He must be reliable and be doing a good job.
My local Walmart is seeing a huge turnover. Hardly any of the staff up front is the same as six months ago except for the retirement age ladies. Most of the new workers are very young kids. One little girl (with light blue streaks in her hair
) was very chatty and said she had just turned 18. She's in there every time I go during the day so at least she's showing up. The only department that's kept its people there is the pharmacy, they're all the same crew for at least a year.
The local Fareway grocery store is known as a place for high school and college kids to work. They don't pay great but they're known for treating workers well. The founders of the Fareway chain are very devout Christians, run the chain with small town values, and live right in town here so they are pretty sensitive to what goes on in their store. All the over 18 workers are high tailing it for better paying jobs and there's a bunch of high schoolers in there now who have no clue about anything. It's kind of rough for everybody, but they'll get through it...
