Especially with kitchen staff. Even down to low-end (non fast food) establishments, they want people coming in with food prep skills and kitchen experience... while paying them near minimum wage... The last thing they want to do is grab a kid out of high school who is interested and give them hands on experience. In the meantime you'd have to pay two people to do the job, them and their trainer/facilitator/et.al. Oh the humanity!!!1!
