Today, I had a job interview at the local donut shop. It turns out I misunderstood the position, and that the job was actually to wear a donut costume and wave at cars outside the shop. I was told this after I got hired. FML

Today, I had a job interview. I was almost late due to road closure and being blocked in my street by the trash truck. The "interview" turned out to be a hiring fair, with lots of other people. I had to wait outside for 3 hours in the sun with no shade, water or food. I didn't get the job. FML
Today, I got a call about a job interview, saying I was hired. I was ecstatic, until they called me back and said they'd called the wrong applicant. They called again later, saying there'd been a mistake and I really was hired. When I went in to confirm it, they said they'd never heard of me. FML

You should always ask and get all the details of the job you're applying for. But it's still a job and after a while maybe they'll promote you to inside work.

Just quit. Simple.

Quitting isn't always the best idea. People who quit without a two weeks notice find it hard to get another job. Stick it out OP and be glad you have job.

#40 - No....people who find it necessary to list a few hours of employment on their next job application find it hard to get another job.

If there was a misunderstanding and you talk with them right away, they are usually ok about letting you quit without warning since they were interviewing people. I had a recruiter place me in a data entry instead of web job once even though I asked about job duties. The recruiter misled me. I dealt with hr at the company they put me with and left the job. They moved onto the next candidate. All was good after I told the recruiter where to go. I imagine the company may have too since they were depending on them to do the employee hunting for them without lying to candidates.

Honestly, I think I'd rather be a dancing donut and spend my time outside instead of inside, glued to the counter. At least now you have a way to work off the donuts you eat-without going to a gym! Own it!

That's not too bad! It's not like anyone is going recognize you in a finite costume and you're getting paid for it.

Never assume ANYTHING. Always ask for clarification. On the bright side, you got the job.

Stand in front of the police station. Either you'll bring in a lot of business, or some large cop will try to eat you.
