Everyone likes low prices, until they realize that the low prices is why they are out of a job or not paid very much for the job.

And, by then, there isn't much that they can do about it, except continue to shop at the low price store.
Walmart doesn’t pay low wages because paying more will put them out of business. They pay low wages because enough people support their business model for them to do so and ethics are not high enough on the company’s priority list.
