They're still a publicly-traded company and are thus beholden to their shareholders, but they seem to have done ok in spite of that. I'm certain it's only a matter of time though - eventually new leadership will come in who will only care about maximizing profits.

The day the $1.50 hotdog dies is the day my membership ends. Muffins already went up $3 in the last two years.

Well, at least while the founder is alive, he'll kill to keep you a member.

Maybe the least capitalist large one, not that that's saying much.

The real least capitalist company would surely be one of those single-location hippie grocery co-ops or something like that.

Do you still have those near you??

The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland

[–] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Just one that I know of (mentioned in my other comment).

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

We do in the twin cities.

Sprouts I think?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Nah, Sprouts is just a normal corporate grocery store that tries to have a granola image.

The example I had in mind was Sevananda. (Its website is too polished to be the nationwide winner, though -- especially since it's touting a promotional thing they apparently had with Steve Harvey a year ago and that's way too "establishment.")

Surely employee owned companies like Bob’s Red Mill fit the bill better?

[–] match@pawb.social 8 points 9 months ago

Okay, fair, Bob's Red Mill is a very special exception

If it has $1.50 hot dogs I'm down.

[–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

The day that hot dog changes price is the day we know Costco Has Fallen

Livin' that Kirkland life.

This but unironically

I feel seasick

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

I'll take a pallet of granola bars, please.

SCP-3008 but it’s Costco

That wavy text is a real nice touch.

Came here to make fun of the obvious misspelling of luminous but learned something instead.

Numinous means "arousing spiritual or religious emotion; mysterious or awe-inspiring"; also "supernatural" or "appealing to the aesthetic sensibility."

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ok but what is Costco? Does it stand for cost cooperation?

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Cost company, otherwise it'd be costcoop

[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

That fucking grammar mistake.
