New job is paying scraps

I’m 16 years old and am planning to move out as soon as I turn 18, so I need a job desperately. I went around to 6 different locations, and all but one told me to apply online. The 6th, a pet store, gave me an application but pretty much told me they weren’t going to hire me. I went home and applied to all 5 locations.

Bloomingdales expects me to send a video of myself answering questions instead of just giving me a goddamn job interview. They expect me to do all this, and might not even respond. I’m sure it saves employers time, but it makes ME want to tear my hair out!
