Fuck the worker!
I honestly can't believe what the money-changers are complaining about now.
...Costco Wholesale Corp. often is held up as a retailer that does it right, paying well and offering generous benefits.
But Costco's kind-hearted philosophy toward its 100,000 cashiers, shelf-stockers and other workers is drawing criticism from Wall Street. Some analysts and investors contend that the Issaquah, Wash., warehouse-club operator actually is too good to employees, with Costco shareholders suffering as a result.
"From the perspective of investors, Costco's benefits are overly generous," says Bill Dreher, retailing analyst with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. "Public companies need to care for shareholders first. Costco runs its business like it is a private company."
Unbelievable. God forbid a large chain company gives most of their workers health care if the shareholders aren't raking in the dough! Seeing stories like this make me want to support the death penalty in certain cases.
The article also shows where all those jobs Bush talks about being created have come from.
Wal-Mart last year added 99,000 jobs in the U.S., making it the country's biggest job creator, and nearly all those positions pay by the hour.
Remember, the economy's doing great!
