Failed Question Number One

(My restaurant’s policy is to give everyone who comes in for a job interview empty cup for a complimentary drink while they wait.)

Interviewee: “Hi, I’m here for an interview at [time]?”

Me: “All right. Here, I think I’m supposed to give you this.” *hands her a drink cup* “Sit down somewhere over there and I’ll tell a manager you’re here.”

Interviewee: *standing there awkwardly holding the cup* “Is this for a drink or do I need to pee in it?”

Me: “Uh, it’s for a drink.”
