It doesn't do Costco any good if nobody can afford to buy anything.

Paying good wages is not in opposition to good productivity.

I say at our management conferences that the amount Wal-Mart grows in just one year is the equivalent of Costco's size.

You just can't get too focused on worrying about what's going to happen in the next quarter. You have to worry about where the business is headed long-term.

If you've got to work for the rest of your life, you'd better do something you'll enjoy.

When employees are happy, they are your very best ambassadors.

Paying your employees well is not only the right thing to do but it makes for good business.
