That doesn't bother me. I'm not so elitist that I need to always be with people who are me same class as me.
What's more important is that the people catering to me make a living wage. Or, to put it differently, are comfortable with what they are paid without relying on government assistance?
The only kind of stores that I avoid because of the customers are liquor stores where half the drivers in the parking lot are drunk.
- mc32 5y agoWal*Mart, contrary to popular belief is paying $15 in many locations (as good as other chains).
- Noos 5y agothey dont hire full time though, and hours can vary dramatically per week. if you get 12 hours one week and 32 the next, that $15 an hour doesn't help that much. The big problem is we dont do full time work in most retail positions any more apart from the manager and maybe keyholders.
- protomyth 5y agoThe funny part is Walmart is paying better wages here than any competitor in retail space.
- strikhedonia 5y agoThey’re paying a mean of $15 an hour. That’s quite different from a minimum of $15 an hour. Walmart jobs in my fairly HCOL area still start at $12 an hour.
- AuryGlenz 5y agoI just saw a banner outside mine in a very low cost of living area advertising starting at $14 an hour.
