Costco vs Trump Tariffs: Are Consumers Owed Refunds? | Wine By the Case
📢 Episode 36 Drop 🎙️🍷
Costco isn’t just a warehouse; it’s a lifestyle. In this episode, Chris and Alexis unpack why Costco inspires cult-level loyalty, how Trump-era tariffs shook prices for everyday consumers, and why Costco is now suing after a federal court ruled those tariffs unconstitutional. From $1.50 hot dogs to fast-food inflation, this one blends civics, economics, and wine with zero chill.
In this episode, we cover:
🛒 Costco culture: loss leaders, loyalty, and why people emotionally defend a big-box store
⚖️ Tariffs explained: what they are, why they were unconstitutional, and who actually paid
💸 Consumer fallout: higher prices, fast food shock, and why rebates never feel like justice
🏛️ Constitutional basics: separation of powers, taxation, and why “I’ll do it anyway” fails
🍔 Real-world impact: restaurants, imports, wine, and why eating out suddenly costs $50
📉 The big question: if tariffs were illegal, who deserves the refund?
🍷 Wine We’re Pouring: • Northern California Red (Price Point + Story Point) https://www.wine-searcher.com/
👩⚖️ Hosts:
• Chris Sensenig — employment attorney with 28+ years of experience handling employment law, EEOC matters, compliance, and the occasional “please don’t make the news” situation.
• Alexis Rosenberg (Litigation Lex®) — partner at Rosenberg Law, P.A. with 20 years of experience, business, healthcare, cannabis, and insurance law attorney, regular legal commentator on Court TV, Law & Crime, iCrime with Elizabeth Vargas, and proudly “not a sommelier.”
💬 Tell us below: If a tariff is ruled unconstitutional, should refunds go to corporations, or straight back to consumers at checkout?
