I have been homeless for 3 years now and living a allley in Poenix. I recently applied for a job as a cashier at Circl K on 32nd st. & Bell Rd on October 10,2007. The manager (Donna) and the district manager (Greg) both interviewed me and told me I was hired as long as I passed the background check. I was told they go back seven years and as long as there were no felonies,drug or theft convictions I should be ok. I told them I had a D.U.I five years ago. Since October 11th I have checked back with Donna every day on regards of when I can start and if the background check came through.Well finally today (November 1,2007) she informed me that I was not to be hired,but did not know why.I told her I didn't understand,I had previous experience as a cashier,she gave the ok to hire me and so did Greg. Donna simply said that the corp. said no go after receiving the background check results. Now since I have no criminal or felony record what is the problem. I do believe that she found out I was homeless and is just saying the corporation said not to hire me. Donna couldn't or wouldn't give me an explanation on reasons why,the reason being privacy act. I told her thank you for your time,but tell your corporate thank you for wasting my time. My question is this a case of discrimination or is it not?
