Circular foreign key dependency in Sakila?

Hi!

I'm trying to create a new store with a new manager in Sakila, but I've run into a circular problem.

To create a new staff member I need to assign it to a store that I haven't created yet.

Is this supposed to be possible to do without setting foreign_key_checks to 0 or alter the tables to allow null?
No big deal, I can work around it ofcourse, but is there a correct way?
