<p>It seems that even cashiers are required to have experience, which is utter BS at best and premeditated discrimination at worst.</p>
<p>God, I'm tempted to bribe someone into claiming that s/he knows me and so guarantee me a position...</p>
<p>...time to share your frustrations and advice here.</p>
<p>^Do you have ANY work experience at all?</p>
<p>I mean, at those entry level jobs, you don't need any experience at all, except maybe a previous job that you held for a few months to show that you could at least be responsible.</p>
<p>Find friends who work somewhere. It's all about the connections.</p>
<p>I was able to get a job at Wal-Mart a couple years ago without any prior work experience. You could also try out places like Hastings/Blockbuster.</p>
