Interview
Keep in mind, THEY called ME to schedule an interview. The hiring manager who interviewed me acted like I was bothering her for coming in at my scheduled time. While we were interviewing it was like she couldn't even pretend to be interested at all. Like she was just going through the motions to get me out of there. Facial expressions were not pleasant either. I honestly should've walked out, but I wanted to be polite and professional. At the end she couldn't even be bothered to tell me whether or not they'd be in contact or when to expect them to accept or reject me. I was told that's it, have a good day, and I was walked out. I figured I wouldn't be hired just based on her nasty attitude, but I never even received at least a rejection afterwards. Figures that's what happens when visible posers work at alt stores.
