You're trying to compare oranges to apples. These two stores are completely different business models.

As far as the ratio of top management to worker salaries, I don't like them any more than anyone else, but they are private companies and are free to do business as they please within the law.

I don't like it, so I vote with my feet. It's a rare time when I darken the doors at Wal Mart OR Costco.
