You cannot just walk into those stores and ask for a manager. They will tell you to go online and apply. also how the hell are you going to afford a car if they only paying you 12 / hour?
I am sure a lot of people apply for jobs that way and they will get rejected. I was watching a documentary one time about Brits who were blaming foreigners for getting the jobs. It turned out the Brits were doing what you did, but the Europeans were going in, asking, being personable, and basically showing that they really wanted that job. You cannot see that from an online resume. You see it face to face with a manager. I cannot speak for Burger King etc, but for ordinary restaurants etc, of course you can do that. The foreigners really were taking the jobs, but it was a difference in approach.

As for the car, I have two of them, I will just buy another.
