Vampyrox, it is possible to manage more than one store at one time, as I have told you about this guy who was my store manager.

I interviewed this guy, who's the store manager of McDonalds, in Rochester and he told me that he is currently managing 6 different McDonalds at that time. He said it's very hard but once you get the hang of it, it's kinda easy.

Yes, it is possible. However, it depends on the business. For Blockbuster, you are expected to work at one store for at least 50 hours. That would be only one store. However, the district manager does mange over 10 stores in the district. Perhaps, your friend has a different label as mine does.

Malfy, I feel for ya.

My sister works in Hollywood Videos Headquarters (btw, they are located here) for many years. Many of my deaf friends asked me to ask her if she could help speak up for them getting jobs at local Hollywood Videos stores. Shes been helpful in advocating for getting jobs for people w/disabilities.

Sometimes having connections help. Shitty system, indeed.

oh man, they werent educated about deaf and they still treat deaf unfairly. I wouldnt go to that place again if they treat me like a shitznit...I would just call the blockbuster headquarter and explain the situation. You seem fine and have no problem gettin a job there. i dont understand them. I used to work at Video Wiz for a year as sales person/manager asst. I have NO PROBLEM with thoses. DEAF can work at any video stores.

Thanks, Meggers.

I think it's wonderful what your sister is doing. I have NO idea why I wasn't hired. Perhaps it's because I'm incapable of using the telephone or walkie-talkies for in-store communications. However, I AM perfectly capable of doing any and everything else. It was an insult and a slap in the face to be told that I didn't meet requirements. They had a sixteen-year-old behind the counter whose biggest problem at the moment was her nails.

Anyway. I never went there again. I did open up membership at Hollywood Video and we use them for renting videos.

They treat their customers better, too. AND they're cheaper.

You're right - one who is deaf should be able to work just about any job with the exception of the ones that are telephone oriented, i.e. telemarketing or receptionist or secretary.

No biggie, though. I now have TWO jobs that I do very well at. I'm not complaining and my employers have no complaints about me, either.

I beg to differ. You have a LOT to say about Mitzi. I think I remember something about gallbladder stones and hopin' the bitch is suffering?

C'mon, Malfoyish. You know as well as I do, you're not the Angel everyone thinks you are!
