There is a difference for me an my cohorts, as we work in the back room receiving. Generally you get a "more mature" sort working that type of job, and the need for full-time is much more important. Same with overnight stockers. These are positions where full-time is much more important.
Plus, they couldn't do that with us. It would just completely cripple them. We are the "lifeblood" of that store. Without experienced people bringing the stock into the store, you would have considerable problems. Not to say that we aren't at all expendible, but we are the last group that you can do that with.
And with night-stockers, there wouldn't be many employees willing to work nights on a part-time basis. It would just be too difficult to keep that schedule, and then they would have regular turnover in staff.
But the average floor associate? Absolutely. Other than the core staff of managers and department managers, you could mostly have a revolving door of staff without losing too much at all.
