My job literally produces those Kirkland freezer bags at 0:22. I'm one of the people who oversees the production of the blue zippers on the bags. Seeing the product we make and package right there on that table with Ron holding the bag.... well, that nudges me to put more pride and attention to make it as best we can.
@ChampBear622They just get the defective products from the name brands at a discount. Literally how all store brands work.
@rickwilliams967I like Costco and do shop there a little. However, I spent almost an hour on the phone to report a mislabeled product, namely an olive oil (a passion of mine) that the harvest date was incorrect as the Italian olive of that date would have been still on the tree! Went through many loops but no one was either available or interested. I did leave messages but no response…ever. So be very diligent when you buy EVOO at Costco.
@jonoon27One smart and down to earth individual.
@hasanisk3797As a Retired Union Steamfitter I totally understand And shop there and suggest all unions shop there
@thomasincantalupo3298I wish Costco will take over and run the state of WA.
@madeyezCostco is the best company in the world.
@robinlyWhy does he force all of the thousands of his employees to urinate into little cups on demand?
@clifford7594Costco has changed their foods in a big way, they use to have great Muffins and you got two boxes and they were made large, now they are small and you get one package and the price has increased, not a good value anymore.
@paulbrown8370I like that he’s really honest, he doesn’t want you to walk out with only a 20$ purchase, he wants you to leave with a 500$ purchase so they can get more money off of you..
@tommymoua3274This dude gets it
@gabadiamondjdFake interview to advertise for Costco. Costco is a shepherd who has been cultivating and profiting on followers. These human sheeps would blindly buy anything they are told to do so.
@BLee-wk2gbLooks like a pre recorded interview to me 😂
@markogoldman8424The only good definition of capitalism
@LiveLaughLovecraftNeed that Sushi 🥹
@jonathanvelazquez6540to be honest, most disgusting hotdog 🌭 I ever had, disgustingly salty 🧂 🤮
@IanmundoThe CEO seems very relatable.
@jameswatt7249I’ve worked for Costco for 6 years. They treat us very well

@jackmurphy6209I’m obsessed with Costco.❤
@KennedyMorrisettethats why people love costco and i love them too
@harpyslasher2206seems very well rehearsed... but i do like CostCo. have yet to have a bad experience there.
@antonyhawkins9112A year ago
@MASONION41I don't get it. Sams club has a two pack Jif peanut butter at $10.98 but the same thing at Costco is $13.99. Hard pass
@ZipAddictedIf all C-suites were like that of Costco we'd live in paradise
@milneyLove Kirkland!
@russellf5832Dude just say we added more bacon.
@rickywhapham-cz5ddHe would be pulled miles through the mud if he didn’t know the Costco guys, as ceo 1:59
@c.h9933Costco has become an institution
@Steno316Costco is one of the best/only arguments for capitalism. An actual good corporation.
@meatsac_technologiesI think Kirkland getting into TVs could be so good if they made TV with no bloatware...omg
@bobbio100I wait for the day Kirkland starts selling phones
@Thatonem8Wearing a shirt with a stain while interviewing Fortune 500 CEO is crazy fall
@Jordan-Jif costco ever figures out consumer electronics they will become godlike. however i dont think they will be able to do it any time soon, the market just moves too fast, most Kirkland items i know like coffee stay the same for years which i assume helps with suppliers being able to scale to those large volumes.
@purplepenguin43They don’t even hire full time how are you supposed to make a living working part time ?
@CAPS_333notice how often she blinks compared to him. its called focus.
@thedude4044Amazon set the standard for speed and easy. Costco sets the standard for caring about your employees.
@thedude4044Love it
@4starreeskeeCostco is going downhill and it’s a dread to go. Very limited selection, went there this month and they had no steak at all. Not all but employees are rude even getting paid better.
What propaganda.
The Last 'Capitalist' Store out there imo.
@RealHorhayi mean kirkland is pretty similar to onn lol
@buboitoomg I'm super down for using a Kirkland gaming p.c.! Make it happen Ron!
