Spent a few hours delivering for @UberEats. 1. SF is an absolutely beautiful town. 2. Restaurant workers were incredibly nice, every time. 3. It was busy!! - 3:24 delivering out of 3:30 online. 4. I'm hungry - time to order some 🍔🍟🍺

Costco. 51M members/770 stores/$140B sales. Avg markup 11%/retail norm 25-50%. 3,700 SKUs/40K norm. 250,000 employees/150K FT). $21 avg hourly wage. (2X retail-Walmart avg.) 88% healthcare coverage. Shareholder value maximization be damned (but share price up 387% since 2000).

It’s the third anniversary of the shortest, and most correct, article in the history of the New York Times.

[Jeff Nemecek @datamonk]

@DatabaseJournal This article would be sad if it weren’t so dangerous in its wording. So much wrong and misleading information drawing misguided conclusions.
