Its NOT about Walmarts employees, its about the Walmart 'SUPERGROCERY CHAIN' coming to California and Ralphs, Vons, Albertsons' saying well hey, If walmart doesnt have to pay as much and doesnt have to give benefits maybe we will lower it all too.'

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.
