But when I see resumes with like Starbucks - 4 months, McDonalds - 6 months, Hollister - 4 months. Right away I think this person either gets bored easily, has commitment issues, or a combination of both and can't hold a job.

I could very well be wrong, but your resume's all about impression.
True, but if the job change reflected on location or perhaps a better work experience, id think it should be fine to put it down. For example, going from dishwasher to sales associate, to manager for something..

One thing that will be alot harder to do though, is to get good and reliable references from managers when you only work for a few months...
