He was a teen applying to a fast food restaurant. The employee who helped him was a man.
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.
