(10,926 posts)They pay well, so they're heroes. All very nice.
Now tell me a few things:
1. Do you think Costco might endanger a few Mom and Pops? (God no. Only WalMart puts Mom and Pop at risk! Costco exploits buying power to offer discounts over smaller, higher cost retail! WalMart is DIFFERENT because they exploits buying power to offer discounts over smaller, higher cost retail! Can't you see how that's different?)
2. Do you think they ignore people who have little money? (God no. Everyone can afford to pay a fee for the right to shop somewhere, can't they?)
3. Do you think maybe they encourage people to buy more than they need, and therefore overexploit resources maybe just a smidge? (What?!? EVERYONE needs 5 pounds of salmon every week!)
All good, of course, so long as they pay employees well, right?
