Would you hire an experienced employee with bad habits or an employee with no experience?

I can train a job to a person willing to learn and work hard. Getting a lazy person to work is an uphill, losing battle. FYI.

I guess you're right if you define lazy as someone who travelled from the other side of the country to attend the interview and spent a considerable amount of time on the presentation only to be told that I don't have "luxury" experience.
