Recruit
Rushing through the doors of the Whole Foods in Union Square, I was able grab a basket, take my headphones off, and get halfway past the wall-o-bread before I realized there was a rather attractive girl running after me yelling for me to stop.
Perplexed, I paused, which gave her just enough time to launch into her spiel.
Girl: Hello. I work for Abercrombie & Fitch, and we're opening a new store uptown. I think that you are just what we are looking for. You should come up and interview next Tuesday!
Me: Interview? For what?
Girl: A job! (giggle)
Me: You think I'm unemployed and can still afford to shop at Whole Foods???
Girl: (enthusiastically) A job as a salesperson!
Me: Um. No thanks. Sorry. I've got a job.
Girl: No problem! Come visit us when we open!
Ok...it's not that I'm not flattered ... but when did Whole Foods start letting people recruit in their store? And Whole Foods and A&F? Not exactly a match made in heaven.
While waiting in the checkout line a few minutes later, I watched this girl work her magic on at least 4 other boys ... with blonde hair ... who were also white ... and ... Hey! Wait a second! I see the pattern now... (sigh).
