Yeah, not at all intending to discount your experience, but as you point out, something there seems off. If it's a full employment market, constant threats of firing don't seem like they could possibly have had much in the way of teeth. For really bad employees, certainly -- but if Jane the fry girl is working at about 85% of the capacity that you want her to, firing her and suffering at 0% of the capacity doesn't seem like an improvement.
- jacalata 13y agoyea, in hindsight it does seem weird. Perhaps they were relying on the attractiveness of the job circumstances overall (great location near the university and a bunch of high schools, reasonably flexible shift times, not really difficult)? Or perhaps that unemployment rate doesn't reflect the actual number of teenagers willing to work but not really looking. I quit, personally, when my schedule got screwed around at the last minute. They seemed kind of shocked.
