Isn't Costco the least shitty retail job? That's what I've always been told. I'd love a similar analysis of Walmart and Dollar General, so I have some frame of reference.

I was always told Costco employees get paid well in comparison to any retail job.

It actually shows in the attitude of the workers there. Workers at Walmart always seem worn down and irritable while workers at Costco always seem awake and engaged. It really is noticable.

Welcome to costco. I love you.

Dollar General is a scourge on poor people. Walmart is a scourge on its own employees and the federal government.

I forgot about Aldi, since we don't have it around where I live. Aldi is probably better. I don't know about how the pay compares, but they respect their workers enough to let them work sitting, and that alone propels them to the top.

The continent of Europe is so wide, mein Herr Not only up and down, but side to side, mein Herr. I couldn't ever cross it if I tried, mein Herr. But I do, what I can, inch by inch, step by step, mile by mile, man by man.

That can certainly be a factor, but do they differ from the competition in that regard?

At least they have union employees

He is not well liked. Besides quintupling his pay compared to the last guy, he also replaced the muffins with absolute garbage.

I hear anything over 5x is when social ills increase.

More than double 5x5x5 is beyond taking the piss.

Hate to point out, but that's the wrong use of this meme template. I respect the effort though, did not expect to see this template in English-writing segments of the socweb

There is no wrong way to use a meme template. You cannot limit expression.
