I guess it's all about perspective. Its hardly sucking a corporate cock to not be bothered by a fairly innocuous business practice. Im not so deluded to think im more important to them than their own self interests.
If i haven't had to wait half an hour for them to count it up is irrelevant, then i fail to see how your experience is.
Frankly, i wish you were more self-aware. They dont care about you, they never have and never will. There are plenty of people out there who are happy to wait to buy their stuff. You are in the minority and they won't miss you.
Buy mostly your attitude stinks. There's a reason you are in negative thousands of karma. Because people see you coming a mile away and let out a big sigh... "Here cones misery guts, ready to be a grimpy git about the tiniest things"
No way, man. Awful take. You have seen red, and can't see past it.
Fuck costco. I don't give a shit about them, their business practices, or their profit margins.
Im just not stupid enough to think that i matter to them.
There's a distinct difference between shilling for a company and trying to explain to someone that the company doesn't care about you. Between licking boots and understanding that private companies can do what they want because there are always people willing to accept it and shop there anyway.
Im not sucking their dick. Im just self aware...
Man, if you think I thought they cared about me, you need to stop taking turns of phrase literally.
Did you forget the part where you made it all about you? Where you talked about it being your money, you paid for the items, so they are yours, so they shouldn't need to check. Treating you like a criminal? When you couldn't be bothered to wait like everyone else, so you just walked past and away? That you wont give them your custom anymore.
Wake up....
You know just cause everybody else is doing something, doesn't mean you have to.
You're not being a "rebel" or an individual because you selfishly left a line because "fuck everyone else'" you are just being a prick. Im not waiting in line because everyone else is. Im waiting because i dont want to be the dick that believes they are better/more than everyone else. Thats not social pressuee, thats self respect. You selfish moron
You are hilarious. Despite being able to read, you have zero comprehension skills if you still think im supporting corporations.
Me being against your selfish attitude doesn't automatically mean im defending them... i can think you and costco are ahitty at the same time, you know?
But it says a lot about your mentality if you only see the world in black and white. The whole "You are with us or against us" thing is a tired and basic way to look at things. Yoy need more nuance in your life.
I guess when costco arrest me when i show them my costco badge ill see things your way.
