I was recently kicked out. I was working for my parents previously, so I am now in need of work. My girlfriend and I have been thoroughly searching for jobs for four or five months now. Finally, my girlfriend was able to find a job here at Applebees. Shucks called me and had me come to be interviewed, but it doesn't look like they are going to call me back. I had already turned in an application to Applebees, and I learned that they were looking for a host. I called and they told me I needed to be 18. I asked them why and they said that it is just their policy. They wouldn't even consider hiring me as a dishwasher. I'm 17, not living at home, paying my own bills, buying my own food, working on my own cars, trying to save enough for college, yet I cant get a job there. I'm so fucking tired of hearing that a company isn't hiring, or that they just hired three people last week. I finally find a very likely place of employment, and they give me some bullshit reason why they aren't going to hire a 17 year old.
