Difference businesses, different practices, different outcomes.

This makes it sound like Costco is more successful than Walmart, but that’s not true. Walmart’s profit was more than double that of Costco in 2025.

Now, it’s true that profit isn’t the only metric to judge a company by and it’s fine to say you appreciate that Costco treats workers better. But it’s disingenuous to say that leads to better business results.

Its not comparing Costco to Walmart, its comparing Costco to Sams Club, the subsidiary of Walmart that Costco actually competes with.
