I may have to invest in khaki pants

It is surprising that I've not had a job yet that required me to wear khaki pants, but this morning I had an interview at the subway...
I doubt I'll get it because I was seriously up reading ilX until 6am, then I lay awake in bed until I had to get up at 8:45 to get ready for the interview, so I was puffy/delirious/haggard/mute

The manager/owner whatever was pretty manic. I really don't know how to act in interviews, like what these people want to hear, because I completely don't relate to the mind of the aggressive franchisee, or really anyone that is capable of being anyone else's boss (not to come off as some contrarian twerp). The thing I want to say in all interviews is, "all I ask is you pay me, I can listen to the radio & I get left alone"

"You can't give away food...We stress portion control because if you give that guy a bunch of extra olives that are just going to wind up in his lap, that's money that could be going into your paychecks...We give a discount to cops because they help us out, they make sure we're safe at night"

"Um, isn't that they're job?"


Yeah, I probably blew it there.

surely the woeful tale of not getting a job at Subway because of a late night reading ilx is on par with any of the great Shakespearian tragedies.

does subway require you to buy a denim shirt, put on 30 lbs, and become a sexually ambiguous man too?

Or put on a denim shirt, lose 150 pounds, and become a sexually ambiguous man?

xpost It would not be the first time ilX cost me a job. I'm not even joking that much.

We give a discount to cops because they help us out, they make sure we're safe at night

Wow, how much discount do they give?
