They also spend a lot to lobby in politics.

    Isn’t Costco the least shitty retail job? That’s what I’ve always been told. I’d love a similar analysis of Walmart and Dollar General, so I have some frame of reference.

        It actually shows in the attitude of the workers there. Workers at Walmart always seem worn down and irritable while workers at Costco always seem awake and engaged. It really is noticable.

        They do. Like getting about 20% versus %5 to everyone else drinking Raegen piss.

        Edit: I don’t know exactly. That’s probably an overestimation. I do know that people who litterly get paid to drink piss make more.

        I forgot about Aldi, since we don’t have it around where I live. Aldi is probably better. I don’t know about how the pay compares, but they respect their workers enough to let them work sitting, and that alone propels them to the top.

          The continent of Europe is so wide, mein Herr Not only up and down, but side to side, mein Herr. I couldn’t ever cross it if I tried, mein Herr. But I do, what I can, inch by inch, step by step, mile by mile, man by man.

      If you consider tracking your employees and customers via ALPR (Flock & Co.) to be a factor in “least shitty”

        That can certainly be a factor, but do they differ from the competition in that regard?
