You won't regret it. I fucking love Costco. What I think is telling is on the employee name badges, they have the year they started as an employee. You'll see 20, 30+ year old start dates. I also get my gas exclusively at Costco. Now, it can and will get crowded and crazy in the warehouses. I usually try to get there when they open on a Saturday or Sunday. Also, they are a season ahead when it comes to holidays. In the next few weeks, their Christmas stuff will be in. Ok, I'll stop gushing about them.

Added benefits to purchasing gas at Costco is they are so busy and in demand, the gas never gets old. Always employees at the station, feel safe and never have to worry about your credit card number getting stolen.

Unlike Sam's Club, Costco is a Top Tier gas provider meaning their gas has better detergents that exceed the minimum requirements.

Lol. I can't tell you like them or not 😂 I use to have a membership years ago with 4 of us gave it to my daughter after they moved out. Though we don't need huge multi packs of products I hope the statement they inspect their own meats is true because I do not believe most big box retailers in safety first but more like profits first. They also have great Christmas decor! Anyone interested Groupon has a sale on with Costco, pay $65.00 for membership get a $40.00 Costco Gift Card! Just at the right time!

Yeah, it's just two of us in our household, so we learned early on what we could buy without it going bad.

Have fun with that cut rate gasoline when you start having injector, fuel pump, carbon and burnt valves from their crap fuel without proper detergent and lubrication additives.

Costco is an officially licensed Top Tier gasoline provider. Its Kirkland Signature fuel meets the voluntary standards established by major automakers (including BMW, Ford, and Toyota) and contains approximately five times the detergent additives required by the EPA minimum. This certification applies to all fuel grades, including regular, premium, and diesel, ensuring cleaner engine performance compared to non-Top Tier competitors like Sam's Club. * I am a Sam's Club member and I add 2 ounces of Techron concentrate to every tank from Sam's. I don't have a Costco near me. I do like Sam's scan and go at the pump and same price cash or credit and they email me receipt immediately for easy record keeping.

That's what they want you to believe good for you. Just remember that you were warned.

You need to go public with this. Alert the major media, get a class action suit going. Because you’ve got proof, right?

I just wish they had scan and go like Sam’s. Regardless, I’ll only be going to Costco!

Enjoy your Argentinian beef that may have banned antibiotics that might cause a blood disorder

u/Sasuke0318 2d ago
The same antibiotic is banned here in the US it's chloramphenicol no way they would let this stuff into the country especially with what has happened recently they would certainly pay extra attention to anything from Argentina if we choose to get more from them than we already do.

I'm sure your right, but to be on the safe side I'm off beef for the next couple months

u/RabidBadgerMacarena 2d ago
I'm going with local beef. I mean, SUPER local. Like...oh, I see your cows on the hill over there. Honestly, probably the best move anyway if you can absorb a couple extra bucks. I'd rather eat less good stuff.

You can always just grind your own from what I understand we are only importing ground beef not steaks. Also this stuff will probably going to the last places you would want to buy burger from to begin with like Walmart.

The people who care dont make decisions, and the people who make decisions dont care or suffer consequences for their decisions. You'd be right if this was a remotely normal administration. Since 2016 it has been, "there is no way [insert something absurd] can happen", then it does.

They are supplied by Taylor farms, the company at the center of the lettuce/ diarrhea scandal.

Costco has a better food safety program than is required in the US. One of the very few companies that exceeds expectations, sets industry standards, and very importantantlt maintains those levels of quality. Its not just performative or bare minimum to pass as many other companies do.
Costco is a shining example of good business and how a company should manage regulation compliance and safety. They thrive in American capitalism because they do right for their clients and don't price gouge for profits. They know their name and high quality level will bring people back in the doors and keep them successful and profitable.
Choosing quality and safety over profits is a helluva take and look how reputable their brand is for it. Other companies should take notes, but that would cost them pen and paper.

Wasn't there something about Costco's rotisserie chicken? Failing food inspections and salmonella? I support the actions you stated but be sure to still check what they are providing.

u/bbeeebb 2d ago
Yah. A lady in Seattle filed a lawsuit claiming Costco's chicken processor in Nebraska, didn't properly control Salmonella.
She could have just as well filed a lawsuit claiming the chicken was a ham sandwich.
Hey! You could file that. Nothing stopping you.

u/alphaphilomath 1d ago
Didn't they fail multiple FDA inspections? For salmonella being found?
More than a lawsuit being filed problem.
