2. Walmart's employment is structured so that they will NOT have to pay benefits and so that their workers cannot go past part-time. In contrast, the drug dealers I've known had a much, much better pay/work structure and much better employment terms. (Still no benefits, but you CAN generally work full time.) Why on earth, given those facts, would kids from an environment where drug dealing is considered just another occupation, choose Walmart over drug dealing, especially if they can find a selling territory where the risk of being caught is low or where if they are caught they serve time in a local jail?
3. While we're on that topic, Walmart does NOT and WILL NOT schedule around college students' schedules. So how exactly, are these hardworking, upwardly mobile Walmart employees supposed to take classes?
Okay, number two is just ridiculous. Yes, there are people who would rather deal drugs then work at a minimum wage job, but how can you blame Walmart for that?
And maybe your Walmart won't schedule around college classes, but the one around here does. I know a lot of people that work there, and I would say about 30% of the staff consists of college students. Even if they weren't willing to schedule around classes, how is it Walmart's fault? It's also up to the students to figure out their own schedules. Don't put yourself in classes every day of the week, on the hours that you know your employer will need you. I know you can't always choose when your class will be, or you might not get the ideal time slot you wanted, but that's not Walmart's fault.
