A friend of mine's wife manages pharmacists for Target. Trust me, no "big box retailer" is cutting wages or benefits for pharmacists. They are far too hard to come by, especially ones willing to work outside of traditional 9-5 hours. Pharmacists are so hard to come by that senior ones can pretty much make their own schedule at Target.
My guess is that Wal-Mart is using the prices as a loss-leader to attract more customers into their stores. The question is whether or not they're going to be pulling in anyone that they weren't pulling before. I have my doubts, but I'm sure that there's research in Bentonville showing the opposite.
