When Do I Get Virtual Unreality?

I'm the office manager for a moderately large commercial roofing firm. I frequently have to hire large numbers of roofers all at one time to meet staffing demands when big jobs are starting up. It is really irritating on several levels:

1) Many literally cannot tell time, or fail to feel bound by scheduling requirements. You tell them show up at 8:00, they show up at 10:30 and act as though you've inconvenienced them.
2) They argue with you when you tell them the way something is going to be.
3) They ask for an advance in pay or a letter stating that they've been working there for (insert number here) weeks.
4) When told to completely fill out an application, they don't.

There's lots more, but these are the biggest pissers. And this is people who are *trying to get a job from us*, not the guys we already have working. That's an entire other layer of BS.
