>Also, some portion of this will come right back to them, as it means employees have more money to buy their goods with.

Doubtful. Wal-Mart would have no problem finding customers regardless of the purchasing power of its employees.

This is just an attempt to counter bad PR by paying their employees only slightly more than as little as possible. It's still a terrible wage.

Don't disagree with you there.
