Costco gets some of its glorious low prices by negotiating with suppliers really really well and some of it by doing the logistics really really well. But doing the logistics really really well also means having a properly optimized number of warehouses - and the optimization probably prioritizes the spoilage effects less, because not too much of the things they sell are amenable to spoilage. Not an effect on the butcher because they have onsite butchers and ship whole sides of beef and things, but for produce there is an effect

repost but a good repost https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2017/11/western-elite-chinese-perspective/ coolguy posted:To me, Costco represents the best of American capitalism. It is a corporation known for having its customers and employees in mind, while at the same time it has compensated its shareholders handsomely over the years. To the customers, it offers the best combination of quality and low cost. Whenever it manages to reduce costs, it passes the savings on to customers immediately. Achieving a 10 percent gross margin with prices below Amazon’s is truly incredible. After I had been there once, I found it hard to shop elsewhere.

The only downside is I don't think they would bring me a Dog or Hot Pizza. i tried it 2.5 years ago they put a 40% to 100% markup on it and then a 25% non-tip delivery fee on top of that and then a 10% minimum tip on top of that

realistically, it's the fact that they have an insanely good batna handy so they make manufacturers fight against each other to give a better quality product and a better quality deal walmart does the same, but only for a better quality deal, product can go gently caress itself. also, everything else about the company is poo poo

Much of the consumer benefit of Costco is by putting suppliers on the rack and twisting them until they give discounts and guarantee quality. This requires that they have the viable threat of walking the gently caress away. This also requires that they exercise that threat every so often
