The low end jobs WalMart equals or exceeds target. Now I am absolutely no fan of Walmart and I refuse to shop Walmarts, but they pay a comparable wage to their competitors. This means that they in fact DO NOT pay sub standard wages.
Yeah, a dept manager making $9,000 less a year at Walmart is about equal.
Walmart doesn't pay the benefits of a full time job by refusing to schedule workers for full time hours.

Hang tight. You'll be able to write that same quote over and over again over the next few years about companies big and small, and about employees at all levels.
Your "source" says check related link and the only related link is for Sandals Resorts!
Dude, your blog "story" based theory LIE on the same wiki-answer site... In fact if you had double checked your lame blogger's source you could have avoided the embarrassment.

I don't know about that, Papa John's has already caved in.
Get a clue, everyone is playing by the same rules, and has the same "burdens", why is it that some businesses can succeed in this environment and the whiners fail? The whiners ate failures, that's why.
You cannot paint with a broad brush- There are very kind, down to earth wealthy people who may have large sums of money but are humble. Then there are the Wealthy that are very insecure flashy and downright snobby; these are the ones I cannot relate to and basically just ignore.
No truer words.
I could have applied myself more while in school.
I could have gone to college.
See, this is certainly true, but by stopping there, that's what ticks me off about conservatives who want to blame me for not being a whiz-bang genius entrepreneur.
I could have been born with some skills that are marketable in this day and age. Silly me!
Darn my parents, they gave all the science and math genes to my brothers, and I got all the esoteric writing genes from a more distant side of the family. (Who, as it happens, were quite famous in an earlier era when intelligence and academics were revered, instead of reality TV stars. Go figure. )
Anyway, I never expected to be rich, because I always knew that my skillset would never allow me to become Bill Gates. I also never expected my salary/earning power to become less and less as my 40s wore on until I am now in my mid-50s and making $20,000 a year less than I did 10 years ago. And then I'm told repeatedly by rightwingers that it's my fault and I should get off my butt and start a company, that it's my fault I was laid off twice in the '00s, that health issues without insurance would eat up my children's college fund, and so on and on. I should just suck it up, dammit.
Yep, that really frosts my cookies. Some people just aren't cut out to invent Facebook. Some people fall on hard times in this country no matter how hard they work. Not everyone who struggles to succeed is lazy. Why is that so hard to understand?
When I see a rich person its just a little motivation to re-look at my investments, re-evaluate my career, re-evaluate my small side business, and make sure I'm doing everything possible to get the most benefits possible out of all three.
Would you want the heirs of the Walmart estate to repay the taxpayer subsidies they get from paying substandard wages? I mean, shouldn't a full time job pay enuf that the worker doesnt live in poverty and qualify for public assistance. Shouldn't Walmart et al fund that public aid they benefit from?
I do think the Walmart heirs should pay back all the taxpayer subsidies they have received, but by now it's probably about at least $30 billion , so it's never going to happen.
