The way I read it, if Costco isn't lying then Reuters is lying.

"Our position at this time not to sell mifepristone, which has not changed, is based on the lack of demand from our members and other patients, who we understand generally have the drug dispensed by their medical providers," Costco said, adding that it will stop the sale at its more than 500 pharmacies.

Reuters reported that Costco explicit said they'd stop selling the drug, but apparently chose not to include that part of the quote for some reason.

Earlier this year Costco was in the news effectively telling the Cheeto Nazi administration to get fucked and they reinforced their standing behind their DEI policies.

That's just one example. I don't think they are the capitalist enemy you should focus on. I'm inclined to believe them on this one.

Its probably a demographic mismatch: how many people with a costco card are under 30 years old?

They could be right in this case honestly, because there is probably a minuscule fraction of the preppers, large families, and pre-planners that shop at Costco that wouldn't just use some other type of birth control.

Post-conception birth control in general I cannot see being someone's primary method.

It still sucks, but I buy this much more than I buy that Colbert was cancelled for purely financial reasons.

They certainly carry plenty of cheap multi-use drugs like aspirin, but I'd expect the sales volume to be a lot higher. I wonder how many infrequently used cheap prescription drugs they carry. Yeah it's unfortunate if they're reacting to political pressure. They do still carry birth control I'm sure.

they will go after methotrexate soon enough which also used as abortificient.

"Fuck your stupid bleeding stomach!"

-Costco apparently

Mifepristone has no role in the treatment or prevention of ulcers, only misoprostol is used in that fashion.

And liars. Blaming their customer base instead of admitting their fear of Trump is horseshit.
