COSTCO GIVES AMERICAN MILITARY PERSONNEL THE BOOT - FReeper ALERT!!!

Eyewitness | 29 Sep 2004 | Robert Drobot

[Lexinom]

Typical piece of garbage Washington State-based pinko-commie leftwing if-it-feels-good-do-it extremist corporation.

[Robert Drobot]

I asked: What part of this 'story' has "...a real lack of credibility?" The location? The participants? The name of the Guard unit? The public humiliation?

Your response in Post# 133 is total nonsense. Once again, you owe it to me, and FReepers generally, to expand on your innuendo in Post# 126.

[em2vn]

I don't believe you represent anyone on FreeRepublic except yourself. Therefore, I will be direct. I don't owe you a thing. My point was stated clearly. If you don't understand what I stated the problem is yours and yours alone.

[gathersnomoss]

Bwahahahahaha.

[conservativeteach]

Thanks for the info Tamsey. Sam's Club it is then for my school supplies. It's further away, but worth the drive.

[conservativeteach]

Definitely good to know. I didn't hear about the cook-out. I haven't shopped at a Wal-Mart in several years. The last time I went to the one close by, most of the signage was written in Spanish. Turned me off to the store.

[ladyinred]

I wasn't aware that Costco took a position on politics. If you are sure this is true, then I would rather take our business elsewhere. These companies should just quietly support one political party if they must, because all of their customers are not screaming leftist Marxists.

[RightWingBev]

I work around the corner from this Costco and I am telling the bias in this area is awful. and the MSM wants to attack Walmart/Sam Club all the time yet I go into my local Walmart in Hayward CA and there are signs of support for our great military. Let me tell you this my neice has been in Iraq and so has her husband and the MSM is not reporting all that is going on. The Bay Area is a vast group of left wing nuts and that is why I continue to hear my Republican friends LEAVE THIS STATE

[Tamzee]

Most welcome... my sentiments, also. We do all our bulk shopping at Sam's now and get smaller household-ish stuff from Wal-Mart. After seeing what a company like Progressive Insurance can use their profits for, I'm now extremely careful which businesses I give my money to.

[mugs99]

Before you go on with this you ought to know that Costco ws following a standard practice which any lawyer would tell them to follow--No solicitations on the property. No matter how good the cause, the minutes they allow it for one group, they can be forced to allow it for all. And they know that customers like me will not be happy wading theru solicitations everytime I go shopping

I don't know where you live, but here in northern California the COSTCO stores always have the Liberal environmental people handing out fliers and trying to get petitions signed.

I joined COSTCO just to buy an 8x12 shed they had on sale. Got screwed royally with their bogus shipping and lousy quality. Took months to arrive and all the lumber was warped. Ended up costing me more than the quality shed at Lowes! Will never set foot in that rip off joint again.

..

[the Real fifi]

I live in D and use the Costo in Va. I have never seen anyone solitiitng there--undoubtedly that is beause the law here is as I desribed. I have always had wonderful luck with what I purhase there. If you are unhappy feel free NOT to shop there. OTOH don't ask people to join in a boycott without a good reason, and I don't think this is one.

[mugs99]

I didn't ask anyone to join in a boycot, fifi. I replied to your erroneus statement and voiced my opinion, based on my experience with Costco.

[Robert Drobot]

I've often said people are what they write. You are a classic example of that maxim.

[em2vn]

Thank you. I have been told I am a classic.
You might be well served to examine fully the meaning of innuendo.
Hang in there saying things often. Once in a while you might hit upon a jewell.
