Unlike the other poster I believe you because having a car can be a requirement for many jobs. It isn't a word of mouth myth it is true. The local school district makes the same requirement for a custodian, maintenance worker and even a warehouse worker have to have access to a car. When some have asked why the answer was simple, the employee might be required to report to another site to fill in for vacations or emergencies. If the employee says they aren't prepared to do that then the answer is also just as simple. There are others left to interview. It was a posted job requirement. So no it isn't a myth it is a fact. And a bus cannot cover for that requirement.
