Dear Bar & Grill owner, please learn to respect people’s time

After sending out some resumes around the city I recieved a call from the owner of a bar and grill regarding a bartender/server position. After speaking briefly, he invited me to come down to the bar for a short interview that same evening. I arrived on time. After a brief wait the owner sat down with me for the interview. He was almost immediately called away and asked me if I could wait ten to fifteen more minutes We agreed that he would text me when he was ready and I would wait in my car (and do some school work). I have no problem with any of this, restaurants get busy (although they only seemed to be about half full). But over an hour later, I'm still sitting in the parking lot, and I just feel so stupid.

I drove 25 minutes for this interview on his invitation, and spent over an hour waiting for nothing. Not even a text asking to reschedule (he texted me the address before the appointment so he did have the correct contact info). Just a blatant disregard for my time, and I feel quite low about the whole situation. You called me. You asked me to come down. I held up my end, why couldn't you? The drive down, the wait, the drive back, I offered over 2 hours of my time just so YOU could decide if I was a good fit for your establishment. And you couldn't be bothered. Just isn't fair
