People at the cash registers

its' not like they don't earn millions and still pay min wage. George if you worked for min wage you would sing a much different tune.

I got edjumacated, and learned a trade. I chose to not to earn minimum wage.

And it doesn't matter two shits that a company earns millions. You pay what someone is worth, not some arbitrary dollar amount, determined by some ******** politician based on what they think a company should pay.

I feel you should pay me a 1000 dollars to mow your **** yard.....because your yard is required to be mowed and I think there should be a minimum wage for lawn mowing.........GOOD GAWD.

Sounds a little socialist to me.........

That's a crock of crap. If it was then you would be making $4.25 and hour while people like us would be making 40 cents an hour. There is ZERO way you can justify that kind of behavior in any normal way involving human beings.

That right there is why Walmart ***** and people bitch and moan all the time about customer service. Pay better and treat your employees better and guess what happens.......wait for it....you get better employees who actually care about their job. It is a business practice of most successful companies, Walmart just happens to be the exception. They are so far gone from the principals that Sam Walton founded that company on that it is ridiculous. Its what happens when greed is out of control. Money is not the root of all evil, but the love of money sure as hell is.

Its atitudes like your George that are the reasons that Unions were formed way back when! It is attitudes like yours that a minimum wage exist. So really, all the things that you believe are ruining the free market economy in this country are the cause of the very things you despise. Now that's ironic!

There's a fine line between greed and doing what's best for business. Finding that happy sweet spot is tough sledding some companies do and some obviously go too far on the greed side. I always wondered why it was necessary for sales to hit 1.5 billion or failure and layoffs were imminent, even if a company raked in a mere 1.25 billion. I just ate at chick fil-a they seem to have employees who are engaged in their jobs while the company is doing well. They probably do respect their employees I'm guessing.
