I worked at walmart. 8 dollars an hour to drag shit across a scanner wasnt bad, and I dont recall
anyone complaining.
Not sure why that guy thought it was necissary to be such a dick.

It sounds like he wants inflation.

that older guy at the end was right on the money. When he said higher prices it just makes me
cringe because it sounds like he's selling something and nobody likes being solicited.

Are the Amerifats this stupid? 15% pay increase doesn't translate to 15% higher prices. If the
2.2 million workers all get this 15% bump then the roughly calculated "higher price" is still
ZERO.
Rough calculation based on a zero-holiday year where are 261 working days of 8 hour shift, $64
per day. $16704 is the theoretical annual wage and after a 15% increase it is $19209. Total wage
sum for Wal-Mart is $36.7B before the 15% bump and $42.2B after it. Wal-Mart made $17B of net
income last year, so, it would lose $5.5 billion of that. Prices would remain the same. No wonder
it is the Chinese who are in Moon now.

Shaming people that say no is stupid. Most of those people probably don't make much more than 8
dollars an hour themselves.

You do realize that the Chinese are FROM the moon, right?

WM's got mountains money to burn killing competition, and planets of money to burn on image and
advertising.
None of that is spent on infrastructure or The Products. None of it produces anything at all.
None of it benefits the consumer.
But they can't afford to bring workers above poverty wages?
Still, $15/h for low-skilled work isn't gonna happen. Give 'em $10 and quit gatekeeping the
medical/dental/etc care of the plebs.
TBH I suspect the baseline of living is kept hard so proles are scared to breed.

I don't even make $15 an hour. Why do Walmart employees think they're so fucking special?
Life sucks and then you die, deal with it faggots. If you want to make a reasonable wage, get a
real fucking job.

Ehm, was the dude suggesting $15/hour, which is a 90% pay rise. Now - even if that would happen -
the profits would be gone and WM would be -15B on the red. If the profits should be the same as
before then the Wal-Mart prices would go up ~7%. America, you fail.

This asshole is skipping over the issue. Walmart is getting away with making the public cover
some of their wage costs. Why do the walatins need more. They could not take anymore money from
the company and their umpteenth grandchildren would never have to work. The issue is not
consumers not paying enough rather its the higher up taking too much.

If you'd like to issue a retort I'll have one of my commoners assist you.
