We entered this store as we entered all other stores. With smiles, anticipation, and our resumes in hand.
Morro was distracted immediately by the really sweet super awesome red high-tops with gold detailing that were displayed on the back wall. She made like a b-line and headed straight for them, therefore missing much of the interaction that was about to occur.
Jasp had her eye on the prize and asked an employee to see the manager. "I am the manager", he stated, "Great!", Jasp responded. "We are applying for jobs and wondering if you happen to be hiring", she continued. She handed him her resume and continued to introduce herself. At first the manager was smiling, seemed to be joking around, and then things got weird. He started to get really serious. Like, really legit serious. Then he started saying things like "Your dress is a bit extreme for our image". Jasp, looking at the other employee, pointed out that he was wearing a camo shirt. "You can't get much more extreme than army gear, am I right?" Morro joined back in at this point (by the way). The manager then went on a tirade again clowns saying that we were "being disrespectful to him and his store and their brand", that no one will hire us the way that we are.
So we did what any dejected clowns would do, said "sorry you feel that way and that we certainly wouldn't be buying those really awesome red high-tops", and left.
We certainly will not be going back to the store with a name that rhymes with Waldo!
