Yeah but how much are they going to raise the memberships? ;)
I joke but I do actually wonder if they just take this out of profits or they do something else to subsidize. That's got to be a ton of extra cost. But good on them.
I worked for Costco for a couple summers many years ago, and they paid well above the minimum wage then as well. Nice to see they're still treating their employees right.
Good for them(and for the employees). My parents get everything from costco, they seem to be overall a better place to be a worker than comparable giant retailers.
Costco has offered employee benefits since the first time I shopped there 1998. It was always a big draw.
And Costco will continue getting my business.

I've had a friend there for 25 years. Was making $14hr near the start. Was decent pay back then.
Nice, I thought they already paid that much but I guess not. Either way it's great that they're even going $1 more than the proposed legislation. They're essentially trying to pre-prove that it's doable.
It was when I worked there but that was a decade ago. I left for Apple retail because they had better pay and benefits than even Costco minus the sunday bonus. I think they're about the same now though with this bump. I always tell anyone working in retail to go after Apple or Costco.
Surely these companies have done the research. Paying people reasonable rates helps you actually keep the good ones that meet your internal performance metrics. Presumably, meeting those metrics makes you more efficient and successful
Had an Aunt work at Costco a long time before retiring. Always liked going over there because their fridge was always stocked.
I literally started looking to see if they hired technicians, but the nearest one to me is 11 miles away, meanwhile I work less than 10 minutes frommy house.
I have a friend who has worked at Costco for three years now and she loves it so much. Constantly talks the company up with how they treat their employees so well. I'm sure she's happy to hear this, although I think she makes decent money already so it might not even affect her.
I could go for a Costco hot dog right now.....

Thats what I've heard anecdotally. And that Costco just went with the plan that its cheaper to retain people than pay them too little and have too much turnaround.Costco seems to have already paid decently compared to their peers.
Costco employees reveal how much they really make
We used self-reported salary information from both PayScale and Glassdoor to take a closer look at what Costco Wholesale workers make.www.businessinsider.com
When i worked as a Deli Clerk a Costcos open up next door to our store. Kicked myself wondering why i didn't jump ship they treated their employees so much better.
They treat their workers in a way that should be the bare minimum in this country. As a major retailer that means a lot to the local retail labor market. As a customer their return policy is unmatched. Also, I'm a big fan of their credit card. Always go cash over reward points. I flash them a rewards email once per year and they just start laying $1200 worth of 20s on the counter.
My seven years of employment at Costco ended when I got into the games industry many moons ago.
I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Costco. No joke. Such a great place.

Yes, there's a few positions that will typically net 40 hours, though it can vary store to store, and you'll often need flexible availability to get that high. I was 40 every week when I was a team member.
I believe all their employees also receive company sponsored healthcare so even before this raise they were receiving much better benefits than what the vast majority of retailers give hourly employees.
This is literally the motto that they live by. I used to work at Costco for a couple years and from top to bottom, it definitely feels like everyone cares about their job because of the compensation received, whether that's pay or benefits. It goes a long way to improve the quality of life of your employees.
I was working in the Costco food court while in college about 4 years ago now.
on top of excellent pay and benefits, they give time and a half for working on Sundays. But boy do they put you to work. Hardest "fast food" job I've ever had. Costco can get insanely busy.
