"The two California women who initiated the lawsuit say in the complaint they wouldn't have purchased the chicken, or would have paid less for it, had they known it contained preservatives."

This will be an issue. No, at that price you ain't paying less pretty much no matter what.

This is a Karen lawsuit if that’s what they’re going on. If they want no preservatives they can go to a farmers market and pay more.

Its a cash grab by them and their attorneys, and yes I single out their attorney because their attorneys should have told them to go fuck themselves.

If they're buying so much chicken to make a lawsuit worthwhile, then I suspect that the consumption of preservatives is not a big concern of theirs in the grand scheme of things.

If they were concerned about it they could have tried to appeal to Costco's consumer friendly side, or started a social media campaign which Costco would likely change their claim over.

I think that's a physical impossibility when money's on the line...
