  2. Ok, I want a job at TYT and I want to be paid a "living wage."  That is common sense, right?  I bet they won't even consider it.  Many things wrong with this discussion.  First, this drive was set up to help associates who went through hardships like a death in the family or a home burning down or a medical condition.  Those are things that unfortunately happen and even if best planned still hold people back.  This is just pathetic that these two will rip on a business trying to help people who face hard times.  When one of my co-worker's dad died (when he was 17) us as a company donated food and money to help with the funeral.  That is what helpful societies do where crazy asinine liberal like these two idiots just rip on it.  Sorry your life is so great with no problems.  If someone happens to one of you don't accept any help from you business you work for. Next, you can't define a living wage.  Too many variables.  So raising the wage to a living wage makes no sense since it can't be defined.  Also, when people face hard times their living wage goes up.  So that means if someone's house burned down they all of a sudden deserve more money.  That is what they are saying. As a whole business want to pay employees more.  It increases productivity of workers, has them stay and improves business.  At the same time they have to sell an affordable product.  That is the challenge of running a business.  Walmart is a 24 hour store that has to please stock holders as well as pay workers.  As a whole they simply can't afford to pay higher wages.  They would love too but can't.  And if they were so set on paying every worker dirt they would pay everyone the min. wage but they actually pay more. If these workers want more money they should develop a skill and move up.  In our society they are actually not very productive and can easily be replaced thus they are not worth much.  Walmart already has self checkouts.  If needed too they can fine other automatize ways to do business if you force them to pay employees more then what they are worth.
