I have a teenage nephew who is trying to get a job. He found an opening for a fast food restaurant in our town and decided to apply for it. He didn't hear back so he sent them an email, they told him to come in on a specific date between 12 and 3pm for an interview.
My nephew arrived for this interview at around 11:50am, he then proceeded to wait about 45 minutes until a manager came out and told him that they were too busy and to come back tomorrow at 10:00am. My nephew was annoyed but agreed to come back the next day.
The next day on his way to his interview there was something blocking the road that caused DOT to come out and clear it, this made my nephew 7 minutes late for this interview. When he arrived the manager told him that because he was late he wouldn't be allowed an interview and to “be on time next time”.
I'm more than a little annoyed at this whole situation, my nephew was proactive in trying to get a job here, was early to his 1st interview and even came back a 2nd time after having his time wasted. He was 7 minutes late from things that were out of his control and now a fast food place won't interview him?
Make it make sense.
