I got an email to set up an interview for today, September 28. I got to the store for my 11 am interview around 10:35 am. I was hanging around the store because nobody seemed to know about the interview. About 15 minutes later, someone found me and took me to a room, but couldn't find the interviewer. He showed up another 15 minutes late, and he seemed annoyed. I was in a room with 5 other people, but they were there for other reasons. The interviewer approached one of them and said in an irritated tone, "yea I have to interview a person for visual." He then took me to a corner and casually asked how I was. He asked me a couple of questions, mentioned I was the second person he interviewed, and that he had more interviews scheduled. He said he'd call me back within the next two weeks. I doubt he will, and honestly, I don't even care. I wouldn't want to be around him anyway.
