Maybe people shouldn't snap photos of other people and post the pictures online without their permission.
But the photo and story are heartwarming. It's nice to read good news once in a while.
Maybe this is the difference between women and men: I would have shown the kid how to tie a tie, but expected him do it himself.
I would also never hire anyone wearing a clip on tie.
See how whites instinctively try to lynch black youths?
Hands.freaking.down.
I tell people I don’t shop at Target because of the 2Gs:
Gays & Guns.
This changes nothing.
Though I do wonder if he would have done the same for a white teen...
Yeah. Then they probably started asking him to get stuff off the top shelf.
When did every day common courtesy become so unusual that it is buzzed over?
"We're sorry, that position has been filled by Miguel Diaz from "Meh-hee-ko".
Great story...thank you.
Good for the kid wanting a job, and dressing properly for the interview.
Good for the Target employees for going above and beyond in helping him.
Small things like this can change a kid’s life. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if there wasn’t a follow-up article 15 years down the road...about the kid owning/running his own franchise.
Got my first job at 16 because I wore dress pants, had a tucked in collared shirt and had hair above my ears (this was 1977). The department store manager walked by me as I was filling out my application and said, “You are hired, can you start now?”. The thing about this was that I had just left school and was in compliance with my school dress code.
After that I dressed properly and learned to speak standard English. I am not black but I dressed and talked like the hick I was (and still am).
That was an interesting atmosphere. Boss only wore clip-on ties when dealing with clients. Otherwise it was a tie-free environment.
I finally decided I wanted to look more professional, so I started wearing ties. Boss looked at me, and said 'You preaching somewhere?'
I worked there all through high school, kinda cool being 16, wearing a suit and driving a Lincoln Town Car.
I wouldn’t shop at Target to save my life.
I find some of the comments to be inappropriate. Why can’t we just accept this for what it is...a human interest story that we hope ends well for the young man.
The Golden Rule in action - it ain’t that hard, is it?
Very sweet.
