(62,325 posts)such a relatively small salary. He said he didn't need any more, that he had taken care of his family and he had everything he needed.
I had read that he sometimes went to stores and worked with the employees, stocking shelves etc. because he liked doing it and it kept him in touch with his employees.
I asked two employees at the Costco near us in Az, (here in CA it's pretty far away) how they liked working there and if it was true that the 'boss' sometimes visited the store. One was an older man and he told me he loved it. He said he only worked part time, was paid, (three years ago) $17.50 an hour and even though he was part time, he had HC.
His wife worked there also he said and she had coverage also. The other employee, a woman, also said she really enjoyed working there and that they paid well. She told me that it was true that the Boss visited the stores and liked to pitch in.
We need so many more like him. I heard they are opening stores in other countries too. So it seems to be thriving.
