Those illegals that came into our country this last year...they’ve all got new jobs!.../s
That’s pretty much it. You can’t sell stuff that’s not on the shelves. You need to retain the worker bees that move the freight. Most of that is done on night shift. Walmart has had a tough time finding candidates that can pass a drug screen. They’re hoping the higher wages will help attract people that can.
Retaining people also keep those that can stock faster. Even though Walmart uses Telexons that can scan a bar code and most of the time pinpoint the shelf location, it’s faster if you know where on the shelf something goes. I doubt most people have a clue about how much freight a good stocker can move in a night. Walmart does.
I would agree. I suspect it's related to their recently cancelling healthcare plans for most employees - maybe the pay raise is merely the former employer portion of their previous insurance fees being added to their pay. Or maybe it has something to do with wanting 'To Be The Number One Healthcare Provider In The Industry' .

Reason # 2 - Walmart, being the largest retailer in the world, was selected to field test the new Beast PayMaster System with the public for them. So now you’ll no longer have to worry about carrying all those credit and debit cards and remember those PINs. Just fill fill out the one time application and receive the invisible stamp on your hand or forehead. Now just simply wave your handor forefead over the Beast Paymaster scanner and pay for your goods.
