means giving everything

back to the member that we possibly can.

about doing the right thing.

- I think about fairness and transparency

in all aspects of our business.

(upbeat music)

- Two things come to mind
when I hear Costco culture,

respect and security.

Security because the company
takes care of its employees

and we all feel very safe on our jobs

as long as we do our jobs,

and respect for us as
individuals and us as a group.

- I get excited when I know

I have to get up in the
morning to come to work.

- Culture is a way of life
for a group of people.

Since I came to this country

I worked for big corporations
and companies before,

but when I came to Costco
I see the difference.

The difference is how much
Costco cares about employees.

that care about you at your workplace.

helped out by their fellow employees

that I just love the family values,

and the family atmosphere at Costco.

- In one word?

Cheese.

For my family,

Buying one block of
Tillamook cheese once a month

saves me 60 bucks a year.

That's culture to me.

the trust in our products for our members,

and our outstanding pricing.
