    Got turned down for employment at Sears before I started trucking because I could not speak Spanish. The manager I talked with explained that 1/3 of the folks walking through the door did not speak English, and another 1/3 where non native speakers.... Why should he hire me if I would not be able to communicate with 2/3 of the people coming through the door.

    That would've been fun to get recorded and then have a lawyer play it for Sears Corporate lol.

    Think about it though, that guy probably did you a favor. Instead of having a good job running truck, you'd have been stuck in a Sears store all day long talking to idiots about crap ### retail products *shudders* bleh, sounds like torture to me.
