They (and dito Walmart and other such employers) are not paying middle class wages though. Usually it should be possible to feed a family upon a single worker's wage to call it "middle class"... but the harsh reality is that many of the workers, especially those working for subcontractors in fulfillment, are nowhere close to such wages - or to working conditions that are usually associated with "middle class", like being allowed to go on a real toilet and not piss in bottles.
Big companies don't want to be shamed? Then they should not let their employees work in shameful conditions!
