Reply #12: I'm at a newer Costco

[DoctorMyEyes]

the only one in Delaware, and it's only been here six years. Since Delaware is "the home of tax free shopping" and Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania are only minutes away (and Costco rocks! lol) we are VERY busy!

I've read about the Price stores on the west coast. Did you know that the former Price stores have remained unionized under the same union they had before Costco bought them? My store is not unionized, but it's a very agreeable company to work for. I work hard but am treated fairly, and as a progressive I can feel good about working there.

Costco is the "anti-Walmart". They value their members and employees. They value their shareholders too - but not above everything else. I think people who invest in companies like Costco shouldn't be looking for a "rape and pillage" model, but a sound growth stock.
