They also get rid of positions altogether basically every 6 months. When I worked there they were chronically under staffed and most of the staff they do have are useless, or at least act like it, and I can't really blame them.
Walmart's problem isn't just the wages, it's their manipulation of hours. They give just enough hours at inconsistent times to limit an employee from getting a second job, while not providing enough hours to make an employee eligible for health insurance. Until there's more regulation on this issue, or consumer accountability, then all walmart has to do is reduce employees by another one or two hours to make this wage increase functionally mean nothing.
