Today I attempted to put in an aplication at the thrift store on reading rd ,after filling out the aplication I was able to talk to a manager and was told that i would be unable to be considered because of an 5 year old felony conviction. Now this is not a new thing to me but it is very dishearting when it is at a place that claims to be a sevice to the community and they wont even consider qualified people for position. Even more disturbing was that fact that I had to speak with 6 different people to even get the application because of all the only spanish speaking people working in the back ,now i have paid my debts to society an still not able to take care of my familly due to places like this. If a place like such that has used and donated things will not help the community in witch in does business then it should be shut down for hiring illegals just as many other businesses are. I have volenteered my time at many places and donated clothes and furinture but Valley Thrift will never be on that list of places I will help or suport.
