We know that from observing evidence such as how much the government pays out in welfare to Wal-Mart employees.
Customers continue shopping there because human beings are typically incapable of accepting a short-term loss (higher price) for a long-term gain (product lasts more than three uses).

That's a weird metric. If tomorrow Wal-Mart laid off all employees and replaced them with robots, they would surely be worse off, but by your metric Wal-Mart would look less evil?

I mean, I could tell you are disingenuous from the get-go, so it is not surprising you would take an off-the-cuff metric which is accurate right now and invent a strawman scenario where I might continue to use it beyond a point where it makes sense.
Likewise, I would not use my flippant 3 times metric regarding durability to cover the quality of produce.

Groceries typically only last one use.
