He’s greedy corporation is whining about that they don’t make enough money. Their profits are $52 billion and then they wonder why their members aren’t buying any items because they’re too damn expensive and you’re too worried about stupid profits rather than appeasing. The customers total corporate greed.

look at the 13 eps and 35 p/E is lower than Walmart. probably still a buy given that and the company's reputation all around.

you would think this store would be the go to spot to save money but they still missed on earnings. Supposedly, they are lacking buyers of non-essential junk like electronics and furniture.

Bought a Fridge from Costco a few days ago. Great price, extra surprise $300 off, free delivery and installation, and haul away. Hard to find a better deal.
