So here's the deal. A local vape shop advertised on FB that they need a new vaping associate with experience and to email a resume if interested. So I emailed my resume and followed up with a phone call a couple hours later. I asked the owner if he would have time to speak with me this afternoon, he said he would. I asked if 1:00pm would work for him, he said yes.
Long story short, after waiting two hours, due to customers, and him being short handed, he comes over to talk with me. I was okay with the wait, I understand customers are a top priority. He started off saying he had reviewed my resume, and that I may be over qualified for the position as he is not looking for a store manager. I told him, I was aware I was applying for an entry level position. He then said he probably couldn't pay me what I was expecting, I told him I had made no expectations and if anything, figured minimum wage or close to it would be what I expected.
Here's where it turned..
He then tells me that what he really needs is some young girls in the store and I don't fit the bill..
Now I'm pretty sure he was aware I was a man, if not from my name on the resume (Jonathan), then from my deep voice on the phone. So why the fuck have me come in in the first place?
