so why just boycott walmart?

You should boycott any fast food places, in fact most restaurants pay less than minimum wage + tips. I know any pet store I have worked at also started out at minimum wage.

It's not just walmart that pays low, it's everywhere. Lots of people are single and live on their minimum wage.

I was a collection agent and I only made 7.50 to start (I think our minimum wage is 7.15 but I am not sure it might actually be 7.50 now) and then went up to 8 dollars an hour. I brought in thousands of dollars a month but I didn't even make $1000 a month.

LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of places pay crap wages and LOTS and LOTS of big stores put little local stores out of business. LOL I will never understand why it's just walmart people boycott.


Did you come up with an idea for a photo yet?
