That said, I think Costco is clearly the lesser of these particular evils. I have no doubt that given time they'll turn to shit, but thus far (to my understanding) they at least pay something resembling a living wage and have reasonably consumer-friendly policies.

You're absolutely right. Give credit where credit is due.

But eventually when the line stops going up then all of those worker/customer friendly policies will go out the window.

Oh, absolutely. It's all but inevitable and we're not exactly spoiled for good options in our oligopoly-friendly country, but at least for the moment they're not Loblaws/Walmart.
