Al Sharpton Gives Costco the Kiss of Death

[ChloeTzang]

Costco and its shareholders voted last week to stick to their diversity, equity and inclusion policies. The vote was seen as an early test of investor views about the value of corporate DEI programs, which many companies added or beefed up starting in 2020 amid the Black Lives Matter movement. More than 98 percent of the shareholders voted against examining DEI policies on Thursday. Ahead of the vote, retail expert Neil Saunders said that Costco takes the view that its various programs have helped it to build a strong business. The decision comes after major companies such as Walmart, Ford, John Deere, and Tractor Supply bowed to pressure and rowed back on their DEI commitments.

Al Sharpton responded by leading 100 members of his National Action Network through the Harlem Costco to spend their money in a show of gratitude for the decision. But the move has been sharply criticized online due to Sharpton's divisive reputation. Some critics called his involvement as the 'kiss of death' for Costco. "If Al Sharpton shows up, you’re most definitely on the wrong side of history," a Costco customer said, while another described him as a 'chaos agent.'

Be interesting to see if Costco gets Bud Lighted significantly enough to change their views. Personally, it's actually easier for me to go Walmart rather than Costco so I guess I'll make the switch. I'm not going to shop anywhere that Al Sharpton supports. For me, that IS the kiss of death.

Back East, I ain't driving across town to shop at Costco. Out West, I don't think there is one. There is a BJ's Back East which is kinda close, but I gave up on those kinds of stores because I don't buy any product packaged like they do. I don't need 5 pounds of cheese when 2 will do just fine. So, Wally's it is most of the time.

That kind of stuff doesn't really affect me. Price, quality, convenience. That and where else can you buy a gallon of mayonnaise?

Al Sharpton is the epidemy of Grift. Big head is so corrupt yet some really dumbass people listen to that reprobate. If DEI had some success with COSTCO just imagine how well they'd do with meritocracy.

What the over/under on whether all 100 had their Costco cards?

Headline: MAGAs boycott Costco because the company refuses to stop hiring brown people and women

I enjoy a good MAGA boycot to make fun of

 

[Bray123]

Aw.
A big company refuses to bully their minority staff. I can see why that would trigger the MAGATs.

When you're making threads on Al Sharpton in 2025, you've lost.

Where's the Jeremiah Wright thread? lol

Costco is still convenient for me. I get free air in my tires, a furniture size package of TP, free snacks, etc. I haven't yet filled my pickup bed with Costco shopping, but I could do that to avoid holiday shopping. If BJ's opens more locations, it could become more convenient.

I imagine SS will board up the doggy door to the WH. That leaves Mr. Al Reprobate out on his ass.
