Don't be so quick to blame all teenagers. I work retail, and many of ours are college kids. Some are better than others, but so are the older workers. What I do is a lot more involved than others, w/no slack time, but I like it. I disagree w/the shitty pay/job argument - he/she agreed to do the job for the money paid.
The biggest problems I see are twofold: either the new employee isn't clear about his/her job, or the managers have poor ethics. Before you jump to give the walking papers, talk w/him/her and make sure they understand what they are supposed to do. It should have been clear at the hiring, but sometimes more clarification is necessary.
Ethics can be a harder rock to bust. Ethics work from the top down. Nothing burns me more than to see a manager spending all day in the office on the phone when they should be walking the floor or stockroom to make sure people are doing their jobs. Too many managers want the pay, they just don't want to have to actually manager people.
