    What makes you think a local grocery store will pay its employees more than walmart?

      First, because in my personal experience, locally owned businesses pay and treat their employees better than corporate run places that focus only on profit for the owners and shareholders. Second, they couldn’t (legally) pay them less than Walmart does.

        locally owned businesses pay and treat their employees better than corporate run places that focus only on profit for the owners and shareholders.

        From my experience, all businesses are trying to maximize profit by paying their employees the least they’re willing to accept. Local businesses don’t pay employees more nor do they ‘treat their employees better.’ It’s all business.

        Second, they couldn’t (legally) pay them less than Walmart does.

        Why not?
