This used to be (or still is) big in retail, I heard. For most days of the week, a clothing store could get a candidate for a free trial day, they would fold clothes, move boxes, etc, helping out the employees. After that, they get the “we’ll stay in touch”, but next day, somebody else is doing their trial day, and so on. Basically the store gets one extra employee for free

That isn't allowed in the US,. At least for now.

Are unpaid internships still a thing? I haven't heard of them in quite a while.

Unpaid internships are only allowed IF they get college credits. Otherwise it’s illegal, but of course that doesn’t stop people

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
