I've never been to Wal-mart or Sam's Club but love Costco (to be perfectly honest, until a few years ago, there wasn't a Wal-mart anywhere near me so that was easy). I live alone so don't generally buy food at Costco but toilet paper, paper towels, Zantac and other drug store stuff. I want to support them because of how well they treat their employees.
