Good for the kid.

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.

The fast food restaurant was Chic F Lay.

I have noticed the kids working there are ALWAYS well mannered, and polite.

He got good advice.

I hear ya'. When I was young, in my late teens and early 20's, I probably overdressed for interviews for minimum wage jobs, too. I'm female, though, so it didn't involve ties. But, that's what I find so endearing about this story.

Same here.

Always showed up at interviews in a jacket and tie. Dishwasher, busboy - whatever the position. Always got the job - even though I got some odd looks.
