    Is This an Acceptable Job Interview Question?

    I owe you an apology it seems. It is late in the day and my coffee is no longer effective. If having exclusive access to a vehicle is an integral requirement of the job in question, by all means it is an acceptable question. I was remarking based upon the original poster's situation and never...

    Is This an Acceptable Job Interview Question?

    And to expand upon what should have been my reply, primary or exclusive access to a vehicle is also not an allowed question. This would exclude all those who rely upon public transportation. Not saying that an employer can't find some "other" reason to not hire the individual, just that the...

    Is This an Acceptable Job Interview Question?

    The poster stated that the interviwer's question was " Next she was asked if she had her own car " The interviewer in no way couched her question with any regard to "exclusivity", "had her own car" would be construed in court as asking about ownership.

    An employer that asks about a potential employee's ownership of a car is in violation of Federal EEOC guidelines regarding discrimination. An employer is only allowed to ask whether the prospective employee has a reliable means of getting to and from work. The question of car ownership has...

    sears appliance replacement

    OK. First off, you will need to purchase the replacement from Sears. Pretty easy to understand why they will not give you money to spend with a competitor. Secondly, the amount you will receive will be a pro-rated amount based upon the years and use you have received from the original...

    Restocking fee??

    I have good news for you. There should NOT be a restocking charge in this instance. And I speak from a position of knowledge on this one. I am a Store manager for Sears, and this item absolutely should not qualify for restocking if you never took it out of the store. If the Sales Associate...

    Front Load Washing Machine Budget Question?

    I would lean towards the LG machines. The reliability is a bit better than the Samsung. On the other hand, the Samsung is the highest rated in the industry for allergen relief. This is because of its superior sanitizing system,so if anyone in your house has allergies or has extremely sensitive...

    Front Load Washing Machine Budget Question?

    :laundy:If you use the steam cycle, it will definitely reduce the wrinkles. Of course that still requires you removing the load as soon as it finishes.

    Any one Have a Kenmore HE Front Loader?

    I am a Store Manager of a Sears Appliance store. The need to leave the door ajar between loads is not limited to Kenmore FL washers, but rather a way to get around an inherent overall design weakness of ALL FL washers regardless of manufacturer. The rubber sealing boot that keeps the water...

    Yankee Candle Sale

    I was waiting to receive the confirmation e-mail before closing out the page. When it seemed to be taking too long I went back and looked at the page. It was then that it occured to me that this site (unlike the rest of the world) had never asked for my e-mail address. I had to make the effort...

    Just A Little Warning About Target & Price Mistakes

    As the manager of a store (not Target), let me give my two cents worth. Any given Customer Service Clerk is most likely to do whatever they feel is the least hassle (for themselves) at any given time, unless a store enforces a strict policy covering the transaction. This explains the varied...

    I Need Help Troubleshooting & Fixing My Laptop!

    I had the exact same problem with my Dell laptop a few months back. Luckily for me, I purchased an extended warranty that covered the problem. They sent a technician to my home, where he replaced the motherboard. This is what the AC adapter is plugging into in the back of your computer. I have...

    Market Day - school fundraiser

    I can offer a slightly "prejudiced" viewpoint on Market Day products. I manage a Sara Lee store in the Chicago area, and we are partners with Market Day. I carry a wide assortment of their products in my store. All of them are absolutely of the highest quality. I say this not only as a...
