What is labeled "acting white" is usually labeled acting mature, civil and practicing good manners with others. Showing up on time and doing your work consistently is also important. Those qualities are missed by the "losers". A local Walmart manager said she had plenty of people applying for jobs. The problem is they didn't actually want to work. They thought simply showing up earned a paycheck. Nope! They didn't come back to "work".
The hourly is low and the company thinking is at fault. If they raised the hourly by $1 they would keep more new hires who would actually perform and the total cost of the approximately $1100 per new hire for background checks, drug tests, uniforms, etc, would be immensely reduced. I used to hope for that raise in pay but now prefer it to stay as it is. With another dollar an hour I would be stuck at 32-40 hours a week and much less money. The District Manager and had a conversation about all this. He said finally that an accountant, to get a job at the company needn't know how to add and subtract.
