Companies like Costco sell their products just as cheaply as Sam's Club, their stock price is doing a lot better that Wal-Mart, and they provide a much higher salary and quality of benefits to more of their employees than Wal-Mart does.

That's not germane to Wal-Mart being the pre-eminent employer in the nation and earning $10 billion in profit.

Dang and this looked so much like a thread with great potential :)

Well actually it is, when part of that plan involves salary and benefits and treatment of employees.
