Was it "his" facebook or his company one?

If it his company one, dude is a dumbass who deserves this.

If it is his personal one... Costco can do business with whomever they desire, but I think that's a terrible move for them.

They don't care if people shop there?

Is it just a money laundering operation or something? I guess that makes sense.


They know who their target demographic is world (nation)wide and if they lose a few people to appease the others, they absolutely will.

Ironic that Palmetto Pimento Cheese is produced in South Carolina and it was a Yankee girl attending The University of South Carolina that led the charge to have it pulled everywhere. Costco was the only one to cave.

She tried to say that the company was also guilty of false advertising bc their log "The Pimento Cheese with Soul" was misleading and a form of cultural appropriation bc of the "soul" reference.

I'm sure she's SUPER popular at USC now.

Congrats on living off the backs of your parents and enjoying your privilege. Enjoy your little club that disenfranchised poor minorities by forcing them to pay a due just to participate.

You don't pay a fee to be a member of Costco, you pay a fee to keep the trash out.

I don't like this guy. He purports that his wife came up with the recipe.

They stayed at a B&b on Pawleys Island, bought it, saw that they could a buck ....

My wife loves that pimento cheese. Costco doesn't know what my wife pissed off looks like. I fear for their safety.

Me either. I've never stepped foot in one and there's one maybe 2 miles from my house.
