I am definitely moving from Sam's Club to Costco

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I'm a new Costco member. Just picked up my membership card this weekend and stocked up on some things in preparation for increased costs

Don't make me like Delta, I really hate flying Delta flights but I may need to consider them going forward if they are going to be slightly less shitty corporate citizens…

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Delta sucks, but it's better than United, Southwest, and American so I guess it's my favorite of the major US options.

Delta is passable. They're overpriced, and you're trading leg room for a stupid headrest TV with an unnecessarily tiny headphone jack. But other than that, it's a decent flying experience.

I'd fly Alaska instead. Not sure how they treat employees though.

Alaska and JetBlue are both nice airlines as a passenger, and AFAIK are pretty decent to their employees. Unfortunately neither is very useful unless you're staying within your particular coast, or flying from a hub to a very specific destination. The lack of network effect and international destinations limits the usefulness of both, sadly.

It just shows you how empty all these corporate initiatives for most. The wind changes direction and suddenly everything crumbles. Corporations advertising their core values is meaningless.

Well....let see how long they will survive

Don't fly enough to talk about Delta, but about Costco which I use regularly, why should I stop using them when they provide excellent service and I'm happy with it? And if they treat others equally, isn't that what Jesus taught us to do? As a Christian that's an additional bonus.
