Costco: 184k employees[0]

Amazon: 591k employees[1]

I think you can also argue that a happy Costco worker = more sales, as they help customers better. May be harder to make the case that if a guy putting stuff in a box is happier, the end customer is any happier.

Costcos average customer makes more than 100k a year. Their average purchase is more than $100 and price per item is $10+.

They are basically a luxury goods store and can afford to pay employees more.
