My brother works in the grocery retail business so I'm always talking to clerks about their own job experience -- Costco folks to a person always say they love their jobs. <BR/><BR/>As for WalMart, if you can deal with it (and like you, Matt, I cannot), you can save a lot of money in that place. Sure, your kid may get lead paint poisoning from the sweet Lightning McQueen cereal bowl you got for a quarter, but I also know from grocers that you can buy staples for 20-30% less than I choose to at my local market. <BR/><BR/>Fortunately, I'd flush that savings in gas money, so I don't feel too bad.AMRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914904745033720478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799650447665044592.post-63258096846650493972008-07-10T21:17:00.000-04:002008-07-10T21:17:00.000-04:00A tshirt for ya:http://www.tshirthell.com/funny-sh...A tshirt for ya:<BR/><BR/>http://www.tshirthell.com/funny-shirts/walmarx-always-corporate-greed-always/Vamp Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08701258618897728647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799650447665044592.post-84079408895149669292008-07-10T10:23:00.000-04:002008-07-10T10:23:00.000-04:00Well, they didn't get mine.

BUT, Costco is "well known" for its good employee compensation and providing health care etc. Wal-Mart is well-known for how terribly their employees are looked after re: health care. The last I heard, they were "trying" to improve in that regard, so maybe they're better now?Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470299166892375356noreply@blogger.com
