Anecdotally, I became a COSTCO member the week when its previous named company, Priceclub, opened a store in a neighboring town in Long Island. That was back in 1987, the same year when I got married. Before I moved upstate, upon retiring in 2021, I hugged COSTCO employees goodbye at the Nesconset, NY store. Many of them grew up working there, and always acted the way content and respected employees do. Customer service was outstanding. Thank you for highlighting a great business that, as you assert, may be showing us a way out of the political quagmire we're in. Happy New Year!
An interesting comparison. I'm rooting for both Costco's and Mondami's authenticity to prevail and show us how to overcome Trumpism.
Excellent report, Rex.

Yes, Costco employees tend to be loyal. Clerks average $30/hr, which is a lot higher than in comparable jobs.
