i'm not demanding higher wages for them, i'm demanding that my tax dollars not be spent helping them bridge a gap that walmart is too greedy/stingy to bridge themselves

take away the assistance we give them and let walmart either pay the full cost of keeping those workers or let them get rid of them all and hire cheaper people who will do the work for the low salary walmart provides without any assistance from myself the tax payer - win win right? walmart doesn't have to pay their employees more and my taxes are no longer wasted on those people who can't get by on a walmart salary :)


had to fact check this:

Quote
Walmart can afford to pay higher wages.
According to a 2011 report (PDF), if Walmart started paying a $12/hour minimum wage, its workers currently earning less than $9 per hour could each earn $3,250 to $6,500 more per year before taxes. If Walmart were to pass this cost directly to shoppers, the average consumer would need to pay only 46 cents more per shopping trip, or $12.50 per year.


so basically they are running razor thin margins and would need to raise prices in order to justify the pay raise. Im still at a loss how people working a lazy ass job expect to get living wage from a retail giant. Get a better job and stop bitching that youre getting paid like a 14 year old when you have the responsibilities of a 14 year old. Seriously the only difference between a 14 year old and 40 year old cashier is one can scan alcohol and the other has to walky talky someone over to do it for them. Retail managers do all of the paperwork and drawer counting and a responsible for most retail theft protection when there is no hired security team. (managers by the way are paid extremely well at walmart, 92k a year.)

well Hell yeah just go get a better job walk down the street to one of the local retail stores that has been put out of business because of Walmarts predatory pricing policy. What's the matter people? Why don't they just go get a $25.00 @hour job and quit that silly walmart. I mean come on.

I have a question: WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU PEOPLE BEEN? DO YOU HAVE EVEN A SLIM GRASP OF THE REAL WORLD?

This isn't wrong. My cousin has been working at Walmart for most of his career after college and he is making 6 figures.

Programmer -> Advanced Programer -> Programmer Analyst -> Systems Analyst -> Manager -> Senior Manager of Health and Wellness Innovations.

Im not telling people to go be ceos. but if you stay employed at walmart for an extended period of time you have missed the point of resume building and bettering your education.

I took all loans and worked through undergrad and there was ALOT of age 30-50 people in my classes who worked full time and had chunks of bachelors left.

If walmart is your end game society has failed you or you have failed with a terrible choice. That leaves all the room in the world for it not to be your fault, im first in line to educate people about bettering themselves but I don't like to see them crawl for scraps and then try to convince others theres no reason to continually work to improve themselves.
