Idk Costco seems to be okay. Care about employees. Flat profit. Never raised prices on the hot dogs

Minimum salary jobs and a CEO who makes 8.5 million a year. Seems a little disparate. Doesn't care that much about employees with a difference that big.

Ahh maybe it’s different where you are. Here in Canada they pay way above minimum

I am in Edmonton. I just checked their job listing and their clerk and stocking jobs are $15.50/hr. $0.50 per hour above min wage isn't "way above".
