There are a lot of people who choose to support business that treat employees fairly and refuse to shop at or limit shopping at places that don't treat employees well. Furthermore there are people who are fine paying a little more for better service. And on the whole companies who treat employees better have happier employees. And generally happier employees provide better service. People also tend to prefer businesses who's employees are knowledgeable. Lower employee turnover over time will lead to more knowledgeable employees. So there are benefits. Overall people will buy what is cheapest and don't care who gets trampled in the process because most Americans are greedy and selfish. So Walmart and the like will still have their core consumer base and will continue on screwing the world for their own pockets, but there is a significant number of Americans who value companies for their business practices and not just price.
Capitalism at work.
