Comment on Costco Japan Pays Workers a Fair Wage, Local Businesses Seethe - Unseen Japan

Costco Japan (at least around greater Tokyo) also tend to hire people who speak at least some English in addition to Japanese. However, these people also have to deal with Costco Japan (super packed, people with huge carts and zero situational awareness blocking whole aisles whilst faffing about on their phone not even shopping, etc.), so that definitely requires a premium.

Wait, so it’s WORSE than American ones in that regard? Sounds like utter hell.

In my experience (had a Costco membership near Columbus, OH before moving to Japan, have been to 1 Costco many times after coming), yes.
