That's probably why you see WalMart primarily in small town area's. $6.95 to a young high school/college student/elderly/etc in those area's is great money.
I worked for WalMart during my two years of college. I loved it, and thought it was a great experience. Back then, I was making $5 something.... and I got about a $.30 raise each year. I thought that was awesome. Of course, now I know better... but it didn't take much for me to live on in a small town.
