Any large corporation loves this...it creates a larger barrier of entry and it's the right thing to do if executives and shareholders are making million's

That’s not a small business

No teen or unskilled worker will ever get a job their again. There's no way they will pay that much to train ppl. And the process will go up again, like they always do, to offset any cost. That puts us back where we are now but with higher inflation.

They will hike their prices, you twit!

How is this better than hiring twice as many people at $8/hr? And assuming they only hire the best 50% in that scenario, isn't this regressive against those most in need?

Costco can do it. My grandpa who employs over 100 people in Northern Michigan in the hospitality industry can’t. Well, we can but we’d need to fire half our workforce so we could give the other half a double wage. Decisions like this should be regional.

Costco doing a better job at increasing wages than the Vice President.

And prices at Costco/Costco gas will now go up to cover that.

Tell Walmart to #GetOffWelfare and pay its employees a living wage. Cancel your Sam's Club (Walmart) membership, and replace it with a Costco membership.

I love the "altruism" remark. I don't want altruism; I want the selfish desire to do what's right because not to do so makes you feel like a moral degenerate.
