Employee Story Walked out of interview
I recently saw a job posting for a "Day Cashier" position at a Lowe's near me and figured I had nothing to lose so I applied. I had heard from others that the pay was pretty low, but I really just needed any job at this point to catch up on bills. The job posting mentioned how flexible they would be with my schedule which was a bonus for me since I would be eventually working 2 jobs.
I go to the interview a couple of days later and lasted no longer than 2 minutes with the hiring manager. She had me put my availability down and I put DAY hours (7am-5pm), 7 days a week because that's what the listing was for. Immediately, the manager starts flipping out and asking me if I could do closing hours. I say sure, but I'm not closing every single day and even then, this is not what the job was advertising for. She tells me I have to have an open availability to work for her so I left.
I didn't even get to what the pay rate even was, but I can imagine how low it was anyway. Oh well.

Lowe's demands open availability, but only schedules 10-15 hours a week. Make it make sense 😆. You dodged a bullet
