Does you store hire anyone if they don't have open availability when applying?

It varies depending on the manager and the store.
Case in point, when I was hired, it was with an 8-4 availability (I changed it several times since then before I left).

I meant more recent TMs.
I recently have had fellow TMs that encourage people to apply but were rejected because they didn't have open availability.

Yes BUT I won’t generally hire someone with limitations that also wants 40 hours.

Our store is so understaffed that open availability is the least of our concerns.
Our minimum requirement is "some" availability on the weekends. Beyond that just depends on the workcenter and where the biggest needs are hours-wise. Most areas need more openers and mid-shifts. It's pretty easy to find closers right now since the majority of our new hires are either in high school or college.

Interesting. I am a team leader have no say who gets hired for my area nor am I asked for my input on my teams schedule in fact schedule day is my one permanent set day off. 🤣 must be why morale and NPS are HORRIFIC!
Considering I have worked 40+ hours per week for several months unloading trucks, putting out freight, etc.,, I don't understand why it's an issue to at least have Sunday mornings off to attend church. Especially when you see employees who call out repetitively, leave for good after a short period of time, etc when I in contrast never call out, am always on time, and give over and beyond while at work. Is it too much to ask to be off on a Sunday morning?

My store does this! It’s horrible as soon as they look over your availability and realize you need certain days and times off even if it’s like one day a week, they turn you down right away

Our scheduler is limited English speaking. Fills hours with dual language tm s. If you're in the language minority you get what you get. She s also conducted training in Spanish; only. Hoping corporate might eventually suggest her boot to avoid a law suit.
Oh and our demographic guest pop is about as non spanish speaking as you can get.
I was able to come to agreement with my etl, that while i loved that they would give me weekends off , if i could have 1 day off during the week with regularity i could plan on I'd be happy. So they gave me either saturday or sunday of and Wednesdays.
So its possible.
That's very scary. Might be a ethics call. "Couldn't understand training" seems to be a big issue when they can't fire you cause you didn't understand the training.
Well done. No weekends off here and 1 week day off. Work 6 days a week.
Just ask HR when you'll be scheduled for your training. Tell them you only speak English and no accommodations were made for you at the training session that you attended.
