"Big Box Retailers" already start you off higher than minimum wage and even higher with experience. Being an employee of Sams who is owned by Wal-Mart, the only workers that may start off at minimum wage is the cart crew, and they are also entitled to the bonuses that they give throughout the year as well as raises throughout their career. So,while raising the wages will not be a bad idea, but keeping it as is, will not hurt much and also keep the prices from going up.

Some of Wal-Mart’s prices are low. These two stores are taking the world over. Half of the time you may go in Wal-Mart wanting to spend twenty dollars or less and you may end-up spending more. Wal-Mart and Target are monopolies who are taking business from smaller stores. Also, people pay taxes and buy items for businesses to stay open. Prices are already too high, so people do not have the ability to pay high prices. Anyway, some businesses probably do not agree with paying their employees, but some corporations pay their employer’s living wages because they want to work for them.
