If it was just the retail end, those jobs pay low, have high turnover, and usually little training, perhaps a one day orientation. If someone is a trained mechanic they'd be working as a mechanic, not just stocking and check out and basic customer service. I'm sure businesses would love to have better trained staff, but the economics don't really allow it. You can't pay for highly educated staff at all levels and still run a profitable business.
I used to work at a technical bookstore. We sold books on hundreds of topics, having to do with computers, physics, math, engineering, all kinds of stuff. One staff member might have an interest in this, another might have an interest in that, but none of us had masters degrees in any of the fields or anything like that. We could direct people to books about the topic they were interested in. One night a customer came up to the cashier, showed him a problem in one of the physics books, and asked him to explain it. I thought that was funny. What was he thinking? That we were all full professors in multiple topics who could answer any question you had about the information in any book, but chose to work retail jobs for low wages..? |
