I think they might actually be the only major… superstore type retailer that could, and potentially would, actually try to refund some of that to their customers.
The membership dues. Just… refund them to people, maybe for more than one year.
And/Or… they know what all their members bought.
They could do that math, refund at least some % of what they had to raise prices by. Or calculate that amount, stretch it over the next year, give them something like uh… you get x% of discount on literally whatever you buy, for as long as your ‘tariff rebate qualifying purchases’ of y$s lasts you till.
Of all the major retailers, they’re arguably the least evil.
And… its also arguably quite a good business move.
“Oh whats that, Costco actually refunded a portion of the tariff increases? Huh, maybe I will get a membership.”
Potential Hot Take:
If, if Costo wins this…
