I hate doing this, but just want to point out the humor of people downvoting the comment without a SINGLE example to counter my point. Either you've never shopped at Costco or you're just pissed that Amazon is 100% NOT equivalent to Costco despite the really poor analogy.
And how could they be? Costco makes their money off membership fees - Amazon is attempting to make their money on driving their competitors out of business through what can only be described as monopolistic practices. Costco isn't an open bazaar that tracks goods sold and enters markets where they see "vendors" being successful. They sell a small number of items at a fair price - and don't intentionally screw their suppliers.
- kinkrtyavimoodh 6y agoBecause the point they are making is irrelevant. It doesn't matter to the discussion whether or not Kirkland brand items have other name brands next to them
- tw04 6y agoIt absolutely does, the claim was that Kirkland does what Amazon does and it's patently false. Kirkland doesn't stock name brand items, figure out what customers are buying the most of, then build a competitor while giving priority to their own brand which was the accusation.
