Proceeded to the website for the business… some highlights from their hiring page:
“SOME “NO NO’S” WHEN APPLYING:
We do not hire through parents! When a parent emails or comes to the shop to ask us if we’re hiring, because their son or daughter “needs” a job,
we consider that “strike one”. If a young adult really wants to work, we figure they’d be applying themselves, right?
If you participate in a sport or other activity that requires all of your weekday afternoons, it’s almost impossible for us
to hire you and be reasonably confident that you’ll have a great experience here. Weekend shifts are just too busy for us
to train new employees and you’ll be overwhelmed by the lines of demanding guests.
Don’t tell us you want to work here because “it looks like a fun/easy job”, or because “you like to eat ice cream”. While we hope
it’s fun, and we encourage our cast to help themselves to an occasional treat, those are side benefits, not qualifications.
And it’s definitely not “easy”! We want cast members who want to work as part of a team, do their fair share of the work,
and help us make our business the best we can make it.”
But they still can’t figure out why no One wants to work…
