In a nearly unanimous decision, Costco shareholders voted in support of Costco’s current diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives after the National Center for Public Policy Research submitted a proxy proposal to audit the company’s “litigation, reputational and financial risks.” As the Trump administration levels against DEI, Costco is swimming against a tide causing numerous large retail corporations to dial back DEI initiatives, including Amazon, Walmart, McDonald’s, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply and most recently Target.

I’ve been debating canceling membership since we moved further away and closer to Sam’s.

Thanks shareholders!

That's always the driver. When members start bailing they will come calling.

Well it’s just been made illegal, so I don’t know what they’re going to do about it.

I don't support companies like Costco, Apple, etc.
I can just go to alternative less woke companies like Sam's Club, etc

You can’t tell them how they hire.

They can get rid of all Dei policy and still hire by the policy. You can’t prove they aren’t hiring what they deem to be the best.

No need in wishing me luck. I've never stepped foot inside a Costco. Seems like I never will.

I don’t give 2 shits what they do, but if Trump wants those records, he'll get those records.

I've got news for you if you think Walmart/Sam's is any different. Officially they will claim that they don't hire based on dei but they will continue the practice.

What exactly does a DEI Costco look like?

I don't have 10 Asian kids and 10 Hispanic kids.

Costco is worthless otherwise, considering their price increases the last Decade are comparable to Supermarkets.

Ending Costco membership? Common sense...

When you realize you don't need a Gallon of Soy Sauce or Salsa.
