Costco CEO Craig Jelinek claimed that the “violence,” “demonstrations,” and “unrest” following the death of George Floyd are due to “racism and injustice,” joining other multinational corporations in releasing public relations messages about the ongoing left-wing protests and riots.
Costco published Jelinek’s comments in two separate statements, the first to Costco’s members and the second to the company’s employees. Jelinek specifically mentioned Floyd’s death in the first statement.
Dear Costco members,
Along with the rest of the country, we were shocked by the tragic and senseless death of George Floyd. While Costco cannot alter this terrible event, or others like it, we believe all individuals and organizations can use this moment as a catalyst for change. We must re-examine how we deal with issues of racism and injustice everywhere in our society.
Please find below a letter I shared with Costco employees earlier this week. I’m sharing this message with you to let you know that racism, discrimination and harassment are not tolerated at Costco. We remain steadfast in our commitment to fairness and equity for our employees, members and communities.
Thank you,
Craig Jelinek
President and CEO
Costco Wholesale
In his statement to employees, Jelinek advised employees not to lose focus on “racism and injustice”

How about the racism and injustice in Communist China, CEO buddy?
Doesn’t COSTCO stand for Chinese Overseas Transportation Company?
was just about to order some Costco stuff online here in Japan . Sayonara !
How about opening Costcos in the hood. Every Costco I know about is in the more tony suburbs.
That is COSCO. Easy to confuse with Costco.
All business is subordinating itself to this out of fear if nothing else of “losing business” and its been decided by top corporate executives of the top 200 companies called the “Business Roundtable”.
I have seen this message direct from a big corporate CEO in a video.
And this is where this crap is coming from.
These idiotic racists can only see racism, nothing more.
Kowtowing. Wear your knee pads, JelinekIdiot, kkthx.
Leave a message on their FB or Twit page . I just did .
This idiot runs one of the largest corporations in the country? The liberal left keeps fanning the flames for their own political advantage - to get rid of Trump at all costs. They are built on racial divide..
Yesterday was a good day.
I quit COSTCO.
More like hooligans and thugs cause violence and unrest.
Reparations will be complete when the descendants of slaves are generally as prosperous as the slaveholders were, and are included in society and have the right to vote. When, oh when, will that ever happen?Guess what! An American secretary today has access to medical care beyond the wildest dreams of Queen Victoria (1819-1901) - let alone the slaveholders of the South. Same is true of the carriages (automobiles) they own. Same is true of the ability to travel worldwide. Not to speak of computers/communications.
the “violence,” “demonstrations,” and “unrest” following the death of George Floyd are due to _cynicism and ingratitude, rather than_ “racism and injustice.”
Attempting to appease people whose self-identity is founded on cynicism and ingratitude is a fool’s errand.
BS...just a bunch of low IQ commies pitching a fit...it’s really boring the hell out of most Americans.
Blah blah blah blah blah...get some damn TP in your stores.
And STFU.
This white man will never darken (snicker) the door of a Wendy’s. Wouldn’t want to offend them with my white money.
So many companies are run by leftist idiots. Was this goof wearing a mask when he said this?
