This rung a bell - the Container Store pays its retail workers extremely well (at least if you believe their numbers): http://www.triplepundit.com/2014/10/three-equals-one-contain...

If they're really investing a lot in their workers, then they want a perfect fit or ideal type of background. If they believed the writer was a risk to pack up and leave a year down the road, it makes sense that they wouldn't take that risk...
