Random Scrap:
The whole incident put me in a good mood and when I arrived into the pizza joint I must have been radiating with confidence. There were six or seven other people who like me were looking for the job. At first it felt comforting that I wasn't on my own and that others were also in my situation. However, it quickly struck me that all of them were my potential competitor. We sat in a semi circle and were first asked to introduce ourselves. Then the manager conducting the interview asked us to describe a difficult situation with a customer and how we dealt with it. I knew I had to stand out. "One evening a customer called me an asshole for no reason. I spoke to the owner of the restaurant and he asked her to leave and never come back." It was indeed a true story except it didn't happen to me but to Ron, the waiter who kept calling me 'Polska Duma'. Against my expectations, the manager didn't seem to find it amusing and moved on to the next person. I had never heard from this pizza joint again.
