When Hobby Lobby Picketers Find Out What The Company Pays, They’ll Crawl Back With Their Tails Between Their Legs

Not only does Hobby Lobby still offer 16 types of contraception – just not ones the owners consider abortifacients – but it also pays its employees a minimum wage that will make Seattle smile.

As of April 18, 2013 Hobby Lobby raised it’s full-time minimum wage to $14-an-hour, nearly double the national average, and raised its part-time minimum wage to $9.50-an-hour.

“We are very fortunate to be able to increase hourly wages for our employees, because we know our company would not be successful without the great work they do each day in our stores across the nation,” CEO and founder David Green said at the time.

If the libs will just leave these company's alone, the lower earners would be much better off. The libs are so hateful they don't even know who their fighting against.

There is no reasoning with logic when it comes to liberals. They are just looking to blame when they don't get their way.

Yeah, $14 per hour, but average hours are in the teens. Not great, really. This whole thing is ridiculous, on both sides.

Blessings come to those who are faithful. For all those HL critics, if you don't like their policies, don't work or shop there.

8:49 I think so as well. First time I was their was about 2 weeks ago, but I did find some candles on clearance for $3. They were the bigger kind in a jar and 3 bucks is a really good price. A lot of times when you get candles marked down, the scent has diminished but not with these so leads me to believe they are of a better quality.
Also found some knobs for my pantry doors and my dining room closets door on sale for 1/2 price. $3 for the pantry ones which look just like what you turn the hose on with but painted distressed red and glass ones for dining room which were $4. I was pleased to find them because I needed something bigger than your average knobs Lowe's sells for like kitchen cabinets and these worked well.
