They know when they are treated badly and act accordingly. Why don't they just quit WMT and go work at COST or at some other place that "treats" them better?

I understand what costco is doing perfectly. You seem confused though about this enlightenment thing. You think Costco is run by fellow members of the (self) annointed enlightened and Walmart is run by evil benighted meanies. You're wrong on both counts. I don't know that there is a difference between the employees of the two companies You already said there was a difference in how the employees treat people. But you don't prefer not to think that has anything to do with the employees themselves. , but I do know that they are treated better at COST. They want to hang on to good people. People are not stupid, Brumar. They know when they are treated badly and act accordingly. Some people are stupider than others. And some people are better employees than others. Its not just a matter of uping everybody's pay and suddenly everybody becomes "enlightened". I've managed people and they're not at all the same just because they're treated the same. Its nice for businesses when the local politicians will keep competitors out. WA state has a very competitive marketplace.....without WMT. If existing businesses are able to keep competitors out WA has a less competitive marketplace than it could have.
