When Walmart came to our small town, every employee worth their salt got a job there and likely added $3 an hour to their wages.

The fact is, that Mom and Pop didn't pay their employees well and sometimes didn't treat them well.

For smaller towns everywhere, Walmart basically becomes the standard for employment. If you can control what Walmart does, you can indirectly control policy and wages at many more small companies and retail stores across the country.
