"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set." -- Original by Walter Savage Landor in 1846, rephrased by Lin Yutang
This one is borrowed from the future with my auto-toots that happen every morning UK time, so you'll see it come around again in just over three months.
Landor's was part of a story, so it was dialogue taken out of context rather than formulated as a standalone. I agree that the way you cite it is punchier.

That's where I shop! Yes, the traffic increase is very noticeable. Not sure if Trader Joe kept it's also, but certainly more people there too, all left the local Whole Foods.
no shit. DEI improves business results. that is common knowledge and self-evident.
CostCo has simply chosen to operate a for profit business and done so using proven methods. DEI is socially good as well as beneficial to profits, but normal business practices are hardly something to celebrate. it's just something all companies can do, and will do whenever making profit is a priority.
"Meanwhile, Costco has remained steadfast in its DEI policies, focusing on fair wages, inclusive hiring, and employee retention. This approach has not only strengthened its workforce but has also resulted in positive financial outcomes. In contrast to Target and Amazon, Costco reported an 9% increase in revenue during the same quarter this year and a 7 million shopper increase over the last 4 weeks.."
I live in Taiwan, but there’s a Costco right down the road from me. It’s one of the few American-branded stores I go into. We also have McDonalds, KFC, and Starbucks, but frankly there are much better and cheaper options for those all over the place.
I thought walking, particularly walking WHILE buying, was illegal in America? How can you get people to overconsume if they don't have a truck to carry their purchases?
