People boycott Costco for requiring them to wear masks in stores - Business Insider

Costco will soon require its shoppers to wear masks while in stores. And some members of the warehouse chain are not pleased with the policy change.

"Adios #Costco! Won't be renewing my membership!," a user posted on Twitter on Tuesday in response to the new policy. "I REFUSE to mask up for the low IQ mob that's falling for the propaganda, not to mention the health risks by restricting oxygen!"This user was one of many who took to social media to express frustration with Costco's new policy.

In response to a request for comment, a Costco spokesperson directed Business Insider to a public message from CEO Craig Jelinek on the company's website. "We know some members may find this inconvenient or objectionable, but under the circumstances we believe the added safety is worth any inconvenience," Jelinek wrote. "This is not simply a matter of personal choice; a face covering protects not just the wearer, but others too.", which advise people wear face coverings in public settings in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Still, angry shoppers took to social media to express their frustration with the new policy.

Some shoppers posted about being against the policy because they claimed it was ineffective or promoting fear-mongering

RC69xxx Masks are just an measurement of obedience & a false sense of security..also they’re“Made in China”... masks facemask ChinaMustPay 🦠🦇🦠

Kooks everywhere these days

That’s even better less people

This is how it should be done. NOT by the government but by voluntary action by businesses (Costco). Now end the lockdowns and let businesses decide how they protect their customers or whether it’s needed.

I wear mask and gloves every time I go shopping these days. I just want to be on the safe side.

Don’t worry, those objecting will eventually die down.

People are so stupid 😂.

Wow ppl are hella dumb

That means no stupid maga morons at Costco, I’m shopping at Costco this weekend

Woootttt! Shorter lines for me

En México todos usan máscaras 🎭...

Corona zombies wake the F up !!!

Maybe Costco can try to scratch out a living without their business.... 🤷🏻‍♂️

CDC originally said face masks were a waste of time. Once hospitals got more in, now you should wear one. Don’t you hate being lied to? Just say what’s really going on!

hope they keep it up

I'm going to Costco only.

90% of these masks are so porous they are useless, and people are constantly fidgeting with them, putting their fingers near their nose and mouth

Thank god there will be less idiots shopping at Costco....way to go Costco!!!!

Best news all week! Finally I can shop at Costco w/o the long lines!
