My fiancé applied to a coffee shop a month ago. Beginning pay is $14, which is exciting for our area.
She was selected for an interview! Happy day.
The interview was in a town an hour away, group style. A little far, but she needed a job, so we did it.
We arrive and she spends the next two hours in the back doing different tasks.
Later on, we get an email saying she passed. Awesome! Now she has to study three pages of acronyms and pass a test.
She studies for three days very seriously, takes the test and passes with flying colors. Congrats, another interview unlocked:
Goes to final interview, is asked very personal questions, is told they start at NINE dollars an hour (quite different than what is advertised all over the store). And what else? She’s emailed afterward that she isn’t hired.
Three interviews. Two hours + worth of gas during a fuel price hike. Ridiculous unpaid training at home. No job.
This whole system is a fucking joke. And if you’re curious of what shop it is, you can just guess. I can’t say for legal reasons I’m sure.
Infuriating.
