  Just say you didn’t bother reading the article.

  This is about the truck drivers. Now stop putting down your fellow workers for trying to earn enough to remain alive and healthy so they can continue providing their services to the company.

    Exactly, it’s about worker solidarity. The above person doesn’t get that.

    Gladly, I didn’t read the article.

    Hey, the truck drivers, the cart pushers, every other position at that company deserves a raise as far as I’m concerned.

    But those employees at the door can lick my taint if they think they deserve anything above minimum wage for doing FUCK ALL. They don’t even break eye contact from the conversation they’re having with the receipt checkers when you go through.

      Are you that desperate for attention that you need everyone you pass to look at you, or else you find reasons to go online and rant about them? Damn dude… That’s sad. I hope you figure things out.

        Sorry I just think if somebody is being paid a wage to do a job they should, you know, at least fucking do it?

      I don’t give a fuck if someone’s job is to jerk off in the bathroom all day. They should be paid a living wage.

      You’re getting downvoted due to your original post, but the door checkers are annoying. They are membership validation theatre like tsa is. They already scan to validate at the register, and all you have to do to go in is claim you’re going to the pharmacy anyway. The door checkers just make being a member more annoying and Costco should be punished by the members for enacting them.

        Careful, you’re walking on hallowed ground, talking about those chatty door boopers.

    Any idea if other employees are represented in the union or just the truck drivers?

      This is the teamsters, as far as I’m aware, they’re a nationwide transportation union. If Costco has in store employees unionized, they’re probably part of a different one
