Why would the employer still choose to hire you after you refuse to sign? Everyone else signed with no complaint. Clearly you plan to learn our secrets then hand them to our competitors.

You'd know why if you've hired low wage people (I have). Finding one who'll show up sober on time and do the work without needing micromanaging is gold, and you're not going to lose him over a stupid, and likely not enforceable, non-compete.
Workers are not an undifferentiated mass of interchangeable cogs.
