Wal-mart v. Costco - Greatest_profit_per_employee?

Great article demonstrating how treating your employees well improves loyalty and improves the bottomline with far less turnover and expense.

First hand, at two Costcos I frequent, there are lifers - I have seen them for years. At Wal-mart - only senior people I recognize and the odd employee.

For the second half of 2003 I went every 3-4 weeks and easily spent in excess of $200 each trip. Yes you have to be smart, and yes not always are they number one in value/prices. But they have great meat and good prices generally on dairy; their electronics are far out in front of Sams-which stocks US junk of years gone by.

Enjoy..
