Interview
It was an obvious bait and switch. They said I'd be the very first interview for a management position. I walk in and instantly get told the position was filled the day before and offered minimum wage as a cashier without even being interviewed. No curtesy call the position was filled or anything. And they had the nerve to get attitude and be rude about not wanting the minimum wage job
