Maybe people shouldn't snap photos of other people and post the pictures online without their permission.
But the photo and story are heartwarming. It's nice to read good news once in a while.
Maybe this is the difference between women and men: I would have shown the kid how to tie a tie, but expected him do it himself.
I would also never hire anyone wearing a clip on tie.
He was a teen applying to a fast food restaurant. The employee who helped him was a man.
Yes, I'd have done the same if the interview was days in the future BUT in this case it was mere hours. Think back to your young days, did the ends look good ALWAYS? This is practicality - offering good service to a customer in need! KUDOs to these employees!
The funny thing is that a fast-food place probably isn't going to have the same expectations of a prospective employee than most employers do.
I once went for a job interview at a retail store when I was in college, and I dressed the way I thought I should dress for the interview. For the three years I worked there, some of my fellow employees would occasionally refer to me as "the guy who showed up for his interview with a suit and tie." LOL.
He was applying at Chick-fil-A. That he actually made an effort to look professional places him above probably 95% of the other people who come in there to fill out job applications.
The young man was serious about the interview. He wore a suit and was buying a tie. Helping a young person who is trying hard to make a good impression is a blessing. Applying for work at Chic Filet is an important step. He is seeking to work with a Christian business. The young man will do well.
See how whites instinctively try to lynch black youths?
Hands.freaking.down.
I have noticed the kids working there are ALWAYS well mannered, and polite.
He got good advice.
I tell people I don’t shop at Target because of the 2Gs:
Gays & Guns.
This changes nothing.
Though I do wonder if he would have done the same for a white teen...
If you worked in a factory you would. No tied ties in a factory.
...and Sundays off. Not bad for beginning job.
Your comment makes me wish that FR had a “Like” button. Well played, well played indeed. :=)
I don’t work in a factory. But, even if I did, I would never hire anyone who walked into an interview wearing a clip on tie.
Better no tie than a clip on. Just my 2 cents.
Yeah. Then they probably started asking him to get stuff off the top shelf.
When did every day common courtesy become so unusual that it is buzzed over?
Back in the day the young supervisors at UPS all wore ties...including tie-ties. When you made the jump from hourly to super, you "took the tie" (though later it became "going over to the Dark Side" as the Teamsters upped their slander game).
Given that the place contains miles of exposed conveyor belts which were regularly trod upon, finagled-with and wrestled...gawd, it makes me cringe to think of the unhappy possibilities...
