    On a side note, this crap makes a good argument for raising the minimum wage. It gets paid for one way or another.

Except in the case of government subsidy we all get to support WM, whereas with a minimum wage, only WM patrons support WM. Big difference, IMO. I hate that I'm a de facto WM shopper even though I've never bought a single item there.
