View Full Version : I couldn't get a job

I couldn't get a job this summer because of some bitch girl working there. I went in and asked for the application and she wouldn't give it to me. I asked why and she said, "We don't hire freaks, go to the circus instead." I got really pissed and told her to fuck herself. Some guy (I think was the manager) came out of his office and told me to leave or he'd call the cops.
So I'm broke, no job, and probably won't be able to get a job there...ever. :(

That's what you get for looking like Marilyn Manson.
Plus, who hires 14 year olds anyhow?

Plus, who hires 14 year olds anyhow?I don't look like Marilyn Manson you dumb ass, he has black lipstick, paler than me, LONG BLACK HAIR...get the picture? You're clearly a dumb ass just like her. If I applied for a job would you tell me to go to the circus? And they hired fourteen year olds, when I called to ask they said they did.

Had you ever seen a picture or were you only saying I looked like him because it's his song in my signature?http://jimbuie.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/marilyn_manson_012.jpg

^there's a picture in your sig too, i'm assuming it's you. and i would have told you to fuck off too. i like manson, and i don't give a shit what you listen to on your own time, but when you are trying to get a job the person doing the hiring doesn't know anything about you, so you need to make a decent first impression. which means making the effort to make yourself presentable to a potential employer. if you are too fucking lazy to even do that, then what is there to make this manager think that you aren't going to throw away your uniform and show up to deal with customers dressed in a way that would offend some of them? it's just common sense, if someone doesn't bother to try getting hired then they probably won't bother to do a good job either.
besides, it's not like this is the only place you could possibly work, there's probably other places that would hire a 14 year old, assuming you have a work permit. just don't go in there trying to start a fight and you might have a better chance of getting the job

Ugh, why are we being infiltrated by idiots? :confused:
Why do you even need a job? You're 14--it's not like you have bills. :rolleyes: What do you even need money for? Just do under-the-table stuff like babysitting or mowing lawns. That'll give you some spending money without having to deal with assholes. There you go, problem solved.

When I was 14 I sold Adderal and made $40-$80 a week. You could always resort to that.

You do need to look presentable when you go to apply for a job. Most people dont want to go to a store and see a chick with black hair, black clothes, and crazy make up. youd scare a lot of people away. (not that theres anything wrong with the way you look) But if the manager thinks your gonna scare customers away, he isnt gonna hire you. Next time, go up there with some normal, nice clothes, and less make-up.

I know where you're coming from. Don't listen to these rude and ignorant assholes. I've had the same problems that you do now, and I wish there was something else I could say to comfort you, but the bitter truth is that by the end of the day these people own their companies, and therefore they can legally discreminate you based on your appearence. Don't take it as such a big loss, though. Knowing how these people are now, are you sure you would have liked to work there anyway?
You did the right in there. Don't let people walk all over you just because ownership of something makes them feel like better people than you and I, and that it somehow permits them to treat other people like trash. It doesn't. There's no excuse for being a dickhead. You stood up for yourself. Good. I'm proud of you. You're braver than most.
You're young yet. You've got so much time ahead of you and so much to expirience. Don't worry, you'll find something.

For everyone's information that said I needed to look "presentable", I wore a pair of normal jeans, black/red T-shirt, didn't spike my hair, didn't wear as much eyeliner.
So just because my sig shows what I usually wear, don't go around assuming I go in looking for a job like that.
Freakymetalchik
08-05-2007, 05:53 PM
Or it used to show what I normally wear, I've changed it. NOW it's Marilyn Manson, not me.

There you go, problem solved.Umm, I need money because my family's not rich and they don't give me money every time I ask for it? In fact they don't give me money for anything. And who said babysitting/lawnmowing frees me from having to deal with assholes? There are plenty of assholes in my town, thank you very much.
I need money for BUYING stuff. Like I said, we're far from rich. I don't know where you grew up, but you're damn lucky if no one there was an asshole. And you're lucky if your parents gave you money for everything with you were my age.

Nevermind. :rolleyes: Sometimes people have a hard time distinguishing between needs and wants. And I have a very hard time believing that your parents never buy you the things you need.

08-05-2007, 07:34 PM
I didn't say they didn't buy me things I need, I said they didn't give me money every time I asked for it. There are things I want that I can't get and need money for. Cds, etc. So please stop putting words in my mouth and read the post before you respond.

And I should probably get used to it........I can't though.
Thanks for the advice :)

Unfortunatly most people here are right....bosses who hire people will judge you by the way you look when you go in for an interview. Alot of places don't consider jeans (even dressy black jeans) good enough for the work place.
My kids hated the fact that they had to wait till they were old enough to work somewhere...then of course both my son's first jobs were fast food places.
AFTER 1 son already had the job did he walk in dressed like Marilyn Manson....and yes, my son painted his face totally white with black lipstick & went to work in the kitchen of BK.
After he proved that he could run the kitchen by himself...everyone got used to it & knew that whatever he wore or music he listened to had no effect on the quality of his job. Actually he probably worked better when they let him just be him.

I think you're joking though. :D

anyway, too bad this chick was such a shallow moron and put you down in such a crude way. too bad you couldn't get a job this summer. just try it again next summer and try to learn from it. I think the being assertive instead of aggressive thing is a good one...

yeh hon, i that saying "fuck you bitch" was wrong. I understand where you are coming from. I had my time. I havent seen your picture or anything, but if you are going to look out of the norm, people are going to look at you and think your "wierd". Unfortunatley people are not very accepting and if you dont conform to society's standards, people will look at you funny. Maybe your in a phase, maybe not. But you are who you are. I do think you should think about what you say before you say it though. I think you already know that though...
I stopped caring what people think more recently though. I realized the important people are already in my life and if I happen to meet a few that accept me for who I am then that makes it all the better. But you must realize your in high school or junior high and kids will be kids and pick on who they can to hide their insecurities and make themselves feel better. However if you are going to get a job you should care about what your employer thinks. I usually dress up for job interviews, black dress pants and a nice shirt.
But, your 14, dont you have to be at leadt 15 for a work permit?!

My point is, you're being a little over-dramatic. Just because you were turned down at one place doesn't mean you're totally fucked in life. Just let it roll off your shoulder. It's better, anyway, that they blew you off immediately instead of hiring you and then being assholes later, right? Anyway, it's fine... you're barely even old enough to work, so don't sweat it so much. Just take the advice you've been given, move on, and apply somewhere else. :)

Wow, I don't know what to say, my parents paid for everything including University and my car, and my first job was working for canadian conservative party.
I got paid $12 an hour, I don't love being an asshole but it's times like these I like to laugh at poor people.

But why would you listen to me? I'm poor.
