Sharing this experience that happened to my wife, because it’s insane to me. My wife is looking to go do some part time serving work to kinda stay busy again (SAHM w/ 3 kids) so anyway she’s been applying for a few serving jobs, since she’s been serving off and on since HS.
She applied for this little diner, just a small business owner nothing big. During her interview today, the owner had some very weird requests. Here is the owners list of demands….
-
She wants someone that can commit to 5-10 years (looking for career server)
-
cannot be taking college classes or anything else on the side (need to be fully committed to the restaurant)
-
has to complete a “shadow interview” where my wife works a shift that the owner observes during (paid but not put on a payroll and i guarantee she doesn’t keep the tips)
-
once hired, 90 days of probation before being considering full time and officially hired there
That is just so wild to me. The owner also suggested that she comes home and discusses with me, to ensure I’m onboard with her fully committing to this restaurant… so many red flags.
Guess how long she’s been looking to hire someone? Since December! Not surprised at all!
Thank you hearing out my rant!
