There is a pizza/brewhouse type of place down the street hiring and I am interested in working there part time on the weekends. Problem is I haven't walked into a place to apply since 2008 when I worked at an On The Border. It's been a while and I am pretty nervous that they will think I am a loser, especially if I apply and don't get hired, so when the people who work there see me out in public they will see me as the loser who couldn't even get hired at the pizza brewhouse.

Nope, no one has ever done that.

Isn't that what these places typically hire?

I see people at our front desk filling out applications all the time. We have 1500 employees though and hire a lot of young people to work the phones.

I guess but it would be defeating because for my main job I probably make 2-3x as much as the managers who would make the decision not to hire me

In my experience throughout the service industry, if a place has a help wanted sign, you will get an on the spot interview as long as you don't look like you are on drugs are homeless.

Sorry no one here can do anything about you loser-ish vibe you may or may not put off

Just call and ask if they are hiring and if you can come put in an application. They will probably tell you to frick off when you tell them you only want to work weekends.

Didn't you say last week you make 85k?

Why do you need a part time minimum wage job?

then don't fricking worry about it

if you can't get a job there it's b/c of your schedule demands or the fact that you have a real job. it's not b/c you're a "loser"

I feel like this is a set up for this to become a dating advice post, but I'm not seeing where the connection is going to be made.
