Oh quit being so obtuse. They only generated 143 billion dollars in profit last year. How can they be expected to pay their employees a living wage like that??
After all, if they took 140 of that billion and divided it among their 2.1 million global retail employees, that'd only be 66,666 each with a 1.4 million left over. Hardly worth doing, obviously. After all, what will the shareholders say??
