As far as I can see, Walmart bashing is a national hobby and people just repeat what they have heard without checking it out.
I know 4 Walmart employees, they all like their jobs, earn more than minimum wage, and receive benefits.
Walmart also hires the unemployable to be greeters. Maybe it isn't a great job, but it is pretty darn good job of no one else will hire you under any circumstances.
Employees seem to not understand that they must produce value for the company in excess of what they are paid. Their job is not there to provide them with comfort and all their living expenses in exchange for nothing.
Minimum wage here (Oregon)is slightly over $9 and I know a whole bunch of people who would not give you $9 worth of work in an hour. I would bet it is the same in Hawaii, except that worker is costing a lot more than $9 an hour and still not doing $9 worth of work.
