He noted, however, that the company might stand to gain if Wal-Mart shoppers -- many of whom are of modest means -- had more money in their wallets.

And what the hell is this crap supposed to mean? Is he blaming poor customers for Wal-Mart inability to raise wages? What a f---ing jerk!
Wal-Mart doesn't need a raise in the minimum wage to raise their own wages. They can do anytime they want.

Blah, blah, blah.
