Years of experience vs. on-the-job training

This thing, why is it that basic jobs want years of experience when they always say they are willing to train the right person? I've never understood when jobs say x amount of years preferred and when you actually show you have relevant training, they say forgot all your training because this is how we do it here. Why bother to ask for prior training if you're just going to train a person on how to do the job anyway? I personally haven't been to any job that has used my previous experience and just let me do the job without training me how they want it done. How many others have been through this or experience this yourself?
