You make too much sense. the WalMart bashers will not understand.
LOL...I know.
As a WMT shareholder, the only reason I want for WMT to raise worker's pay is out of necessity...i.e., they cannot attract capable workers at their current payscales.
Everyone that assumes WMT is caving to the 'left' here doesn't realize that WMT already pays their workers MORE than minimum wage, which is an important fact.
I look at this as nothing more than a statement that WMT wants their 'typical' shopper to have more to spend in their stores....it is not a statement on WMT's political or financial philosophies per se; they are too smart for that.
