That's so ridiculous, and it makes me really angry. I hate that companies are doing this, nowadays. And I know that quite a lot of them do (run a credit check.) I can maybe see this being valid if you're going for a position that requires a lot of trust and honesty.
And one might think, at first glance, that a casino job would apply. Especially handling cash. But while that may be a serious responsibility, it doesn't seem like a trust issue to me-- especially considering those places are so heavily monitored for video and sound I don't see how it could even be possible to steal from them.
And if you're in debt, what the fuck else are you supposed to do, but apply for a job? Such a stupid catch-22. Hey, this person's in debt, so let's prevent them from getting anything better paying than a mcdonald's job, so that they can remain in debt and never get anything better-paying than a macdonald's job.  
No wonder so many people turn to drugs and crime. The system is practically designed for it.
I really, really fucking hate the system sometimes.

My understanding (and it may very well be wrong) is that debt will only exclude you from a job that deals with finances, or where your debt or inability to manage your finances could translate to poor job performance.

Not really. Many corporations look at your credit score as an indicator of your character.
If you don't pay your bills they either think of you as untrustworthy and a thief (which essentially you are in that case) or they think you're too stupid to manage your money wisely.
Either way you're basically screwed if you're looking for anything better than a minimum wage job.
My credit is total shit, and I'm sure I've been denied jobs based on that. However, I don't believe in paying corporations trying to screw me, so that's unlikely to change.

This is a war on consciousness, on our right to the very essence of what we are. With no control over that, we have no need to speak of freedom or a free society. -fireseed "If we are going to have a war on marijuana, the least we can do is pull the sick and the dying off the battlefield." -Neal Levine (MPP) I find the whole "my drug should be legal but yours should be illegal" mindset disgusting and hypocritical.
