I posted this in a thread earlier, but it seems to belong here. I had happened on a discussion of Costco vs. Walmart elsewhere, where it was pointed out that Costco vs. Sam’s Club would be a better comparison, so I looked it up…

Fascinating Costco fact:

A typical Costco worker made $45,000 in 2011, according to Fortune. That’s compared to Sam’s Club workers’ average salary of $17,486 per year, according to salary information site glassdoor.com.

Apparently more profitable too.
