Costco is maybe the least capitalist company you can find nowadays
They're still a publicly-traded company and are thus beholden to their shareholders, but they seem to have done ok in spite of that. I'm certain it's only a matter of time though - eventually new leadership will come in who will only care about maximizing profits.
The day the $1.50 hotdog dies is the day my membership ends. Muffins already went up $3 in the last two years.
Maybe the least capitalist large one, not that that's saying much.
The real least capitalist company would surely be one of those single-location hippie grocery co-ops or something like that.
Do you still have those near you??
The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland
Just one that I know of (mentioned in my other comment).
We do in the twin cities.
Sprouts I think?
Nah, Sprouts is just a normal corporate grocery store that tries to have a granola image.
The example I had in mind was Sevananda. (Its website is too polished to be the nationwide winner, though -- especially since it's touting a promotional thing they apparently had with Steve Harvey a year ago and that's way too "establishment.")
Surely employee owned companies like Bob’s Red Mill fit the bill better?
Okay, fair, Bob's Red Mill is a very special exception
If it has $1.50 hot dogs I'm down.
The day that hot dog changes price is the day we know Costco Has Fallen
Livin' that Kirkland life.
This but unironically
I feel seasick
SCP-3008 but it’s Costco
I'll take a pallet of granola bars, please.
That wavy text is a real nice touch.
Came here to make fun of the obvious misspelling of luminous but learned something instead.
Numinous means "arousing spiritual or religious emotion; mysterious or awe-inspiring"; also "supernatural" or "appealing to the aesthetic sensibility."
Ok but what is Costco? Does it stand for cost cooperation?
Cost company, otherwise it'd be costcoop
That fucking grammar mistake.
