--Amazon has more than 15,000 full-time employees at 69 different warehouses (fulfillment centers) in the United States and of course the program is limited to full-time employees. What industry or job have you ever seen a employee working 20/hrs work week getting benefits?

Where are you getting your information from?

It has been a few years since I worked there, but I am pretty sure the threshold for qualifying for benefits at Starbucks was actually 20hrs/wk. Their basic theory was that training was one of the most expensive things they had to do, so giving people an incentive to stay for a while was a net benefit.
