So I am a full time school bus driver. I had a friend who was in a wedding this past weekend. The driver of the party bus was asking people if they knew anyone with a valid CDL who would want some extra work.
Knowing I had my CDL my friend took a card and forwarded it to me.
I called yesterday to offer some weekend help, was told “great can you come tomorrow after your bus run we can talk?” I told him that was no problem. Once I was done with my run and cleaning my bus I would head down.
Sure absolutely I like extra money. I do my run, get to the interview 10 minutes early…. He isn’t there. Ends up 10 minutes late.
I get out of the car, to a man who is in blue jeans, sneakers and a t shirt…. The same outfit I am in.
I shake his hand and he says “I’m not going to waste my time or yours. You didn’t show up in a suit. So I’m not even doing the interview. We are driving $100,000 limos and you thought that was appropriate clothing to wear to the interview?”
I said “You run a business that drives $100,000 limos and you think it’s appropriate to show up late? In the same outfit I am in. No wonder you have no employees. Thanks for the offer but I’m no longer interested.”
Some people lol. Had he asked me to wear a suit I would have. But he knew I was coming from my full time job in between runs. Never mentioned it.
