Have you read "Punching In"?

During a two-year urban adventure through the world of commerce, journalist Alex Frankel proudly wore the brown uniform of the UPS driver, folded endless stacks of T-shirts at Gap, brewed espressos for the hordes at Starbucks, interviewed (but failed to get hired) at Whole Foods, enrolled in management training at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and sold iPods at the Apple Store.

The book Punching In describes this and why many large companies do it. The short version is that the companies have found what works and what does not work when hiring workers, therefore they're going to look for people who will do well at that company. The sort of worker who will do well at WalMart has a different personality than the sort of worker who will do well at Ann Taylor.
