nobody is holding gun to anybody's head, if they don't like it then they don't need to work there... if they raise wages higher then they won't be walmart, since they will have to raise prices on products to support it, and if they raise prices less people will go there, which will decrease revenue and then they will need to fire other people to keep "part of the family"... as I walk through walmart I see a bunch of employees not doing jack shit, stacking one shelf for an hour, talking to each other like they at the party, their photo section always on a fucking lunch when I come, I don't see WHY they need to get paid more.... they are working at walmart, not a freaking law firm

Wal Mart won't make it they keep up this kind of shit. So, they can do what they want -- but they're idiots for doing it and they're only hurting themselves in the long run.
My sister in law just left a producing job at a major agency in New York City after 10 years, because she's been doing all the work in her department and making the same wage for a long time. With what they spend in one day on a shoot with a celebrity for an ad she produces(and gets almost no credit), her boss could have given her a boost in salary to keep her there. She just found out they had to hire 2 people to do her job and they're already fucking shit up and costing more money to the company. This is what happens when you treat your employees like some piece of meat that makes money for you.
Actually, I was in a similar position myself years ago, and left with a group of other really talented people but unappreciated people. That company is circling the drain right now.
There's nothing wrong with making billions -- but don't be evil, or shit will catch up with you.
