What, you expect the flash drives they hand out for free at trade shows to be decent quality?

They are intended to be used to distribute advertising materials, not be rewritten multiple times.

I remember some kid at a job fair in college handing out his resume on flash drives. I remember one of the booths saying “yeah, that’s not getting read.”

It'd be an awful security risk if they did. You can't trust that the USB stick contains the resume to begin with.
