Costco Japan says it’ll pay a higher than market wage in all its warehouses countrywide. That has some local business owners fuming.

Costco Japan (at least around greater Tokyo) also tend to hire people who speak at least some English in addition to Japanese. However, these people also have to deal with Costco Japan (super packed, people with huge carts and zero situational awareness blocking whole aisles whilst faffing about on their phone not even shopping, etc.), so that definitely requires a premium. I go once every few months and always want to pull my hair out.
Wait, so it’s WORSE than American ones in that regard? Sounds like utter hell.
In my experience (had a Costco membership near Columbus, OH before moving to Japan, have been to 1 Costco many times after coming), yes.
