really? The small shops in my town could barely afford to pay employees minimum wage and their goods were much higher priced.
Walmart gave more people jobs at a better wage and reduced the costs of most goods for everyone.
I looked at their average wages on payscale.com (hard to libk from my phone) and the max for most positions is close to $15/hour. The minimum is above minimum wage.
Almost anyone can do these jobs and they are hardly a ’pittance’.

That's only been true within the last one or two years as Walmart attempted to avoid further labor-related litigation and unionization efforts. Prior to that, Walmart payed local minimum wage and frequently stiffed workers for time spent checking in and and out shifts.
