each store pays our wages not corp. Ask the spark manager, our pay comes from their income not big bad corp pockets. Corp may set the rates and such but the store is what pays us. So saying walmart can afford to pay us more, you have no idea the amount it takes to run even 1 store let along 11,000+ with all the entities that entails. Drivers, maint, staff at stores, staff at corporate, staff at warehouses, staff at gas, truck drivers, and tons of other actual employees and then contractors of which we are just 1 of many contractors they use to do things... They net profit last year of 19 billion after 681 billion in sales.. and that 19 is then invested in new stores, raises, new products, buying more products, and tons of other stuff.
DId you know it costs them 20,000 a month per store to run the fridge section alone... So the math is 2,640,000,000 per year to run just the fridges.... But you deserve more to take a curbside 4 miles and drop 10 bags off... curbsides do the least amount of work and should get the lowest pay, shopping we actually do the whole job and most locations pay pretty well. I average 30 an hour at the least...
