If you pay more than minimum wage you can demand more from your employees because you have the option of replacing them with more capable people. Costco, Trader Joes, and a number of other companies have learned this.
People that are living on starvation wages rarely make good employees. The results are high turnover and poor employee moral.
And when you OWN the company you can follow the Costco model. As for Walmart, it is THEIR decision to determine the worth and wages - at or above the gov't mandated minimum - of THEIR employees ... not mine and certainly not YOURS.
So it's OK for a company to collect tens of billions in taxpayer paid subsidies then pay so little that their employees can qualify for welfare?
The company is not collecting the subsidies. The people who refuse to improve their skills are and it's the government that has made it easier and easier to suck on the taxpayer tit is responsible for that.
