Worst. Borders Trip. Ever.

[Josh]

Ok. So I just went to Borders today for two reasons. 1) To get a new bookmark and 2) to apply for a job. The following took place between 2:00 PM and 2:30 PM

I walked into Borders and asked a cashier if they were hiring. She said yes and got the manager to bring me an application. I turned the application in and the manager told me that things looked good and that I should expect a phone call tomorrow about an interview. Ok sweet.

Then I went and shopped around the store a bit. Found a few books I'd like to get but didn't intend to buy them. Went up to the bookmark location and noticed something peculiar. Every single bookmark was Twilight related.

So I went to the cashier (who was probably 17 and had the stereotypical "Dumb blonde" feel to her) and asked if there were any other bookmarks (I was polite at this point) and she said "Why would you want something other than Twilight? It's the best" (Not even answering the question I had asked). I told her to look at me and see if she thought I liked Twilight. She said "Yes. Everyone loves Twilight. Did you see the MTV show last night? It won a lot of awards." This is where I lost my cool.

I said "I do not like Twilight. I am over the age of 12, have gone through puberty and possess a penis. I do not like Twilight. Now do you or do you not have any other bookmarks?" At the exact point I said "penis" I could see the look on her face changed. She immediately called the manager and told him I was harassing her. I tried to explain but the manager just got angrier each time I mentioned I had said penis. Eventually he grabbed the back of my shirt and walked me to the front door and told me that if I ever came in here looking for trouble again, he'd call the cops and press charges. Also told me that he was going back to his office right now to shred my application.

Fml.

Wow, you lost a job over a Twitard

Probably a good thing you aren't going to be working there, you'll probably run into more Twitards that way =/

Press charges against the manager, he doesn't have the right to touch you without a security license unless you were physically threatening someone. Seriously, Twitards are bitches. I hate them all, and she gets thrown right in that pile. But yeah, he had no right to physically escort you out, especially if you didn't threaten anyone, and since it sounds like he didn't ask you to leave. File a report. The police will side with you.

Firstly, you should have been smart enough not to say something like that in a place you had just applied for a job at. Even if you don't work there yet, or you work there and are off the clock, you still need to act in a professional manner. However, Saknika's right. Press charges, because that was bullshit.

Press charges for the banter, and in future try not to piss off prospective employers because you don't like their bookmark selection.
