So shoppers didn’t think it was a good idea to pay workers more that they are worth and to increase prices to pay for it?
I Wonder why.....
Walmart has to keep their prices at a reasonable level so retirees like me can afford to shop there. Also they have competition from retailers like Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS - drug stores in my western PA area where I also shop. Even the grocery stores are selling many of the clothing and food items that Walmart carries. Then there’s the discount grocery stores that are shaving Walmart’s profit margins. Savvy consumers price shop and will migrate accordingly.
