This just happened. I'm literally sitting at the employment kiosk at Macy's right now. A woman just came up and asked me if they have boxes. Obviously I don't work here; I'm searching the system for a job. The employees wear all black. I have on linen pants and a chartreuse top. Wow.

I thought the employees wear something nice to work? That was the case when I worked at Macy's.

BTW - I do not recommend Macy's as a great place to work. EW city and the managers are all spineless. Tip from me to you, quote policy once, and if they still put up a fight, call a manager and watch them make you look like an idiot when they cave into SC demands. It's just not worth fighting with the SCs and EWs. Let the managers deal with it. That's what they get paid for. And if you can choose, I highly recommend housewares as a department. Unless you enjoy hell, don't work in shoes or lingerie. Those departments are the biggest messes. The commission on shoes isn't worth the hassle and mess.

After trying to take the survey, I gave up.

Did you get to the point where they make you take a psychological test? That cracked me up the most.

I never understand those things. They have the same question slightly reworded several times and somehow the test can determine if you'll be a good employee. Apparently test makers never learnt that people bullshit through tests.

They have. There's a disclaimer that says they will know if you're trying to look better than you are. Reminds me of that scene in Grease where the secretary lady is saying that the FBI will be able to find the culprits by looking at video of their butts.

I failed an pre-employment honesty test once because I answered the questions truthfully. Had I lied, I would have passed...

I have the same issue, more or less. ... Well, in a .. twisted sort of way. When I'm in my vest, about a sixth of the customers ask me if I work here. When I'm on my break, vest-less, just walking around, (I like being incognito.) people don't even bother to ask if I work there - They just come right out with their question. In other words people have to wonder more if I work there when wearing the store garb than if I have no signs that I work there at all. Confusion, thou art mine.

You're supposed to lie on those things.

They aren't about gauging how honest you are. They're about making the suits think they have a magic formula to weed out the bad eggs.
