Subject: hiring locally [& Walmart]
I was surprised to have an employee at one of the new chain restaurants near Lowes ask me if Pittsboro was a small town. She’d never seen the town and commutes 40 minutes each way from Durham to her job here in Chatham.
How does a big chain “hire locally?” Not only do they have to get applications from local folks, they have to pick them. I wonder how Walmart does this – can they discriminated on the basis of location?
