Job Interview Today

Sign in to disble this ad
Wish me luck, Boys and Girls. The Domino's that my father in law owns has been robbed at gunpoint a couple times in the last few months, so "career" change time for me. Also, a lot of my classes are in the afternoon/ evening. I'm interviewing at a PPG Porter Paint store, which does commercial and residential paint sales.

Anyways, hopefully this all works out.

Remember to ask about their drug testing policy, and if it's OK to date co-workers or customers.

I hope your wife no longer works there if you feel it's unsafe.

Nope, we're out of domino's for good. While we were on vacation (a night I was supposed to be working) a guy came in with a tech9 and robbed the place, putting the automatic pistol to the manager's head. Since then we've installed more cameras, more lighting, and my wife and I left.

The interview went very well. I have to pass the drug and background check , and then I'm good to go. I'll also be making more money and not be in a Gaza Strip like environment. Thanks for the positive thoughts, TB brothers.

Also, a Tech 9?? Jeez, what a POS. No wonder they were trying to steal some money

Glad you got outta there.

They actually robbed the walgreens next door hours later, then mugged a guy in the street and shot and killed a guy to came out and told him to stop. Great people.

I'm crossing KC off of my places to visit; not that it was ever on it in the first place. Here's hoping you get the job!!! They probably drug test to make sure you won't be in back huffing paint fumes instead of working.

Do they test for paint fumes? How long do they stay in your system?


Personally, I kind of think drug testing is a joke. Most major drugs filter out of your system in a few days, except marijuana. So really, most pee tests are just testing for marijuana usage. And what will happen when marijuana is legalized? Will they still be able to turn you down for testing positive for pot?

there's no reason to come to KC. The tattoo shop where my wife got her tattoo has a shirt that says "welcome to kansas city" with a picture of a handgun and on the bottom says "duck, mother****ers". It's funny / sad because it's true.
