That is a problem I didn't think of. In the big city everything is more expensive. So you have to pay your workers more than just what is required by law. Otherwise it is true I can see how many would not want to work there for less. Part of the problem I imagine is because they shift your schedule around so mutch. It is near impossible to have another job if you work at Wal Mart because of this. Further I imagine Wal Mart isn't the only big corporate franchise that poses this dilemma to its workers.
