"Retail has always paid poorly and it probably always will," he said. "Wal-Mart has a responsibility to serve their customers - to give them a good product - and to their shareholders. They don't have a responsibility to society to pay a higher wage than the law says you have to pay."
I agree with this. If the whiners want the laws changed, they should be continue knocking on the door of their policital representatives to have laws changed. It's the same with the idiots who hate Microsoft. Bill Gates revolutionized computing and the world and everyone want his ass on a spike.
There is no such thing as social responsibility for a corporation. That is why we have laws. If Costco can convince people they big hearts, good for them, but that's a subterfuge. Corporations are in business to make money and have a responsibility to do everything they can within the law to do so.
Talk about biting the hand that feeds. These people who can't find a job anywhere else, then go to work for Wal-Mart and complain. Send them to work in the fields for a while and they'll be begging for Wal-Mart.
And I think George Whalin, president of Retail Management Consultants in San Marcos, Calif. is full of shit and is perpetuating class war. Retailing always has paid like crap so it must still. What a load of dung. And I guess we'll just ignore the prior paragraph explaining that Costco pays $16/hr on average.
Quit comparing Costco to Wal-Mart. Costco charges a membership fee and carries products targeted to a much higher income group than Wal-Mart or even Sam's Club. How about comparing Wal-Mart to Target, Shopko, or Sears, JC Penney, etc? The Wal-Mart bashing is a bunch crap drummed up by the bleeding hearts of the week club. Go find someone else to save and leave Wal-Mart employees alone.
