It's a common tactic everywhere now. I think it started in Lebanon via groups tied to Syria & Iran?

Sorry Marjorie, but Fox News was always the fake news. You're just seeing things through a different lens these days. (MTG and Ann Coulter on my side of an argument. I'm really starting to panic about this timeline.)

They are getting ripped in the comments, and rightfully so. Insane victim blaming.
They do apologize later, but truly, this attitude is common in car country.

A proposed class action has accused Costco of unjust enrichment after the retail giant allegedly made customers pay for tariffs, then planned to pocket the full refund after they were deemed unlawful.

Costco “collected the tariff costs from consumers through elevated pricing, while simultaneously seeking refunds of the same tariff payments from the federal government,” the complaint alleged. Unless the court intervenes, “Costco stands to recover the same tariff payments twice.”
Filed in a US District Court in Washington, the lawsuit points to public statements from Costco executives that customers said made it clear that the company had raised prices on some goods while the tariffs were in effect. But the company has since offered “no legally binding commitment to return tariff-related overcharges to the consumers who actually paid them.”
Instead of reimbursing the customers who paid more for goods, Costco said on a March 2026 earnings call that it plans to use tariff refunds to lower future prices.
That's awfully...nice of them.

"And pass the savings on to you!" :rolleyes:
Trying to figure out how to reimburse each and every customer for the tariffs they paid - particularly in Costco's case - while technically possible, would be a logistical nightmare. The idea of just lowering prices across the board for a duration just seems more feasible. And if any store is going to do it, I trust Costco to keep their word.

Unlike DHL, who charges the tariff, and a additional USD$17 (or 1% of total value) of the package as a handling fee for the transaction!
