I like how they tell us often how they pay livable wages there, but I really don't want to buy Koch Brothers/Georgia Pacific towels, too-die paper, and other branded Costco products that are Brawny or Nestle.

I live in Auburn Ca, where Costco is buying property from Placer County that will take out a Senior Citizen facility, a gym, offices for a Senior Help organization, and a group that provides plays put on and for children.

So far Costco's commitment has been 500 thousand for the seniors, screw everybody else.

As you can tell, I don't shop Costco anymore and have never shopped Wallmart. I have found though, that if someone want's to check your tag, Tell them to place you under arrest first.
