Just what is the average “skill-set” of your average Wal-Mart employee?
I’d venture it’s not much and if it’s not much, then the pay shouldn’t be much either.
I don’t like the idea of shopping in Albertson’s here because they, like just about every other grocery chain have unionized employees...the checkout clerks can make as much as $20 or more an hour to do what?
Scan bananas and not know how to make change out from $20.25 for a $13.25 purchase?
The problem here is that there is a move afoot to redefine what an entry level job is and what the pay should be. I worked for $2.85 an hour when I first started working...and I was damned glad to get it.
But as with all things...all one has to do is look at the vocabulary being used today...”deserve”, “entitled”, “worth”, etc....that does a lot to condition the current generation who believe that they are “deserving” and “entitled” to start with middle to high tier wages...
Wal-Mart is paying their people what W-M believes they’re worth...again, skill-set.
