Here's a thought; stop paying massive bonuses to managers in multi-national corporations for underpaying employees & keeping absolute minimum staff on the floor. How about hiring or giving employees enough hours to make ends meet, instead of keeping their hours below 30 per week to hit artificial expenditure targets that Managers have to meet, or they don't get their Quarterly Bonus Payout? How about REDUCING massive wages of CEO's that are 100x what a floor worker makes? Stop paying the 1%'ers so much cashola & you can hire more bottom-end workers to better staff your stores. Ever been to a Lowe's? Or a Home Depot? Ever had to search the whole store to find a single harried employee wearing 4 different hats, to try getting some help? The CEO of Home Depot makes 10.2 *million dollars* per year total compensation, $900,000.00 *in cash*, every year....  but sometimes you walk in the store, and you've got maybe 6 employees in the whole place, & 3 are cashiers. Cut the CEO pay!
