Costco is awesome. I’ve been a happy member for 25+ years. They also treat their employees really well.

re: #106 BeachDem

Yeah, all that article showed was that Costco knows how to market, and the writer had to go back to 2002 for the “research.” None of the examples were “tricks” nor did they indicate anyone getting fleeced.

I read an article 20+ years ago where Wall Street was downrating Costco because they — gasp — paid and treated their employees well. Not a proper business model! No way they can survive and turn a profit! I dropped my Sams Club and joined Costco for just that reason, and haven’t regretted it at all.

Number Twelve on this list of so-called “tricks.” We have a friend who works there and says yes, they still treat their employees well with way less turnover than their rivals. Funniest thing.
