• Walmart Ditching Justin Bieber, Celine Dion For In-House DJ

    As by far and away the largest retail store in the world, with revenues worldwide of $482.2 billion in the 2014 fiscal year, Wal-Mart is doing well as a business. It has come under fire over the past decade stemming from its treatment and pay of employees. It has largely ignored those pleas, but signs are that the company is changing. Minimum wage will increase to $10/hour, potentially to get ahead of a federal increase in minimum wage to the same dollar amount, and it changing the music in the stores. The music currently comes from a CD, which plays on loop, consisting of a lot of Celine Dion and some Justin Bieber, a very high concentration of Canadian acts. This has been driving employees crazy and the company announced at its shareholders meeting Wednesday that the company would employ a DJ, who would curate the soundtrack to its U.S. stores. The program is called Wal-Mart radio, which would be played to all U.S.
