at cvs, lipitor $150, and at costco, $15.nd then we are talking to the consumer editor, lisa gill. why the discrepancy in price? >> we have been doing the secret shopper survey for a number of years and this was the most -- really the most surprising results we have ever seen. those price differences talk about two different things. stores use their pharmacies in different ways. stores like cvs, they are meant to generate a lot of revenue and profit for the stores and that's fine. you see it reflect in high prices. stores like costco, walmart, sam's club, they try to bring in traffic through having lower prices in the hopes that people will buy other things. and the other difference is cvs and rite-aide, they are on every corner in the us practically, and with a store like costco, even though you pay much higher prices, you have to plan your visits, and pharmacies close at 8:00 at night and they are not open on sundays. so you can see the difference there. >> and the most expensive were cvs and rite aid, and target. a random

costco now is the second largest shipment in the world. he told a story to me and jim and peter which i thought was really i was in. he said i have been the chairman of costco since 1997. business is a funny animal. he says you can take a business up and take your business to the ground. he was so right on, because when you are in china, when you are 60 you have to retire. he's getting close to that age and he's got the other guys there and he said they are going to be running the show. i thought it was good that he talked about that. i'm going to talk about it today, we have my friend here senator brian shots. the us senator from hawaii. a little bit about brian, he shows up today in the lobby and everybody thought he would have security guards with him. he was waiting for me. we went upstairs and had a great meeting and took him to the cruise terminal. at 40 years old, he started out as 40 as the us senator, went to school in california. he worked in the state legislature in hawaii for 4 terms, he was chairman of the democratic party in

we've got a mess in the checkout aisle at costco. and when another shopper starts recording it, watch what happens. hear why the punishment handed down was harsh. >> oh, you're kidding. >> he's a blind runner who was determined to finish the boston marathon. until monday's tragedy. hear what made him realize he could not go on. >> what did you think was happening when all of that started and all of that chaos began? >> having bombs go off around the last family member that i have left was pretty frightening. >>> a walk in the woods leads to a video called the mysterious plant. >> see the freak of nature that left one couple creeped out. >> i feel like it's mad and it wants me to get away from it. >> plus, the coy pond floor that let's you walk on water and whose turn is it to walk the kitty? i have a couple of videos for you guys of people behaving badly. first in wrigleyville in chicago, illinois, you've got a bathroom in the midd a pizzeria in the middle of the morning. this happened because some women cut in line at the counter in

the cheapest were familymeds.com, healthwearhouse.com and costco.hed out to some of those pharmacies for comment and cvs told us the following. pricing surveys do not accurately reflect what most pharmacy customers pay for their prescriptions and not effective in accurately comparing prices. a random price check of only five drugs is too small to draw meaningful conclusions about. best overall value for its customers. do you agree, is your survey accurate representation of market prices across the board? >> we made over 200 phone calls to pharmacies all around the united states. we called independent mom and pop pharmacies and large, big box stores like sam's club and costco and target, walmart, walgreen's, posing as just a regular consumer. sort of what my grandmother might face in indiana. getting a price on popular medications. actually, that's why we chose those medications because millions of people take these drugs every month and, in many cases, can't afford them. one thing we were surprised to find out. cvs has an interesting point. when we

>> he said she did have a few words for him and eventually calmed down, left the costco. but by that point, police had shown up. no charges were filed against her, but she did have to forfeit her coastco membership. >> oh, you're kiting. >> if you're embarrassed because you were being filmed because you were acting like that in a public place, then don't act like that in a public place because there's cameras everywhere. >>> the images in this video are very dramatic and hard to watch in some parts. it comes from china. an internet cafe caught on fire. if you look at the bottom of the screen, you can see the furious fire coming from the windows of the cafe. not only is that bottom floor bunig,he da smo mi f top windows and there are people standing on a ledge above that first floor with someone else dangling from that window where that smoke is coming out. the fire started at the cafe, but it spread to the nearby hotel. one of the most difficult parts of this video comes right about here when you see this. and, again, it warn you, it's very difficult to watch. two people,

people what happened is customers realize that i can't get the service i normally can so they move to costco and target and that affected wal-mart's numbers so the market regulates itself we don't need people to meddle with it we don't need socialist or status or centralized government to to equal the field with the free market i mean. marx learned i want to jump in here fran if i were going to break it let me go to let me go to fred what wal-mart wal-mart is a classic let me follow up with that rachel one other thing too is that the idea that there's some sort of rigidity in the corporate structure of america or the wealthiest americans anyone who follows forbes richest people in the world index

if you don't like it, they'll come get it. >> this is from costco? >> costco. they'll pick it up. got to remember, this is the foam. but the priciest foams were almost 2,000. >> arthel: that's true. which is probably why i stay away from them. does it get hot, the foam? >> some can. this one didn't. this one has gel. gel actually can help that. although we tested for which one's wick moisture away. this was really good at that. >> rick: what's the life span of a typical mattress? like when is it time to go out and buy a new one? obviously if you're falling through it, you know. >> when it's sagging, lumpy. most people replace them typically at ten years. our durability test, they mimic the eight years of life. so you're looking at eight to ten years typically. if yours still feels good, it's not saggy, lumpy, and it's 15 years old, enjoy it. >> arthel: when you have these types of memory foam or pillow top, do you have to flip the mattresses? >> you don't necessarily do. that's one trick you can do with inner springs. with memory foam, very often you can't flip them. so that's one

another example, cvs is $180, at costco, $15.a gill about the huge difference between the drug prices. >> i have to say, we've been doing this secret shopper survey a number of years and this was the most shocking -- actually, really most surprising results we've ever seen. those price differences do reflect at least two different things. stores use their pharmacies kind of different ways. some stores like rite aid, cvs, they're meant to generate a lot of revenue, a lot of profit for the stores. and that's fine. you kind of see it reflected in high prices. stores like costco, walmart, sam's club, they really try to bring in traffic through having lower prices in the hope that people will buy maybe other things. the other difference, too, is that cvs and rite aid are so convenient. you really pay for that convenience. those pharmacies are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. they're on every corner in the united states practically. with a store like costco, even though you'll pay such lower prices, you'll have to really plan yo

big one, costco, walmart, target. pick one, not two.atioe iskdificdi. >> let's say you wanted to bolster it with an international element, where would you go? >> i'd go to japan and be short the yen. ycs is one place you could do it. i think almost everybody would agree the yen is going to be much, much weaker. i think that's a great place to be internationally. >> so that is today's lesson. >> well done. >> you should be a professor. >> you tweet it, let's get to the tweets. microsoft or apple, who leads the next leg up? >> i think we're starting to flesh out apple. all the bad news and negativity is starting to get to a point where you have to be a bauyer o the name, especially on the price. >> but do you agree with the notion that one of them will lead the next leg higher? >> i don't necessarily agree with the premise. so i think that there's other leadership, there's a couple names in retail, we spoke about it the other night. macy's, costco, mcdonald's. utilities that you want to be in. i don't think that's true, the premise that y

this is a moral issue, and the moral issue is reflected by companies like costco that starts workersecause the head of costco told me in a telephone conversation he believes in good wages and benefits. wait -- david: it's much better to have a job in the first place. it's much better to have a job of some kind. two out of every three minimum wage workers get a raise within one year, so the point is when you get your foot in the door, when you have a job which a lot of these low skilled workers don't have right now, that's the beginning of something good. >> listen, david, listen to me. stop interrupting me. there's a very important point here that has to be made. historically the minimum wage has raised up the lower level of income. historically, it's done what henry ford did in 1914 when he doubled the ages of his workers. it has increased consumer demand. there are thousands of economists who say the problem in this country, there's not enough consumer demand to increase jobs. these people need the barest necessities of lifement -- of life. if there are a bunch of workers who are g

a few retailers, notably costco and l brands, former limited, scored nice gains in march, in an otherwise lackluster month. the blue chips closed at 14,865. nasdaq up three, another 12-year high for that one. and s & p added five to finish 15,193. and during the session, disney, home depot, 3m and proctor & gamble reached highs. >> the biggest decliners were big tech names. hewlett-packard fell 6 1/2%. intel down nearly 2% and microsoft tumbled about 5% and here is why. new data showing a sharp decline in personal computer sales in the first three months of the year and that along with two analyst downgrades on microsoft is hitting the software giant especially hard. john ford has more on microsoft and what is next for the one-time darling of wall street. >> for the pc business, the outlook just went from bad to really, really bad. more expected a strong start to computer sales. things always slow down for hp, dell and apple after the holiday season. but these days they have to contend with smartphones and tablets stealing away customer attention and dollars. analysts were expecting pc un
