In reply to the discussion: I Shopped At Costco [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)Because they value people! I was telling a friend in Oregon who said there was a COSTCO and a WalMart where she lives. She was having trouble in her small community finding small stores to shop, although she wanted me avoid big box stores on principle. She told me a horror story about a store employee at WalMart. It was so disturbing, broke her heart, and said she couldn't give her money to an outfit that treated their workers so cruelly. She didn't know about Sinegal or the healthcare the employees get, or that they fill prescriptions, so she says she will happily shop there now.
It's not easy to get a space in the parking lot at COSTCO, and somedays are so busy it's hard to get around in the store, but it's good to see employees who are relaxed and happy. The other store I give my business too is a union one with very low prices. I go to COSTCO for bulk items. I think this is a very good area to live in up here.
