they are the best of the best...well, most of them. wink

The customers though. I don't know why but the Concord (CA) Costco has the meanest and nastiest customers ever. Just trying to get a parking space there is a battle of wits. People speeding around to get a spot! It's so bad, I wish I had another Costco I could go to closer, but alas.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful exchange to remind us that there are good people in this world still and Costco has some of the finest employees around here. I dread shopping there but they have some of the best offers out and I like that they take care of their employees with a good salary and benefits. Haven't been to Walmart in decades because of their business practices and how awful they treat their employees. Less pay, not enough hours for benefits, employees get on SNAP benefits, which is wage theft to me.

Thanks for sharing something positive in this world today. hugs .xx
