Few years ago, I applied an application for 7-11 Store..because it has good pay/benefits, etc...

I found out that the 7-11 Store Managers refused to hired us deafies there because of *PHONE* requirements! :roll:

I don't think it is fair for us not to be able to work at gas station or places that requires for to use phone!

Have any deafies here applied or worked for 7-11 Store before?
 
Well, have you noticed that most 7-11 stores have Indian people working there? I rarely see black, white and other races work at 7-11 stores. I don't know why they're attracted to India people. I haven't heard of deaf people working at 7-11 stores before. I'm sorry to hear that they won't hire you because of that stupid rule. My gf sweetheart worked as a waiteress in a hotel restaurant, she had no problem communicating with customers. They understood her with body language and signing gestures. Deaf people can do it!

intertsting to me :) here have 7-11 that mostly I see white ppl who work in 7-11 to me not most from indian or else just few black person or white person who work in 7-11. :)
 
7-11 stores want to hire Indian people from India because they're "honest and more reliable" than other peers. They think because Indian people do not steal and miscalculate. What they do is pretty wrong. They violated the Equal Employment Opportunity. They can't discriminate other ppl based on race, ethnicity, disability, marital status, etc...

I used to apply at 7-11 store.. My application was rejected. It was perfectly clear and neat. My uncle helped file a discrimination lawsuit, not because I'm hearing-impaired but because of my race (Native American/White). They had a "Help Wanted" sign on the window. Jeez. They're Indian people. In court, 7-11 was quick to response and wants to hire me..nah..too late. Got a temporary job at the bowling center. Phhhft! That teach them a lesson...they paid the court fee, lawyer fees...too bad. I don't have to.

My HOH friend was worry about applying for a job at 7-11 store in nearby city. I helped him get a job there...of course, they're whites and my friend's black. He was happy he was hired by them. They don't care about who, they need a helping hand with the job: too many customers going in and out fast. Now working for 3 years, he wants to get another job. <sigh> He got tired with the same cash register and same stocking the items up. Salary is good and so the benefits. He's simply bored with a current job. They didn't want him to leave but it's up to him. He said it's fun working with them but he needs a "change of fresh air."

If your application was rejected..take it to the employer...if an employer won't, then take it to the higher place...you have the right to file a discrimination lawsuit. And the phone is NOT a requirement on behalf of deaf citizens. Sounds like a discrimination to me. If there are two workers in a store: one is deaf and one is not. Then a hearing one needs to pick up the phone.
 
That's sounds like violate ADA laws but it already strict enfore at all public school but why not about workplace. :hyper:

That's what I've seen mostly in the West US. I guess it's different in the East US.

California is more likely to become a weak state.. it doesn't matter whether it's ADA or EEO. It's difficult to win a lawsuit in the courts than in the past of 1989 or early. Sadly. They hire more illegal immigrants than US citizens here in California than any other state. That's why I don't support illegal immigrants because employers decide to hire them and not us. Make me think I wanna move out into another state once I get a nice, fat B.S. degree. I get tired of this California's weakened spot. But I don't know if I wanna move out or not.

7-11 stores are the most dangerous places in America to work in.

I never approach or work in a 7-11 store. No sense in getting shot.

Not in LA, 7-11 is safe in LA that where most workers are Indians and Mexicans.

I have seen on the 11 o clock nightly news of Mexicans robbing the 7-11 store in L.A. and many Mexicans go there to lift a couple cold pack of beer and fight with the store clerk most of the time.

I saw that when I was relaxing in my motel room in L.A. They had the snapshot of a picture of who the robber was and the suspect, I remember he was 5'6 and 140 lb. he had on no shirt, the t-shirt was in his back pocket, no tattoo , real young kid with sunglasses on backwards he looked like he worked out alots and was holding the store at gun point while his buddies did their shopping , lifting cold beer, food, orange zig zag rolling paper and a couple another things, I can't remember I think frozen food and they had taken the money out of the cash register and left. Nobody got hurt but the LAPD was all over town on that one all night long looking for him and his buddies.

What made it unusual was that the fact that they were holding up the 7-11 store because they usually don't do that. They just lift some cold six pack of beer then some food and just take off , man .... the store clerk sometimes fight with them and the Mexicans are known to carry a knife which makes them very dangerous since the store clerk is usually unarmed and does not know how to fight because military service is manadatory in Mexico, everybody has to go into the Mexican Army after they finish high school. They usually are illegals that escape from the Tijuana US/Mexico border.

Yea, not only for LA, just happened in most cities but Honolulu and Anchorage because both of cities don't have illegal immigrants, or few. I just avoid to work at gas station because people are just asshole with high gas prices. Our most factors are illegal immigrants but we don't support most of them but LAPD stated that around 40% of crimes are illegal immigrants, Bush don't care about USA that where alot of illegal imigrants that who filled in Southwest states including Texas but start spread to southeast states, but some states have strict laws based on job. Illegal immigrants cannot attend high school because it's have alot of information, approve for green card is required, or become felony then deport to their countries.

I'm sure that 7-11 companies are already stopped to hiring latino workers, including illegal immigrants and some stores did install new alarm that can connect to LAPD, when crime is occured. Bush is doing lousy job, not care about us to losing our job after bosses hire many illegal immigrants because they are avoid to pay taxes but ADA in California isn't perfect and not successful because some of illegal immigrants aren't friendly with deaf people, they did against on them at many time but our state are continue to works on new laws about immigrants are required to approve or can cost fine at job companies but we are wait for new president if can control them so much better than worried about Iraq. Bush is just worried about Iraq and not focus on illegal immigrants but many people are protest and marches around cities to against new bills about illegal immigrants are gonna into felony and strict control at all job companies, also build new walls in US-Mexico Border.

I don't care about them, or not support them anymore but we need jobs and bosses ignored request that what U.S. citizen applied it then they are give up and moving to Northern California that work labor is much better, or moving to other states. When back in 70's, USA has more black population than latino population, then now latino population are outnumber black population since growth rate are slow than in 80's. Mexicans are pretty weak and not wanna relocate to USA in until 70's because US and Mexico has been war in around 19th Century but we can't stop them to moving in USA. Legal immigrants are fine but illegal immigrants are no way.

If you want live in cities, or states that few or almost none of illegal immigrants then relocate to Honolulu or Anchorage but Florida is alright since not many of them are relocate to Florida because it's too far away from Mexico and job laws in Florida is strict too. I don't want live in Florida but other both of cities that I mentioned are fine for me but Anchorage is too far away from USA, also in Honolulu is just isolated island, just better than illegal immigrants that who take the jobs.
 
We have a 7-11 at the end of our street, and whenever I've gone there with Tara (our older dog) this Indian guy was so adament about no dogs allowed, that he refused to let me step foot in the door with Tara, no matter how friendly she was, and she was a beagle - I mean how much harm can a social friendly beagle do??

I went there twice with Tara and the same Indians guys refused to let me enter the store with Tara and there really wasn't anywhere to tie her up to go in for a few seconds.

TrippLA, don't take it the wrong way. 7-11 stores are not always safe in LA. Usually, they do not publish in the News or newspapers. Only a few appear on TV news. I have been driving around in Central Avenue, Firestone Blvd, Figeroa Avenue, Crenshaw, etc...the stores I see ended up in robbery menu list of yum-yum. Even in Long Beach city on Long Beach Blvd, a store isn't safe. 7-11 stores are a dangerous job for people to take a risk. Some survive, some don't.

People get hold-up outside of the stores? Why because they either carry cold beers when coming out of the stores or they have cash in their pockets b4 entering the stores. Not funny. Not safe either..even after midnight. 7-11 stores are open 24 hours. To make 7-11 stores safe, a few cops can be seen there sitting quietly and watching every person's move. But they don't stay for hours to end of the shift.

Day time is okay to go to 7-11, still it has a minimum risk of being robbed inside or outside. I heard about a broad daylight robbery. :eek: Jeez. It can happen here and there. No matter which small liquor store, it always come to minimum risk to high risk of being in dangers. We all go to the store no matter what. We do not stay away from the 7-11, K-circle, old Stop-N-Go stores, etc. We go to get something to drink, eat, smoke, diapers, etc..

I still go to the store near my home, that store still has a high criminal activity: robbery with/without guns. Not to worry. ;)

Hi Dannie, Don't agrue with him, Shop somewhere else that is very safe. I think the mintune the Indian man sees you with no dog then he will turn off the security camera then come and try to make his move on you and there will be no dog barking to warn people outside of what is happening because you are Deaf yourself and he will take advantage of that. :nono:

I don't trust him, just my 2 cents. Shop somewhere else that is very safe and allows dogs in the building. God Bless ..... :) :thumb:

I did bought something at 7-11 but not bad at all time, robbery are just dissing at clerks, not for consumers. Yea, 7-11 in our area have problem with robbery in other days. I was surprised when some Korean workers are shot with gun at people until when people bought food with money because it's located in Crenshaw but I'm deaf and can't understand what they said then I give up to order and workers are rant at me. That's stupid, I just avoid at gas station in Crenshaw because they are too scare about black people that who rob at store.
 
Back on topic, Whitewolf1970 is right, it is discrimination. Requiring phone skills for a job like that is pretty stupid.
