I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

I missed an interview because of the weather last Friday.

The horrible rain caused an accident and I was late getting to work.

I ended up interviewing her on the phone.

I offered her the job.

She let me know she had other interviews but would let me know her decision.

On Sunday she accepted.

I didn’t get back to her on Sunday.

On Monday, by the time I responded, she sent me an email saying she’d reached out to me by email several times and phoned the restaurant. Could I please respond?

24 hours had not passed at this time.

When I did respond I explained that I was one manager running three restaurants doing the best I can.

She was quite nice with her response.

Yesterday was a blur.

I had a managers meeting, then an interview that led right up to service. I didn’t get back to her yesterday.

Today I got this message:

Any update Jeff? I’m starting my other job on the 7th and would like to get a schedule from you for a start date.
I understand that your busy but I also turned down 5 other places for this job, I’m also a very busy person.
Please let me know as soon as possible, thank you.

Here’s the thing.

She couldn’t start till the end of next week.

And I really am doing the best I can.

I responded by rescinding the job offer.

If she’s this impatient now it’s only going to get worse when she gets comfortable.

And I’m sure she’ll be much happier at a restaurant with more managers who can be more responsive.

I do wish her well.
