Walmart vs. Costco - An interesting comparison
http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/06...co-comparison/
I'll admit to being a fan of Costco and pretty ambivalent to negative about Walmart. It seems you get what you pay for.

Nice to see some numbers that back up what I've heard about the two biggest retailers around. Even with the additional yearly membership fee it's still a better place to shop. We bought a cat tree for $75 yesterday at Costco that is half the price of everywhere else. The place was packed.

I get my jalapeno/garlic stuffed olives, french roast coffee, toothbrush heads, and tires from Costco exclusively. Several other things, but those are at the top of my list. I also have my AmEx through Costco. As long as I pay my annual Costco membership, there is no fee for the card. Nice to see that comparison. It should go to show people that you can treat employees right, pay them a good wage with insurance, and still remain very profitable.

Isn't Costco more like Sam's Club warehouse bulk type of business? I'd like to see how Walmart compares to a store like Target or Kmart because isn't that a better comparison?
In any case, hats off to Costco, I know they are treating their employees much better than BJ's wholesale which is in my area and pays minimum wage.

Sam's Club would be a good comparison to Costco. Sam's is also part of Wal-Mart.
