Just predicting a heel turn
The nice thing about Costco is that people can more easily protest by canceling memberships. Not to say they won't take off the mask like every other corporation at some point, but it's easier to have a direct effect.
You’re right, but I feel like it’s unlikely people will do so considering economic conditions and the cultic milieu around the business
It's that cultic milieu that can be (at least somewhat) broken with the right boneheaded corporate move, though. Economic conditions and general apathy though, not so much.
Costco is a godsend in San Francisco, and I was always given to understand the employees are treated well. I’m gonna be really bummed if it does take a heel turn.
