outback steakhouse
Steph and I just got done gorging ourselves at Outback like it was the last full meal we’d ever eat as a childless couple. No, the baby’s not coming tomorrow, but we’re trying to make the most of every evening we have from here until kickoff.
But it reminded me of the fact that I actually applied for a job at this particular Outback my first couple months out of college. I was desperate and in dire need of money. And since they say everyone in the music industry gets their start working at a restaurant, I figured why not give it a shot? So I filled out my application (man it was spectacular) and I went in for my meeting with the manager.
He glanced at my app and we made pleasant conversation for about 37 seconds, after which he told me that I – a double-major, recent graduate with honors from business school – was unqualified for a position at Outback Steakhouse.
…. sigh…
It’s alright. I’d rather eat their steak than serve their steak.
