Funny how costco manages just fine while paying a decent wage.

No mystery here; Costco is selling bigger-ticket items to people with more money, and I'm pretty sure they have lower labor costs (pallet racks, no hand-stocking the shelves).



Costco has another advantage; on average it stocks only about 4000 items. Compare this to a typical supermarket, about 40,000 items. A Walmart? 100,000. Keeping track of and restocking a store with only 4000 items would seem to be a lot easier than restocking a store with 40,000 to say nothing about a store that has to restock 100,000 items.
