Yeh, it sucks. I mean they could bend some rules, but it requires too much work and it is a lot of hassle. Especially if you're turning 18 in a few months.
My manager is trying to make me an ASM, but there are no stores around me that require one, so I'm on the waiting list

. It sucks because since I don't have a car, my options are reduced to about 5 stores.
