I've hardly claimed to be an "expert." I know my issue. I can argue a point.

Is it so hard to believe that managers purposefully hire only those wishing part time employment at minimum wage so they do not have to pay overtime or incur a benefits requirement...especially after you've been told as much from the mouths of the very same managers that this is their policy on employment and hours?

Do you have to be an "expert" to notice that during the recent economic boom minimum wage workers still can't get the no. of hours they want from their primary employer forcing them to work additional jobs? Do you really have to be an "expert" to connect the dots?
