In this case it's probably because teachers are underpaid. Costco happens to be one of the few known for treating their employees well and going beyond legal requirements.

Costco in my area pays less than Amazon and is also a hectic 8 or 10 hours on the floor with limited breaks.

That in any case, and not just that. Whether or not teachers or doctors get payed, ,basically we needs them, or we're back in the stone age. While Cosco's employee is not worth a damn for progress.
