Costco is maybe the least capitalist company you can find nowadays

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 30 points 8 months ago

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.

The day the $1.50 hotdog dies is the day my membership ends. Muffins already went up $3 in the last two years.

Well, at least while the founder is alive, he'll kill to keep you a member.

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

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?

[-] match@pawb.social 8 points 8 months ago

Okay, fair, Bob's Red Mill is a very special exception
