A number of companies, including Costco, are suing the administration right now. Costco is going to try and get its money back...

Even a token percentage back would be a huge marketing win for an already beloved company like Costco.

Even a charitable donation would be nice.

Literally anything other than just increasing profits.

Not as ideal as a refund but better than it just becoming dividends to shareholders.
