Costco pays its workers about $21 an hour; Walmart is just about $13.

And Costco has its employees pull out pallets of goods, while Walmart sells a larger number of different goods, and relies on a more labor intensive method of operation. Also a big part of Costco's profits come from selling memberships. Walmart doesn't require you to have a membership.

Personally I prefer a diversity of different types of business, rather than trying to force all businesses to be the same.
If companies shift to less labor intensive mode of opertion then they can pay more, but that's exactly what Davidson is upset about in the first paragraph of the article (or at least it was one of the complaints) the the staff was to small to provide service.
