These guys are right Tony, it's like that everywhere.
Before I started in this biz I was in retail management and it was the same thing.
Phone would ring 5 times a day
Them: Y'all hirin?
Me: Always looking for good people
Them: How much you paying?
Me: Depends on experience. It would be better if you came in to fill out an application
Them: What shift you hirin fo?
Me: I need people who are flexible and can work different shifts
Them: CLICK
They don't want a job. They want bankers hours and a paycheck, with no experience and no education.
I had several people that literally started from the ghetto, no education and no experience, got hired at minimum wage, worked hard and were willing to learn, and within 6 months got promoted to management making a solid middle class income.
Some of those moved up to District Manager within 5 years and make a solid upper middle class income.
Yet hundreds of others got hired, and came in late all the time, called in sick, did a half-assed job, complained about everything other people didn't do that they thought they should have done, complained about what someone else got that they thought they deserved, stole things (or money) and got themselves fired.
These people spend their entire lives bouncing from minimum wage job to minimum wage job. It's pretty sad considering the opportunities are there if you're willing to work for them.
