People need to stop focusing on raising wages and instead focus lowering the cost of living.

I mean I guess making $10 is better than $9.50I'd advise job hunting unless you're a teenager or something. I got a 3% bonus on what I made from April 2014 till March 2015, on top of pay raises every 6 months, and another pay increase next year in June.

You should really expect this bullshit from Wal-Mart. Like you should expect them to do anything possible to cheap out on everything without seeming like a completely obvious evil corporation from an 80's movie. The store I work at raised the minimum wage for employees to $9/hr so now they're of course cutting back hours.As far as actually solving the whole insufficient income thing Lowering cost of living would take a lot of effort and money, raising the wages just requires sneaking a bill by the lobbyists that raises the wage immediately by a significant amount. Yeah sure there might be some turmoil at first but the end result could be that businesses start making more money because the low income workers are suddenly making enough money to actually buy stuff.
serves you right for staying there so long

It's basically customer service over the phone though. Just help people troubleshoot stuff.

However they have a very low turnover rate and the only jobs ever really open are janitorial jobs.

Not that any of the other jobs available would be enjoyable.
Walmart changed our raises.
