(1) “They pay low wages.” Well, if they were low, nobody would accept to work for them. The truth is that WM hires many people who would be otherwise unemployable (single mothers who have been on wlefare for too long, etc. A job, even an entry-level one, gives them dignity and gives them the skills to search for better jobs in the future.
(2) “They sell low quality goods.” If that were true, then why are WM stores so full of people buying there? WM sells merchandise at low prices, which make families’ incomes go farther. Is that bad?
What’s really insulting to some of us is that the anti-WM groups want to influence local and regional giovernments to keep the stores from opening. Such government interference in the market stinks of communism. People who dislike free markets and competition so much should consider what happened to the USSR (failed and collapsed) and Cuba (the poorest, weakest country in the hemisphere).
