Even then it was very hard to find anyone that spoke English. Almost lost my mind when trying to get directions to the hotel for the first time, and had already went the wrong way from Santa Clara all the way down nearly to Gilroy before I realized it and turned back around.
When I worked for Firestone..... They offered me a store in Sunnyvale to manage. The problem was...is that they paid the same as managing a store in Antioch....Modesto...etc... Needless to say... I turned down the offer....and about 3 months later I went into business for myself.
