So a guy comes in and asks for a job.
I hand him an application.
He fills it out.
1 week later, I call him up on Friday.
I ask him "Are you still interested in the job that you applied for?"
He says yes.
I ask him "Are you available on Tuesday?"
He says yes.
I ask him "Are you available from 12-2?"
He says yes.
I say "Great, I'll see you on Tuesday at 12-2!"
He says "AWESOME"
I say "Do you want me to call you a day before and remind you?"
He says "No, I'll remember."
I say "Are you SURE?"
He says "Oh yes, positive."
I say "Alright.... see you at 12pm on Tuesday!
He says "Sure thing! Bye"


It's 12:38.

No show.

It's a job at a pizza joint, i wouldn't expect the most hard-working individuals to be applying.

Did you post this because HOOPS MALONE agreed to your proposition? That if people quit picking on you for being a pizza boy, you'd stop posting?

11/27/2012 12:45:49 PM

assistant pizza boy

his pops runs the show

he doesn't care how big you are

American work ethic:

Never blame the employee, it's always the employer's fault.

11/27/2012 12:48:49 PM

No, it's definitely the employee's fault.

But given the type of work that you're looking to hire for, set your expectations accordingly as to what type of people you'll get.

11/27/2012 12:54:07 PM

no need to rag on geniusboy itt

i don't care what business you're in, what happened is inexcusable on the employee's part

at suggesting anything otherwise

particularly bullet, pretty funny thing for a liberal to say

It's okay, Mistergreen. They're Americans.

11/27/2012 1:07:39 PM

sampling bias

11/27/2012 1:19:35 PM

why are we calling him the employee?

if he's a no-show on his first day he's hardly employed

11/27/2012 1:20:31 PM

^^^^nobody said it was excusable, nobody said otherwise, what are you talking about?

and i'm not a liberal ( at suggesting otherwise) but what does that have to do with anything? Of course irresponsible people are applying for jobs at pizza joints. If they were more responsible and hard-working, I'd hope they'd be able to get a job somewhere more respectable.

11/27/2012 1:21:47 PM

He'll show up on December 2nd.

11/27/2012 1:22:15 PM

Geniesexboy got trolled.

11/27/2012 1:23:21 PM

Is there a reason why it's only a 2 hour shift?

11/27/2012 1:23:52 PM

I thought trolling was when you get someone steamin' mad


your statement sounds a little apocryphal

Yes. I pay them $10/h to put my menus on people's doors....if they show up.

11/27/2012 1:26:14 PM

Do you check their work?

11/27/2012 1:28:02 PM

No. I walk with them to make sure they do it.

11/27/2012 1:29:31 PM

shit I wouldn't show up for $20

11/27/2012 1:31:11 PM

That's not what you said the other day when I offered you $5 to give me a blowjob.

11/27/2012 1:32:09 PM

$20? not worth 2 hours.

11/27/2012 1:32:15 PM

Hire a Mexican.

11/27/2012 1:33:23 PM

There is a shortage of mexicans. They are taken by the roofers and the landscapers and the chinese buffets

11/27/2012 1:35:04 PM

Probably because they offer more than 2 hour shifts

11/27/2012 1:37:58 PM

Then hire a Chinese.

11/27/2012 1:38:23 PM

i wouldn't leave my house for $20

11/27/2012 1:44:13 PM

then clearly you're not broke enough to deliver fliers for a pizza joint

don't think you gainfully employed schmucks are the target market

If Americans could walk for 2 hours without getting tired, I'd give them an 8 hour shift.

Most Americans don't walk.

The average walking mile is ~14 minutes.

By the time two hours is done, they will have walked 8 miles.

8 hours would yield 32 miles.

To put this in perspective, the width of virginia beach from norfolk to the oceanfront is 18.4 miles.

11/27/2012 1:46:38 PM

How many fliers/hour is that?

11/27/2012 1:49:24 PM

^Townhouses, Ghetto houses, or Rich Houses?
