PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Costco says it is no longer carrying Coca-Cola products in its stores nationwide due to a pricing dispute with the beverage maker.I'm guessing Coke's going to want to get that fixed pretty quickly because a lot of their stuff goes out the door of Costco every day (or at least it used to). I just bought three cases of Diet Coke on Sunday.
The Issaquah, Wash.-based wholesale club operator would not
discuss the matter further. But a Costco executive confirmed Monday that the company is no longer carrying products from the world's largest soft drink maker.
Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co. says it won't comment on on-going negotiations but said Costco is an important customer that it is committed to working with "in a spirit of fairness."
Costco Wholesale Corp. operates about 560 warehouses in the U.S. and abroad.

Costco is left wing ahd humanist in philosophy; just read their monthly magazine closely and it will be very evident.
