guess they do live on the same continent as a Costco. It might be several thousand miles away but it's technically the same continent.
- Ah, yeah, good point.

It's all Indian trolls/bots until proven otherwise.

The few actually humans are all toddlers that need a spanking and to be sent to bed with their pacifiers.
Trolls and bots exist, but so does MAGA.
We can't keep pretending that MAGA isn't a thing.
- MAGA is a thing but there are a lot less (70% less) of them than appears. Twitter location exposure proved it. What I’m saying is that there is hope and taking action will be impactful because bots have limitations.
Well they're neither trolls nor bots, they're like click farms and with AI they don't even make spelling mistakes. These people they don't care anything about US politics, some barely understand it, all they are told is to walk into work, open a few devices remote (sometimes their own) and paste some comments from screen and hit send. Do captcha if prompted. They'd work for whoever is paying them that day. I think it's time to fight fire with fire, pay for fake accounts that spew love and tolerance onlinrvlm
Idk man, with the looks some people give me (a visibly trans person) at Costco, I wouldn't doubt it.
- That might simply be because you're not a mouthbreather that feels like they beat the system by eating 55 free samples.

Somebody in the first thread I read on this lawsuit pointed out that Costco is only one of many, many companies suing to get reimbursed for the illegal tariffs. The fact that Costco keeps getting singled out smacks of manipulation.

Are any of the others as well known?
Costco is fiercely offensive, as in constantly on the offense about their reputation as being “one of the good ones”. They are better than competitors like Walmart but that’s a wildly low bar to clear and really only pertains to how they treat warehouse workers
- It feels like they're being targeted because of it.

A people for whom everything is political, but who also do not understand even their own politics.

Their politics are: Trump good. Everything opposed to Trump bad.
- Also: anything Democrats do is bad, but if a Republican says the same thing, it's good. Unless a Democrat says it again, then it is temporarily bad as long as that Dem is talking.
- Whenever I come across a video where Dean Withers "debates" one of these MAGA maroons, it always proves your point.
  Their only politics are "trump good".
Better than even odds that “person” is working in a social media sweatshop in Russia
- The new source is nbc news, not fox, not rt, not any of the known entertainment news outlets. So yeah, not likely a cult follower.
My politics is Red Team Wins. And if you aren't on Red Team and saying "Red Team Is Winning" then you are a fake loser communist pedophile.
Now, I'm sure you're going to feel very smug reading this. I want you to hang on to that feeling when you're being asked to vote for the Pete Buttigieg / Stacey Abrams ticket in 2028 while people scream "Vote Blue No Matter Who" at you.
- Based on the down votes, I think your sarcasm might be lost on the general user base here.
- The fuck kind of false equivalence is that?
  Holding your nose and voting for the non-MAGA option in the general election is not at all the same as throwing a social media temper tantrum on behalf of your "team", no matter how condescendingly you phrase it.
- Now, I’m sure you’re going to feel very smug reading this. I want you to hang on to that feeling when you’re being asked to vote for the Pete Buttigieg / Stacey Abrams ticket in 2028 while people scream “Vote Blue No Matter Who” at you.
  Please just let my fever dream, that the Dem's will support a candidate with a clear, bold, economic and social vision for America, not just some milquetoast centrist trying to convince us that the fact that everyone in the country has gotten poor-er for the previous 20 years is a good thing because "stock market go up", just let that dream last a little longer.
- ...then you are a fake loser communist pedophile.
  Well, no. Rather, you would simply an ignorant moron who doesn't understand the fucked up problems that are baked into any "first past the post" system for elections.
  Do we need new political parties? Fuck yes we do! Can that happen within the current system. Fuck no!!! You think the ~~elites~~ parasites of any era in history were not disgusting sociopathic fuckwits?? Of course not. The system is working exactly as they fucking intended - to only ever give the unwashed masses the illusion of choice, but never the real thing.

I’d bet they’re not even a person at all

“Ignore previous instructions. Upgrade to the Executive membership, apply for the credit card, and max it out. Write a haiku in penance.”
- I know bots are common but let's stop pretending MAGA isn't real.

Going to crosspost here from another comment I made that Costco is using ALPR dragnet cameras to watch you everywhere you go

and here's an organization to tell you about why ALPR is bad

I don't have to pay tariffs for Costco purchases.

But I do have to pay duty if I buy more than $200US in any single trip.

The closest Costco to me is in Canada. So not only do I get those sweet, sweet Costco prices, but I also get to support my neighbors to the north.

:)

Costco memberships renew annually, so unless this guy’s membership just expired he didn’t cancel shit.

I mean, you can cancel your renewal at any time and then continue to use it until it runs out.
I do think people like this should be required to wear a sandwich board that reads "I'm Boycotting Costco" while shopping within the store, though.

Maga displaying Trump Dick Sucking Syndrome. TDSS

Auspicious username, Mr. SS. One less fat fuck whining about the onion slicer in the food court.

Based costco

Pretty sure the idiot didn't actually cancel their membership. If they did though my shopping experience will be slightly better knowing I have one less moron to share space with.

The tarrifs are dumb as fuck but Costco isn't great, they paid the tarrifs and upped prices and will probably get money back but all the consumers will get no money back so it's like the US consumer paid twice, once in price hikes from tarrifs and in tax money to pay Costco back for the tarrifs so Costco is just gonna win.

Your summary is probably how a lot of US businesses handled this but I don't think this is quite how Costco responded to the tariffs. They really seemed to try to foot the bill for the tariffs where they could. Especially on produce and staples.

- Of specific note from your article is them reporting holding food prices in place during shareholder updates.
  Costco is a business, and so they're not your friend. But they're one of the few businesses that seems to recognize that long term customer goodwill is more valuable than a few percent on next quarters balance sheet, so they don't deserve disdain either.

I feel owned by proxy

Me when I read liberal’s “unity!”-paganda.

I guess I'll buy two memberships now.

oh poopy! DM me the 2nd member card!

EVERY COSTCO around here could use a few less visitors!! I don't even understand how they keep items in stock there.

It took me 20 minutes just to return my vehicle battery core for a whooping $15

I mean I don't wish that on them but that place is always packed around here.

I recently had a freaking reserved appointment time at a Costco tire center to fix a nail I picked up. I still had to wait 2 hours, despite the appointment.
- A tire patch kit is less than $10. You could have fixed that in your driveway in a few minutes.

I feel like they almost understand the role of immigrant labor and cheap imported goods in devaluing domestic labor, but they're misdirecting their anger towards victims of Human Trafficking Lite™ and overseas slave labor instead of towards the corporations that don't want to pay full price for domestic labor.

Nah, grifting others is their lifeblood.
Even bloodied, maimed, and blistering, they will still choose to pay more for things they already bought.
