The Face of the Earth

Every. Single. Day. This Guy. He's OK. So far.

So I'm gonna pitch a little insight to everyone about my manager. He did something today. It was actually something he said, but it made me think.
A young indian woman walked in today as soon as we opened. Her accent was thick. She approached my manager and asked if we were hiring. I work at a restaurant. A chain. I've worked at this particular store for two years. The "Now Hiring" sign has never left the window. Somone quits everyday cause it sucks to be there. We are always hiring. And yet... my manager looks this girl dead in the face and says "We are not currently looking for new employees at this time". BULLSHIT! Because I'm looking for new co-workers, that don't call out and make me stay hours after my shift. This isn't the first time he's said this to certain people, but this chick was different. She fired back. She just directly asked my manager if it was because of her culture and how she spoke. Yikes. So now I'm on the edge of my seat. But I'm standing, so I'm just kinda leaning forward awkwardly. I'm also wrapping cookies in plastic wrap. So, my manager (the robotic procedure ass that he is) assures her that we are an equal opportunity employer and are proud of the diversity that the restaurant displays. And then he extends his hand toward the kitchen to present us like a car show. Let me draw a visual for you... Everyone is black except me! I am the diversity! And of course as soon as he "presents us", her and I make eye contact. And at that moment we connected on the same level of hatred for this man. I feel like he thinks a huge productive stride in civil rights was being sustained by whites and blacks working side by side at Qdoba MEXICAN Grille.
Needless to say, the girl left without an application and my manager was soooo proud of himself.
I don't get it. Businesses. Corporate companies that use the "trickle down" effect on their staff are illusionists. Magicians. David Copper Field of Lies! Once you see it, you're momentarily impressed. And then you kinda feel sick. And then you rant.
But the food is Delicious!
