Which then makes those less qualified (remember quality is subjective to quantity when it comes to the hiring pool) less likely to earn a livable wage at Walmart because they won't have to pay it (unemployed people are desperate people in a Grapes of Wrath sorta way) which means shopping at Walmart sucks worse. Walmart has to stop buying Made in America and instead buys from China and American manufacturing jobs are lost. Now fewer people buy at Costco and more people look like People of Walmart. But even with lower revenue Walmart still makes the bottom line by reducing expenses.
And as long as we think of people as expenses to be minimized this is what will continue to happen.
BTW I hope like the dickens y'all have a merry Christmas.
