The worker isn't forced into anything. They can choose the job or not. Further, they're available for other tasks in the 2 hour window. Write a book, advance their careers, invent something. If they take the 2 hours and spend 30 minutes each way going home and 1 hour on Xbox, then they're going to lose out because they didnt make use of the 2 hours. BTW: I had split shifts before when I was a teenager, and I didnt like it. I told my employer and they greatly limited the number of them we had. We also had "Call" shifts, where you had to be ready to work, and call in an hour ahead of time and see if you were working or not... Made it so you couldnt book any hard plans for that whole shift, but 95% of the time you didnt work it anyways. Overall it was a good job, traded my teen years for subway and clothes (spent all my paychecks like any teen would :P )
