>Instead of paying their employees a living wage
Are you operating on old assumptions? The average hourly wage is $13.38 for full-time workers and $10.58 per hour for part-timers [1]. While that might not get you far in the bay area (which doesn't have many Walmarts FWIW), its a pretty good wage for unskilled labor in much of the interior country (which is prime Walmart territory)...

Edit: Sorry, when I said bay area I was thinking of the area immediately surrounding San Francisco.
- greglindahl 9y agoThe Bay Area doesn't have Walmarts? Mountain View, Santa Clara, 4 in San Jose, Milpitas, Fremont, and that's just in the South Bay.

- dragonwriter 9y ago> While that might not get you far in the bay area (which doesn't have Walmarts FWIW) The Bay Area has, from a quick Google search and review of the list of locations, something like 25 Wal-Marts, which is substantially more than zero.
