I think Wal-Mart also knows that people come there for the cheap prices, not the customer service.
If they raised wages the might attract better overall employees, but those people may well be smart, more driven, and/or focused and would possibly want more opportunity and more from the company. Like I said before, they don't want to rock the boat. They have a good thing going and are raking in the profits.

That's the thing I don't understand. It seems like they really lack long-term vision. Treating your employees like family that you actually care about will create employees who will happily go the extra mile for you, and that will keep you in business for long time. It doesn't help your image to have all of this bad press of how you're basically a modern day slaver.
