I'd like to add something else.
As far as people continuing to shop there, even if those people made enough money to conceivably shop somewhere else, I'm failing to see how it is the fault of the buyers for how much the corporation pays their employees. If less people shopped there, they wouldn't suddenly raise the salaries of the employees working there - they would shut down store locations, downsize, and fire staff.
And if things get really bad, they require customers to do things for themselves, raise prices, or switch to machine operation wherever possible.
The company I used to work for, when the housing market burst, went so far as to let their receptionist go, leave a telephone at the front desk and a notebook, and required customers and vendors to dial back to the appropriate desk themselves. I never asked who distributed the mail.
