  There are definitely some benefits but when holiday prices increase by 4x the breaks become harder to utilise. Pension is great, but when the negatives outway the positives…

    Well, the thing is Costco might have a nice CEO now, but if that changes all bets are off

      Seriously they could have a great path to enshitification that people want to pretend could never happen. But they have so far made a great place where people want to come to and spend money at but all it takes is a change to caring a little more about the quarterly profit margin and Costco could become hell.

      But sure corporate retail jobs will fix everything for all Americans.

      We need real fixes and regulations.

  You do not get paid for summer breaks. It’s the same as if you took an unpaid vacation every summer, but put some money in a bank account every month to cash out for it.
