The implication that Walmart and Target executives have a worse idea about what's best for their business model than someone who reads an article about CostCo is hilariously disingenuous.

The implication is that Wal-Mart and Target executives have a worse idea about what's best for their business model than Costco executives, which is not necessarily correct, but neither is it obviously wrong.

Walmart employees are HEAVILY subsidized by welfare programs; to my knowledge, Costco employees are paid well and do not need these programs.
