I see so few people who understand this. Years ago I applied for a job at Walmart, during the interview I explained that 30 hours a week wasn't enough for me. They printed out a sheet on all the "benefits they offered". It was simply a list of all the programs available for low income individuals, they weren't offering anything. Walmart alone costs the taxpayers 6.2 billion[0] in grants. Increasing the minimum wage only puts those costs on them as opposed to the taxpayer.

- youdontknowtho 10y agoI agree. It's crazy. Walmart more than makes enough money to shoulder that cost themselves. The business in the article does the same thing, but to a smaller degree.
