Today, I walked into Starbucks for a job application. I asked the manager if they were hiring, as I really need a job. He looked me up and down and replied, "NO!" There was a 'Now hiring' sign in the window. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after being recently laid off at work due to "cutbacks", I went job searching around town. During my drive, I cruised past my old workplace and saw a "now hiring" sign in their window. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. I really needed the job to keep my apartment. As I was being interviewed, the manager looked past me and stared off into space. There goes the job and my apartment. FML
Today, while going around trying to find a job, a manager came up to ask me, "Are you looking to work here?" I nodded happily, hoping this would be the end of my search. She looked me up and down, saw I had a jacket on to hide my tattoos and said, "Sorry, I can't hire heroin addicts." FML
Today, I applied for a job at a local store. As I walked out the door, I heard the manager read it out loud and everybody else laugh. FML
Today, desperate for work, I went into a shop and asked the owner if he had any spare jobs to fill. He looked me up and down and sneered, "Yes, but not for people like... you." FML
Today, I had a job interview. The moment I walked into the room, the interviewer said, "OK, I will interview you, but there is no way I'm hiring you." FML
Today, I was desperately handing out resumes. I came to my local grocery store and asked for a job application, the customer service rep told me all she needed was my resume. I smiled and gave it to her only to see her read it, laugh and put it straight in the garbage as I walked out. FML
Today, I went to Starbucks to get coffee. The employees told me that there was no more coffee. I started cursing at them and told them that I am in a really big hurry, and that I need coffee every day. They had been yelling back the whole time. Little did I realize, they were saying April Fool's. FML
Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML
Today, I went to an interview for a job at a company I've applied for numerous times this year. When I showed up at the interview room, I found it was a vacant office. I called and confirmed the address. I guess this was my hint to stop applying. FML

#4 - re-read the fml verrry carefully alot of places have those up and just never take them down even when they don't need people.... like the kfc near my place that has the rusted, crooked sign near the drive through.

Every Starbucks has the now hiring sign in the window, even if they aren't, not sure why. #13 is right. I know a few friends who work for Starbucks, and they've had some major cuts lately. And not every store takes applications if they aren't hiring. I work at a small retail store, and we people all of the time we aren't hiring, adn don't give out applications. Most of the time they get lost in the back on desks anyway. So don't be offended.

Probably for the best. Baristas are weird in general.

This has happened to me too! I went in after seeing the the sign in the window that said they were hiring. They told me not to even bother filling out an application.

HAH! Starbucks once told me "we only do careers here at Starbucks," when I tried to apply for a summer job to help pay for college.

Go to work at Dunkin' Donuts, or even better, Teavana. The people there are nicer in my experience.

three options.... a) you're ugly. sucks to be you. oh, and no, you can't sue for that. hiring practce cases are cake to defend against....and being ugly isn't protected b)starbucks always has the igns up. they have to c) you SHOULD apply at Dunkin' Donuts.....they have no issues with hiring fat/ugly people
