All’s Well That Ends With A Job!
When I was eighteen, I noticed an ad in the paper saying that a gas station was hiring. I decided to head down to the local branch and talk to the owner.
Me: “Hi. I read that ‘Help Wanted’ ad of yours in the paper.”
Boss: “What ad?”
Me: “Uh… the… ad? In the local paper?”
Boss: “I didn’t post any ad.”
Me: “No?”
Boss: “No. Are you sure it wasn’t [Franchise Location ten miles away]?”
Me: “Oh… I guess it could have been.”
Boss: “However… now that you mention it… I kind of do need some more people…”
I ended up working part-time there for two years. And yes, the ad was for that other station.
