How not to apply for a job:
1. Demand an application from the cashier who is currently on the phone taking a phone ahead order.
2. Steal the pen you borrowed to fill out the application. Bonus points if it's the last one.
3. Don't push in your stool, rather leave it five feet from the table in the aisle so it's in everyone's way.
4. Order wings before your interview, demand the cashier to "make sure my wings are big." Upon getting wings, open box to personally inspect.
5. After bothering very busy cashier to get you an application, take it and leave without saying thank you.
6. Stand outside the kitchen, yell at the employee who is in the middle of traying up three orders that you need an application.
It's the beginning of a new semester, so lots of new applicants, luckily most college students seem to realize the process of getting a job and forming first impressions starts with requesting and turning in the application and that it pays not to be rude to the person who's going to be handing your application over to the manager unless you want to be unemployed, because don't think I won't tell them not to hire you, it seems to be younger high school aged girls of a certain race who has the biggest problem with common courtesy. But strictly going by percent, you have a better chance of getting accepted to Harvard than a job here, and in case you haven't noticed we're in the middle of a recession, so being so lazy to even push in your chair isn't going to work in your favor!
Oh and the people who think that the middle of the lunch/dinner rush would be a swell time to call and check on your application, you fail at life.
