Everyone with a working brain.
Okay, let's all pretend that the Washington city council decided workers needed a break on wages. Straightforward and simple.
So they randomly picked those business characteristics out of a hat. Somehow square footage is very important, as is the size of the owner company.

Fuck living wages for those guys.
And of course, we allow a waiver if the store unionizes, which excludes any unionized stores.
Gee, who all is left standing?
And not to put too fine a point on it, Wal-mart is specifically named in the law. Twice.
