Just FYI, costco treats their employees fairly well so people have this image of them being a progressive corporation - they are not.

"The Teamsters recently filed unfair labor practice charges against Costco for expelling union representatives, harassing workers for wearing union buttons, sending employees home, removing union literature, and even changing locks on union bulletin boards.

That's like 1% of working Americans, it's absolutely fucking huge.

Well crap, I was going to give Costco a Luigi-pass, but I guess they're back.
