Ron Daves:I read your laundry list from the Wallstreet Journal of last year comparing Costco with Wal-Mart.

I'd suggest, if you ever need a job, you apply at Costco. I don't think you would be particularly happy at Wal-Mart.

And by the way, did that article also quote bottom line net income figures for both companies? I'll betcha Wal-Mart made out better than Costco. Oops, forgot. Corporations aren't supposed to make money. Right Ron?
