/ck/ - Food & Cooking

What qualities are you looking for when hiring an employee?

I try to be reserved and polite during my public functions, which some managers interpret as timidness. I have been declined employment opportunities from nearly forty fast food locations. McDonalds and Subway would rather give a teenager stumbling over their words a job than a man in his 20's. It's discouraging. I have also been accused on rare occasions more recently for loitering while waiting on my order and told I have to buy something or get out because this is not the lottery. I just want to work.
