    Oh quit being so obtuse. They only generated 143 billion dollars in profit last year. How can they be expected to pay their employees a living wage like that??

      After all, if they took 140 of that billion and divided it among their 2.1 million global retail employees, that’d only be 66,666 each with a 1.4 million left over. Hardly worth doing, obviously. After all, what will the shareholders say??

        So they could increase all wages at or below of $10 to $43 and still get bonuses.

        God don’t you love America?

      Yeah plus they have over 2 million associates per their website. Even if they COULD give everybody a raise, that’s only like $70,000 per person.
