Chapmans has consistently done the right thing. They gave their workers a pandemic pay increase then made it permanent.

I don't mind occasionally shilling for a corp if they treat both customers and the people that make the company what it is right, in tangible and concrete ways.

I think that's good, Costco is responding positively to workers' pressure and threat of using their leverage. Where most companies respond with union-busting sticks, Costco uses a carrot.
