It's not unprecedented. I worked at Best Buy when I was in high school and college (2005-2009). They offered 401K to part-time employees. When my mom found out they offered that (with matching) she basically told me I'd be a fool not to do it, so I did. When I left, I had only saved about $2,500. I rolled it into an IRA, where I've watched it grow significantly in the last 12 years.
