The retailer says the change will create consistency in starting hourly pay across individual stores.

    Oh quit being so obtuse. They only generated 143 billion dollars in profit last year. How can they be expected to pay their employees a living wage like that??

      After all, if they took 140 of that billion and divided it among their 2.1 million global retail employees, that’d only be 66,666 each with a 1.4 million left over. Hardly worth doing, obviously. After all, what will the shareholders say??

        So they could increase all wages at or below of $10 to $43 and still get bonuses.

        God don’t you love America?

      Yeah plus they have over 2 million associates per their website. Even if they COULD give everybody a raise, that’s only like $70,000 per person.
