Tell you what - you convince America to pay more for items they're getting the low prices on at Walmart, and I'm sure you'll see the payscales increase.

Being a cashier is a job a 14 year old can do (and many ARE 14). It's a minimum wage job. Why SHOULD they make $8-10 an hour, plus a 401K, plus $200+ a month in health insurance benefits?

Everyone wants it both ways - the consumers want items for cheap, but they want businesses to pay $$$$ for their unskilled workers. Economics 101 says it just doesn't work that way.
