Walmart

[skids]

Oh, and a recent report came out analyzing Walmart's pay structure. If you start at $8.15 an hour, in 16 years of full performance raises you'll be all the way up to.... $10.65 an hour. Basically they say the reason they don't pay their employees squat is because all the jobs are low/no skill jobs, so there is no reason to pay more.

Could you link to this report so we can read it?

Frankly, having shopped at Walmart, I begrudgingly agree. Cheap crap, cheap prices, and cheap labor all equals saving money on what you buy, but forget about customer service if anything goes wrong.
Btu what do you expect from full grown adults serving the public for part time High School burger flipper money? Sure, we all love the cheap crap, and I guess it at least provides employment for people who would otherwise compete for jobs frying tater tots at Sonic.

I would bet most of the guys on here that are ok with the low paying wages by these mega billionaires would not work for those wages. How about Mud? Would you work for those low paying wages to raise your family on.
