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. And yet people sing the praises of a COST while WMT has to work hard to improve its name. Thats because many liberals like shopping at Costco but have targeted Walmart as a villain. Its part of the liberal worldview to have designated mascots and villains. Its hard for you to imagine that they care about the people who work for them. That's too bad. I think Walmart management cares as much about their employees as Costco does. But for both of them they do what they need to to get the workforce they think they need. 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. I am talking as a general rule. Yes, there are exceptions but the general rule still applies. I'm talking as a general rule too. Some people show up with a work ethic and some people show up looking to do as little as possible. Regardless of how they're treated.
