    Nothing you can do. Even if the person interviewing you said it should be okay, if your background revealed things that were not acceptable to McDonald's you don't get the job. From the other posts you have made, they were within their rights to not hire you since you stole from a previous employer.

    Obviously you either did not fully explain things to the store's owner, whom you claim personally hired you or he then found out something in your background check he did not like. Most job offers are contingent on background and/or drug screening, and he chose to move you to a non-cash position. He apparently decided to have a manager, presumably the overall store manager, break the news to you. You are learning, unfortunately, that your actions have far reaching consequences.

    Okay, your posts are slowly devolving into unintelligible messes. My point is that you have no recourse. Take whatever job you can get cause with your history, jobs aren't going to be easy to get. Once you've been there awhile, maybe they'll re-evaluate your position. You have to show them you can be trusted before they are going to give you the keys to the kingdom.

    free9man has it right. Nobody is obliged to inform you of the impact of a criminal record when you're taking plea bargains or otherwise making legal decisions.
    Virginia is not going to expunge, reduce, or anyway change your circumstances.

    Your recourse is to take the job that you are offered and hope that at some point they will trust you enough to move you into another position. Or, alternately, to look for other work elsewhere. If you are looking for a law that will force the employer to give you the job he initially hired you for, you are doomed to disappointment since no such law exists. It doesn't matter who promised you what or who didn't tell you something else; no one owes you any particular job and you get the one they are willing to give you.

    The employer did nothing illegal unless you have a binding employment contract (which I'm sure you
    don't) guaranteeing a specific job.

    You can take the job & while working it "try" to find another higher paying job elsewhere.
