Just FYI, costco treats their employees fairly well so people have this image of them being a progressive corporation - they are not.

"The Teamsters recently filed unfair labor practice charges against Costco for expelling union representatives, harassing workers for wearing union buttons, sending employees home, removing union literature, and even changing locks on union bulletin boards.

They have a long history of anti-union, and sometimes straight union busting, activities. The $1.50 hotdogs? A smokescreen, a smokescreen of PORK and DECEPTION. WAKE UP, SHEEPLE. WAKE UP, AND BREATHE IN THE HEADY SCENT OF HOUSE BRAND, BULK PACKAGED LIES!
