  • I was a hiring manager for years and my store manager did this.

    First 2 weeks as i was getting to know the crew, i noticed they were all in high school, mostly women, and on the better looking side. Then as the months we on, he put me in charge of hiring and i actually hired based on skill and personality since that’s what matters in retail.

    He always had the final “approval” interview and i could tell he never liked the smart ones or ones that weren’t blonde and white. He refused to hire several of them till i reminded him we pay $9 an hour and we have to take ANYONE who is willing to work for such a poor wage.

    I’ll never forget the last hire he did before i quit. He had this like 18 year old girl come in for an interview since she shopped in the store with her parents a couple days before. He hired her ON THE SPOT without consulting me and i wasn’t happy. The VERY next day, her parents send us an email saying she had a complete mental breakdown and is in the psych hospital being treated.
