Am I missing something in this conversation?

I am not kidding, this happened all the time when I applied for retail and restaurant jobs in undergrad. It has happened once or twice when I applied for "big kid" jobs.
I've been asked so many off the wall questions during interviews, so that one just kind of slipped below the radar. I had a car, so it didn't bother me that much. I didn't think anything about it until I got older.
Way to keep the rich richer and the poor poorer...and being very blunt about it all.
That question is just so wrong in other ways too...
