Their employees are paid fat bank [seriously, $12.70 an hour STARTING PAY FOR CASHIERS?! SIGN MY ASS UP!], their prices are very fair, their customer service is tits, and their CEO refuses to take huge bonuses, instead distributing them throughout his company to keep up a motivated workforce.Sounds like you've just described all the ways that costcos model is inferior to Walmarts to me.
If even just 25% of the rest of the companies in the US held such practices, all my gripes with capitalism would be completely and totally gone. If 50% did it, I'd renounce any and all forms of socialism. And if they all did? We'd probably be an economic golden age.
