Costco is just starting to establish itself here in Australia. There is currently one store in my city (Melbourne). I personally know people who travel 40+km to shop there so they are doing something right. I understand that more "local" stores will be opening soon.
I'm not sure how the focus on pay & conditions translates across the pacific however; our national minimum wage for casual workers is already AU$20.34 (US$18.54) and we have universal healthcare. So I'm guessing the relative benefits of working for Costco are lower as compared to in the USA.
