| - Being called a joke by a restaurant manager is definitely a first for me.
I've always liked Madison's. Good food, fun, cold beer. So I thought "why not work here?". The kijiji ad had been posted for about a month without being filled, and said please apply in person in the evening. So I get dressed up nicely, drive up there, and ask for the manager. He comes out, listens to what I'm wanting and says "I'm not going to take your resume. I don't take resumes on Friday nights. NEVER bring that to a place like this on a weekend night, because people are going to think you're a joke. Have you ever even been in the industry?"
Now, granted, I should have perhaps thought better of going into a bar on a Friday night. But the ad said evening. It didn't specify which evenings were acceptable or not. And at 6:30 pm when your bar is half full? Yeah, okay. Regardless, berating me and making me feel like an embarrassed idiot for bringing you a resume in good faith and good will was not necessary. My taste for Madison's is pretty much soured now, and I'm quite thankful I got to hold on to my resume so as not to work under such a disrespectful person.
