Why do you think they have a shit attitude? An old USSR saying they pretend to pay us and we pretend to work. If there are no other options to find work then its Walmart. Also the increase in the cost of goods you are talking pennies to give them a decent wage. Aldi is cheaper than Walmart for food and pays their people better. How is that magic?
There used to be a social contract in this country, that's how we grew and became great. Now it's I got mine fuck you,wages are flat and the middle class is disappearing. Our economy is based on consumption, if people don't make enough to consume there is only some much cheap credit to throw around, you got a big problem.
