lol so have I. Went to an interview for a warehouse job when I was 18 and it turned out to be an attempt to get me to sell vacuums that was also an amway style pyramid scheme. Fuck those people for wasting my time.
I’ve heard of restaurants that have applicants do a ‘trial’ shift for no pay, and then never call back. They manage to line up a new person every night this way.
Trial shifts are a thing, but at least in the US they have to be paid to be legal. And wage theft, if reported, actually results in penalties for the fraudulent employer.
I’m guessing a lot of the teenagers that apply to work at restaurants that do these illegal, unpaid “trial shifts” aren’t aware of how illegal that is so they probably get away with it for far longer than they should.
Shit, a lot of adults in the US don’t know their federal and state rights as employees thanks to lack of education on labor laws. Laws only work if everyone is aware of them. Can’t report something if you don’t know it’s wrong in the first place.
I had thousands stolen from me in unpaid wages a few years ago and nothing happened when I reported it. Our institutions in the US are crumbling a little more year after year

If I found out somewhere was doing that I would report them to whoever I could
Also plant a bomb under the kitchen
You’d be blasting the laborers, though. The person responsible is at home doing zero work.
