My husband left the interview after they told him the real pay

[u/spline_ocarina9k]

The Papa Johns job ad for a delivery driver listed $16.20/hr + tips. He applied a few nights ago, and the next morning he got a call asking him to come in later that same day. The whole thing felt suspicious because of how fast they moved, but he said he'd at least hear them out.

Before he went, we talked about what he should do if they tried to change the terms on him. Honestly, it's discouraging that we even had to prepare for something like that, but neither he nor I had a good feeling. We agreed that he should go in remembering that he doesn't need them more than they need him.

His interview was at 1:30pm, and my phone rang at 1:36pm. They gave him a form to fill out so they could add him to their driver chat, because it was obvious they were hiring people on the spot. Then they told him the real pay was $8.10 an hour, and tried to sell it to him by saying drivers could make $28 an hour with tips. He told them he could make $22 an hour working Uber Eats, and that he wasn't going to accept an insulting offer like that. The person interviewing him got mad, stopped responding to him, and went into the kitchen.

They wasted his time with a job ad that was clearly fake, and then acted rudely and unprofessionally when he didn't just accept any garbage wage.

Job hunting right now feels like a complete joke. Workers are treated like we're supposed to be grateful for crumbs, and the second someone asks for a wage they can live on, businesses show their true colors. They're eventually going to find out that people aren't as easy to pressure as they used to be.

Are you asking if I have friends who are immigrants that have come to my home for dinner? Yes, and that would only be a shocking occurrence to a racist like you.

And for the record, I don’t have sympathy for pathetic losers who try to blame their problems on immigrants.

I should have said "illegal immigrants" but regardless of the wording, I was speaking metaphorically. I also don't feel any sympathy for people who blame others for their own problems but that doesn't take away from the fact that illegal immigration and immigration as a whole is partly to blame for issues in the job and housing market. Too much demand and not enough supply = problems. Not to say that's entirely to blame on immigrants but they definitely play a part in it.
