Being in the retail business in a small town I see the need for TFW. My business does not use them as I stay very proactive in trying to find young students to fill my needs. However it is getting tougher and tougher to get these "kids" to work. From 10 to 5 years ago I could fill my student shifts with 2 students with ease, now I need 6 students and still have issues filling some weekends (just Saturdays). Quite frankly they don't want to work. 90% of any resumes that come in just go through the motions to appease their parents. I would call them back for an interview and they either don't answer/return my call.
With the attitudes that I see in a lot of students these days its no wonder they won't go work at a fast food chain. I pay my students more than fair and it is not a tough position compared to working in fast food (the Wendy's night shift sucked, but I wanted my drinking money).
