Article from the Houston Chronicle via Fark[*1] :
Costco’s average pay, for example, is $17 an hour, 42 percent higher than its fiercest rival, Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Club. And Costco’s health plan makes those at many other retailers look Scroogish. One analyst, Bill Dreher of Deutsche Bank, complained last year that at Costco “it’s better to be an employee or a customer than a shareholder.”
What a thought! Treat your employees well, and they’ll treat your customers well. Nah, it’ll never catch on.
