do you have figures on what all the other employees at all other retail places that pay minimum wage are being subsidized in government money? Probably not due to the fact that only walmart is under scrutiny. Take a look at any mall. Do you think the employees at the Gap or at Borders or at Bath and Body works working the registers make that much more than minimum wage? What about Target? Don't hear much about that, now do you? Why don't all of you who are throwing rocks at Walmart for their horrible wages go take a poll at other retail stores and find out what their starting pay is. Maybe...just maybe you might then see the light.

No, no, no - you can't ask them to get away from their feeeeeeeeelings aagainst Walmart. It doesn't matter what the others pay, only that they believe Walmart doesn't pay anything but the barest minimums (/sarcasm)

Starting hourly wage at the local Walmart is nearly $3.00 and hour more than the identical job in any other local retailer.
