This has always confused me, if a company doesn't pay its staff enough yet people continue to work there, whose fault is it? The workers or the company? At some point, there is a natural equilibrium where if they didn't have enough employees they would need to raise the wage.
The only argument like this against Walmart that has ever made sense to me, is when I worked in a union shop thier newsletter had a peice about Walmart made my benefits cost more because those who work there typically get benefits from an external source, ie spouse, parents etc. So this drives up the demand on the benefit providers, making them increase their costs.
