One of the reasons Walmart can charge such low prices is the low wages they pay. It would seem that the haters don't care that forcing Walmart to double their labor costs would hurt a lot of low-income people. I guess it's just contempt for the poor.The senior I help care for, I took to walmart food market after taking her to the dentist. I was surprised by how much food she was able to get for less than $50 on her food stamp card.
After taking her home I prepared several dishes for her for the next weeks and some for the freezer. Well balanced meals and a variety to tempt her poor appetite.
For those on a budget, why pay more than you have to? If you can save 25-50% off retail, it makes sense.
I don't like her eating fast food or frozen TV dinners when I am not there.
Why are people so negative on walmart? Even without unions the employees seem to like working there and will go out of their way to help you find things, not just give directions.
I'm not a shopper so I don't care how well decorated a store is. I'm usually in and out as quick as I can.
