(51,564 posts)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.

(65,060 posts)...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!
