A long time ago, there was a McDonald's in the Darien, CT area that found it was cheaper to bus in workers from NYC because the local kids refused to work for minimum wage. Other similar area businesses would only hire retirees because the local teenagers either didn't want to work for low wages or wouldn't show up consistently. The (technology) company I worked for at the time ran into this problem. We had a high-schooler who did some product photography and other miscellaneous tasks. He took the job to pay for gas for his motorcycle (dad agreed to buy it for him, but made him get a job to pay for the rest). He'd show up for a few days until he had made enough money, then would disappear until payday. IIRC, at the time Darien had the second-highest per-capita income in the country, so its problems were a bit unusual. Unusual problems require unusual solutions.
