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.
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
Just one that I know of (mentioned in my other comment).
We do in the twin cities.
Sprouts I think?
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?
Okay, fair, Bob's Red Mill is a very special exception
If it has $1.50 hot dogs I'm down.
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
I'll take a pallet of granola bars, please.
That wavy text is a real nice touch.
SCP-3008 but it’s Costco
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."
Ok but what is Costco? Does it stand for cost cooperation?
Cost company, otherwise it'd be costcoop
That fucking grammar mistake.
