Candidate-reported interview process

I applied online for a part-time job. The starting wage is low for NYC ($19/hour) where one needs to make at least $25/hour to have a living wage. The interviewer stated they do not work around any other work you may have schedule-wise, which is a super gross attitude to have for part-time work that is paying below a living wage.

Great process with a friendly manager. Look forward to starting with this company. Interview took place at the store and had fairly basic server interview questions ranging from questions about POS to sections.

It was simple and quick. I had to memorize the menu and also sell the items to the manager. I also had to know the specific ingredients of each item and be energetic.
