I used to work at Costco, although only for a summer.
Every time I shared my experience working at Costco to friends and family, they were quick to jump to Costco's defense, as if I was insulting a dead relative. Countless times, if not every single time, I heard "it's probably only the Costco you worked at".
For comparison, I also worked at Walmart, and my experience there was neutral, but I've had some people try to dig for bad experiences. There were some bad experiences, but at the end of the day, when I clocked out, I was done working (unlike Costco).
Don't put too much trust into these corporations.
Consumers lacking class consciousness, siding with their favorite brands over workers. smdh.
You can support unions across the board and still be able to commend Costco on the good it does for its employees.
Anyone who shits wholesale on the company (pun intended) is missing the point.
Respectfully, I think that's where the downvotes are coming from.
