I stayed with my grandmother for a while and she was convinced that I wasn't applying for jobs. We went out together for a shopping trip she stopped at a bank and suggested I go in to get an application. I told her that they will probably just tell me to apply online. She insists.

So I go in and they tell me to apply online. I return to the car and relay this to her, and she says nothing, gets out of the car, and walks in. A few moments later she walks out and tells me to apply online when I get home.

This was like ten years ago. I got a call from a McDonalds down there six months later asking if I was still looking for work but I was living in a entirely different state at the time since my grandmother had kicked me out.

It only works at really shitty places, like Waffle House, pizza hut, 7/11, dive bar, or a general labor job thatll have you wash the porta potties

My very first job at a freshly built, just opened Piggly Wiggly was gotten by walking in and talking to the manager. No other job in the 20 years after has been acquired this way. That Piggly Wiggly doesn't even exist anymore, and im pretty sure the strip mall that got built for it is mostly vacant.
