applying for a job.......
So I am senior at a local university, and will be going to grad school next summer. I am moving to the area the school is located and was looking for a part time job that was close to home. I got an interview at a low carb grocery type store. Seemed like an alright job. While in the interview the lady was asking about my diet. I explained about switching between bulking and cutting diets, and my current diet. She then tells me that since I am not actually ON the atkins diet, I am not a good candidate for the job. Now keep in mind, this is for a part time sales position. She then begins to explain all this nutritional/diet info to me, and keeps saying "this is for your own personal info..", and "well i disagree with that". I was 2 steps away from strangling her. Is that the most ignorant thing you have ever heard? I said "so you mean to tell me that I cannot learn all there is to know and be able to pass that along to customers??" She says they want people who "embrace" the diet. At this point im pissed and bring up the 2 chubby sales people that were in the store when I entered. I said "well I can't tell if your current employees are on the atkins diet or not, or any diet for that matter, but I think that I would at least look better than them, and in a short amount of time would know everything you want me to." Needless to say at about this point I knew I wouldn't be working there. She forces a smile and says "thanks for applying" and I just walked off. Some people need to be slapped.....
