and a rather bored rep sitting behind it, no interest from shoppers

tempted to say something but it's not the reps fault

Costco is known for only carrying quality products. This will hurt their brand, separate and apart from the customer disapproval ramifications of supporting a company headed by a nutball seditionist.

...that rep isn't making much money on that gig.
There's a likely of $45 million for total compensation of 1,500 employees.
That's $30k per employee, which means $27k before fringes.
That's the average! Deduct what Lindell & his management team make and it's likely the average employee makes under $10/hour.
Crappy product, crappy pissant company!

The manufacturer pays a royalty to Costco to allow them to temporarily set up an exhibition of their wares, and Costco takes a royalty off the backend as well.

If it doesn't pay off well, neither side will want to repeat it.

There's a little table on the way out that has suggestion forms you can fill out. Something nice and polite, along the lines of "You should reconsider carrying My Pillow merchandise. Its owner supports anti-American causes and practices."

Had no idea who he was then, but then knowing his politics and history now I know to steer far clear of that shit!
