The ironic thing is Walmart actually pays slightly above the industry
average for retail. It is the mom and pop they replaced who really
offers ****ty jobs (generally lower wages and no benefits).
Walmart is actually seen as a good job out in flyover land. It is the
urban stores where you see these protests.

What's ironic is that no matter what the right does to **** over low
income people, you support it.

Nobody puts a gun to these people's head and makes them work at
Walmart or McDonalds.
They usually do it because that is the best job they are capable of
holding.
The cost of labor needs to reflect the value of that labor, not some
artificial number that can't be supported by the sales price of the
end product.

Perhaps they do it because WalMart has driven so many small businesses
out of business and they can't find a decent job anywhere, because the
toasters they used to manufacture WalMart buys in China from factories
that employ near slave labor.
