    It’s such a fucking scam. Not only do they rely on the government to subsidize the wages of their employees, but they also then turn around and spend that money at Walmart.

      @prole
      The reason for the second half of that should be pretty obvious… Walmart tends to have lower prices thus allowing their employees to buy more, yes it is usually cheaper, in both meanings of the term, but it is what they can afford on their shit pay.

        Yeah no shit, and? It’s still a scam and they’re still basically subsidized with my tax dollars.
