Companies offering the drug risk reputation and legal repercussions, according to an Aug. 2 letter sent to CEOs at the two retail giants, as well as Kroger, Albertsons and medical distribution company McKesson Corp. The group said 6,000 Costco customers have signed a petition saying they will cancel their membership if the retailer starts selling the pills.
The religious coalition behind the petition owns about $172 million in shares of the five companies. The coalition was led by Boise, Idaho-based Inspire Investing, which manages $3 billion of assets, and includes the investment arm of the Southern Baptist churches and the American Family Association, a Christian fundamentalist group.

This is the kinda shit that they do that makes church membership go down. It’s been on a downward trend for decades, and they still think they’re some kind of powerful majority. Fuck. Off.
6,000 Costco customers
I can see Walmart caving, but Costco? Yeah right. As long as that chicken is $5, no one is leaving.
Anyone want to start a petition to cancel their Costco membership if they capitulate?
Yes please someone start one. I hardly go since grocery prices are too damn high to be able to afford to bulk buy. I can either get a weeks groceries or I can get 3 months of TP and a few other items.
That sounds like single with no kids lol
I digress, I do now shop at a local store for most things. Cost the same as Costco for less groceries, but there’s less waste
