I suspect after paying for gasoline, you're probably losing money or your actual wages are close to a dollar an hour!

It's the same stigma that transportation cyclists get everywhere they go. The manager probably thinks you are poor, unreliable and strange for not having a car. He sees you as a person out of the ordinary, irresponsible and not to be trusted for you will steal his papers and walk off with the money. The driver's license means he can track you down and a car means you are somewhat responsible and living indoors. He see homeless men riding cheap department store bikes and puts you in the same category. A derelict.
