Ended up getting to be friends with the SA and he said it was a huge problem, they had tons of damage on customer's cars as well as new cars that the lot guys moved, but the owner was steadfast on giving them a chance. Now I'm all for programs like that, but let them do packaging or assemble simple stuff, but don't have them moving freakin' $50,000+ cars around.

yah, a local supermarket uses such programs. toilet bowl cleaner in the same bag as my veggies

, meat with dry goods

, frozen foods with kids' notebook and bday cards (completely ruined obviously)

and one pulling at our shopping cart to take back into the store WHILE i was placing said ruined items into my car.

after 5-6 of this, i dont go there any more. i think the program need to find the right jobs for these individuals instead of just letting them 'try it.' same goes with smoking 400lbs crack grease marker.
