Why would walmart care if they piss off customers if they know people will still shop there for the low prices. Not like they can shop anywhere else on their wages?

Our point is that your examples aren't making sense to us. Why would an employer hire more people rather than simply cut costs across the board? Why would that racist employer actually hire a black person when there are plenty of white people unemployed in this economy? Why do you assume that employers would NOT exploit and abuse workers when that is why the minimum wage was created in the first place? Or is it acceptable for workers to be exploited?
