The amount of personal expression allowed is honestly impressive, and I love it. I saw an androgynous person wearing mild BDSM accessories working there and my thoughts were “go you, I’m so glad you’re allowed to be yourself in the workplace.”
Hopefully that kind of stuff can spread and we can get rid of treating workers as soulless drones elsewhere too.
That was not the Costco and was rather some idiot who was put into a management position. Chances are that if corporate learned of it they’d have something to say.
You should message corporate. They would probably like to hear this. If you got enough people to mention it, it will reverse. Their buisness model depends on customers being happy and keeping/renewing their memberships.
Tried that. A few times. Some people agreed with that. Others were really upset by it. And ultimately nothing was done because the policy was instituted after a Karen complained about an employee wearing a rainbow pin.
I’ve been around the ones in West Denver mainly and the impression I get is that people can wear largely whatever as long as they’re doing their jobs, I could be wrong though
Costco is the Bernie Sanders of retail.
Notice that all the employees there smile and laugh as they work. It’s heartening.
They don’t even welcome me to costco and tell me they love me…
Welcome to Costco. We love you.

Our local Costco banned rainbows and compared them to swasticas. So I don’t go there anymore.

Yikes… Where is that, so I can avoid the area?

Except for the people who run the hotdog thing, they are miserable. Maybe that’s just my store…
It is the number one reason I keep coming back all these years. There are employees whose tenure rivals my age.
