It's finally done. I consider this, along with Google's toolbar, a must-have for Firefox.

Daily Kos: A**hole analysts rag on Costco

Funny. These were my exact thoughts when I read this story.

Some Wall Street analysts assert that Mr. Sinegal is overly generous not only to Costco's customers but to its workers as well.

Costco's average pay, for example, is $17 an hour, 42 percent higher than its fiercest rival, Sam's Club. And Costco's health plan makes those at many other retailers look Scroogish. One analyst, Bill Dreher of Deutsche Bank, complained last year that at Costco "it's better to be an employee or a customer than a shareholder."


No, Bill Dreher of Deutsche Bank, almost anyone in a position to be a major shareholder of Costco is better off than a $17-an-hour Costco employee. Your statement is almost as ridiculous as the Wall Street Journal calling low-income Americans "lucky duckies" because they don't have to pay taxes.
