I just moved to New York and have applied to so many restaurants, got far in the interviewing process, only to be told, we'll call and let you know our
decision. Now, where I was born and raised, they really did call (and never did the call say NO, YOU ARE NOT HIRED). In New York, they just don't call.
Is it that hard to call and say no? I am stressed all day about needing a job and do they just not have the guts? What is going on here, it's really
pissing me off and stressing me out. Advice?

Try missing paying a bill. They always call.

"We'll call you" == NO. So don't sit by the phone

I just moved to New York and have applied to so many restaurants, got far in the interviewing process, only to be told, we'll call and let you know our decision.I live in New York, and I completely understand your complaint. Did you wear clothes during your interview? They're real sticklers for potential employees to cover up their genitals when serving food (some form of ridiculous health violation policy they enforce). Also, it's best not to pick your nose and wipe the snot on the managers desk while he's reading your resume. Good luck! S. |

Start collecting empty soda bottles and empty cans.
You may need a grocery cart for this. You can "borrow" one from your local market. |

call each and every loser that doesn't get the job because it's never just, "Hi, you didn't get the job. Bye." It's a call, then a
voicemail, then a call back, then a voicemail, then a return call, then when you finally get the loser on the phone, they always want to know why they
didn't get the job and what they can do next time to get the job.

If you need some solid, REAL advice about getting a job in the very scary NYC area restaurant business-feel free to
Private Message Me: Your Dear Uncle SuitSnob. Shame on you all...don't you know how hard it is to start out in a big, sacry city?
Before I lose my Sucks Cred, let me also add: You might want to wait until you have completed your gender reassignment surgery before continuing to apply. Customers can get kind of icked out by that sort of shit... |

Yeah they say they call you here if you do or if you don't get the job in California, but they really don't call you if you don't.

I've actually called ONCE back and she was like "oh I'm sorry, I mean you are great but I just decided to go with another candidate, you were all
so close though..." blah blah blah, at least have the time/guts to call back anyhoo, I went back 1 year later for the same job, she was like
"weren't you here last year?" and offered the job to me, luckily I got the job where I am now and didn't call her back, bitch deserved it
plus why would I work for her when she paid $14/hr when I was gonna get paid $27/hr |

I ended up getting a job two weeks ago as a server at a diner. Not the best serving job in the city, but pretty good. In about a month, I'll start
looking for a better city serving job, due to everyone wanting NYC experience. And I understand that now...NYC is a little crazier to serve in than where I
was raised, Akron and Cleveland, OHIO

It's bad. People are pretty damn bitchy and picky here. The main reason I want to quit is because half of my tables complain about their food when it
comes out. One bitch complained about her slider buns sticking to the burger patty so she couldn't put ketchup on it. Bitch, it's a slider, a small
burger...they are supposed to be like that. Anyways, when I have to put in their food, not once, but twice, and the 2nd time takes a while, sometimes THREE
times (yes it happens!) people get pissed at me! And plus I neglect my other tables dealing with that bullshit! Fuck it.
