I like Costco as much as the next person but they will absolutely not be refunding us based on what we purchased lol
I’ll happily eat these words but im fairly certain I won’t have to
The article states that on a bunch of items they’ve just been eating the cost so they’ve been paying the tariffs instead of passing them on. For those cases, there is nothing to refund to the consumers.
Yeah but it doesn’t state they’ve eaten the tariffs on everything just certain staple items
And I would wager those items they've eaten the cost on, is what they're seeking compensation on.
Nah as it stands, costco is a bro.
Used to be then they became one of the worst customer service sites to visit. I hate Walmart and Sam's club with a passion, but damn if their denial of my kids to run inside and go to the bathroom while I got gas pissed me off to no end.
Probably not, but they did state last year that the extra money they made from the gas station (they kept it competitive with other places) was used to keep the yearly “admission” price the same.
