It’s hardly fair to compare Costco and Walmart. Yes, both are big box retailers, but Costco pays its workers a fair wage and has a generous benefits package–unlike Walmart, which pays next to nothing and gives its employees classes on how to sign up for government aid programs like food stamps. Any one who’s ever been or had family who are “blue collar” workers should avoid the WalMarts of the world – Give me Costco any day over Walmart!
