Craig Jelinek the (CEO of costco until recently) was always considered a good guy for putting his employees first and concentrating on keeping a high bar for product quality.
Until recently? Did something happen recently to change this? (Genuine question, I've only heard good things about the Costco ceo)
For actual clarity, Craig Jelinek stepped down in 2023. Ron Vachris is the current CEO. Not sure if there's been any negative policy change since then though.
This is about the time when in the UK they stopped allowing digital membership cards (on a phone app) and forced you to install the Costco app.
I am trying to remove as many apps as possible and until this change just carried my driving licence and a backup credit card in my phone case.
Forcing their own tracking app nearly made me cancel my membership.
