Can we really be sure none of the 145.2 million cardholders are 3 possums in a trench coat?

I really doubt they interviewed every one. This is lazy journalism.

There is really no way to know.

There’s one way to find out - put cat food at all the entry points next to the membership card scanners

Then you'd catch the 3 cats in a trenchcoat

Wasn't it costco that refused to stock trump's horse feces mystery meat?

ickplant@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 5d

Yes, they have their own inspection standards.

I regularly sing the praises of Costco but this is a very bad look for them.

Costco unavailable for comment. Some people say this is because they don't employ Opossums in corporate either

SourDragon@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 5d

This is one of those posts where an upbeat feels like I'm okay with these things when I'm not. This is incredibly discriminatory against opossums

Drat, and there's probably a Costco in Denton that has sad marsupials.

i have one of those little flip out stepstools. are those too dangerous for opossodes? i'd like to help our little buddies get hot dog and drink combos

ickplant@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 5d

I’m sure they would appreciate feeling tall and getting the hotdog combo.

regardless of their treatment of opossums, i really want to get the family on a costco membership instead of sam's club. unfortunately i don't have that kind of pull here and sam's club is insisted.

There is only one solution. Set fire to Sam’s Club, making Costco the only option.

if only i weren't so feeble for arson, maybe i can somehow convince them that costco pizza is better

my partner wants to try the hot dogs too

Joining someone else for a Costco run is considered pretty normal, you don't have to go more than a few times a year to get most of the benefit.
