Why on earth is the Walmart employment application so in-depth?

I was looking for part-time work and thought.. well why not Walmart. Then I went online and went through the application process and was shocked. It was more intense than Home Depot. I was expecting to just fill out my details and employment history. Of course, I never got a call. Then I watch the quality of the current employees when shopping there as they ignore customers at the Jewelry kiosk. Don't even get me started with the cashiers. Ever tried to get a propane tank refilled there? Anyway, anyone know why they went with an employment application process that demanding for a job that pays barely above minimum wage? Todd, I don't recall ever mentioning that Walmart was attempting to obtain employment with me. That seems very far fetched and it amazes me that your reading comprehension was so far off that you quelled that from my text. Thank you for your incredibly helpfull input however.

1. its a profile quistionar,
2. They get paid above min wage in your area? They start out at min here. I can't believe they didn't hire you. They hire everyone. Don't get me started on Home Depot and Lowe's. I have extensive experience as a handy man doing everything from A/C's to plumbing and everything in between but couldn't get hired. Instead they have some teenage kid that doesn't know crap trying to help people.
3. I never understood that either. They have all of these questions, most being irrelevant. I think they just want to see how many people would be that interested in working for them. I don't know. Next time there's a long application, pass it.
4. The company is hiring YOU, not the other way around.
