Walmart workers are paid comparably to workers at Kroger and Target.
Walmart is able to charge low prices because they make up for it in volume. They make up for it in volume because they charge the lowest prices.
It is. If mom and pop stores want to stay in business, they can take a hit to their paychecks so customers have a better deal. If they aren't willing to do that, then they shouldn't get to stay in business. It is business, after all. I'm not getting ripped off just to be nice to someone local, lol.
Bragging about being equivalent to Kroger pay is... sheesh...
Yeah I don’t think they get that countered their own point. All of em are corporate places that are cheap and pay shit.
The one corporate retail chain I'd give a pass to is Costco. They show that it is completely possible for all of these larger chains to compensate their employees fairly.
