Revolving doors are bad for business. It takes time and effort (=$) to train a person.
Customer service also suffers from revolving doors as well.

I work on the third shift grocery night crew and apart from the manager and second man I'm the only full-time employees The rest is a revolving door. Nobody aspires to work retail/fast food as a career unless no other choice.

As with most corporations if you do not fit into Walmart's hiring matrix you will not be hired despite your qualifications.
I've read where Walmart demands an employee population that will not cause discord towards other employees or management. In other words Walmart hires people that will take and execute orders without question or complaint.

Anyone that has shopped at Walmart can tell you this is true. Cashiers with customer service skills, product knowledge, or even the ability to add paper to the cash register are rare.

I don't know if you all know who Tesco are, but they didn't want me. Maybe that's a good thing.
