“When I was 19, I applied to work at Chuck E. Cheese. I showed up in person three times for the interview and had it rescheduled each time before actually getting to speak with a manager. When I finally got to speak with one, he asked the typical questions — ‘Why do you think you’d be a good fit?’ etc. I said, ‘I’m friendly and outgoing and a real people person, so I think I could make a great impression with the guests.’ He says, ‘Everyone can say they’re outgoing, but actually walking the walk is something different. Hold on.’ He got up and left and came back five minutes later IN THE CHUCK E. COSTUME.
“He said, ‘Okay, if you’re really outgoing, you’re gonna come with me and hype these kids up and learn this dance.’ So I had to get up and dance with the mouse in front of all these kids, trying to follow the moves. I was mortified and doing a terrible job because I was so caught off guard. He turned to me, while in costume, and said, ‘Yeah, I didn’t think you could walk the walk.’ Bro, this job paid like $6 an hour, and this was my third attempt at interviewing!”
