One more reason to dis-like Wal-mart

[Drolefille]

Eh, yeah they COULD pay the baggers. But I think that Mexico should change the laws before expecting a corporation to be "better" than what their own country expects. You can't really get upset at a company doing something entirely legal without blaming the people who made the situation possible in the first place. And if there's not support for changing the law (So that teens can make extra money for their families by working strictly for tips) then that is also not Walmart's fault.

I'm willing to bet that paying the baggers will lead to increased prices in Mexico. This of course comes down to the essence of the Walmart argument. People want those low prices. They don't want the prices at Walmart to go up and they don't want to stop shopping there, but they want wages and benefits to go up. That's an ineffective way to get a point across to a business.

I'm not saying there aren't plenty of people who won't/don't shop at Walmart, but the parking lots are always packed around here so clearly they aren't hurting for business.
