Yeah, they will do things for television that they wouldn't normally do. Like when Extreme Couponers came to my town and paid one of the stores to be in a segment. They made a big show of doubling the coupons and such (that store has never doubled coupons before and never has after). But the store got paid so much $ for participating that they were able to renovate and replace the old stinking (and I mean literally stinking) meat cases in the meat department. It was a vast improvement.It's not that any guy couldn't learn the jobs that video guy did. It's that he only had a one week commitment. Obviously, he didn't blow into town, find a boss who would hire him cold.....for a week. (And who was taping him while he was working??)
That said, I do think that a lot of people aren't willing to put in the work, and part of that is because they never learned how and don't know what to do. They aren't learning at home and they aren't learning in school.
But there is also the factor that there are more people now and not as many jobs to go around.
