To complete an application I have to go into the workplace and fist bump someone from management

I’m not kidding. I’m a recent college grad who’s just desperate for any sort of job, so I applied for an assistant marketing job at a gym. After submitting my application on indeed I received an email saying that I needed to come into the gym, find someone in management, and give them a fist bump. Only after that will they even look at my application. Now I completely understand requiring a candidate to come in for an interview or introduction, but before my application has even been seen by anyone? Just odd and annoying. It’s not cruel, but a bizarre obstacle. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
