You call it worker abuse. The facts support Walmart does want (what) is common practice in the industry.
What facts?

Do you have examples from the other top 10 retail companies you listed that are consistently cited for not paying overtime to hourly workers as required by the FLSA?
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that all “hours worked” be counted when determining overtime hours earned. Federal and (most) state law require that overtime eligible employees be paid 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the workweek
