Man, I have an interview tomorrow at one of the stores frequently mentioned in this thread. :/

I think I'll just do my best and if they offer me the job, turn them down.

So, is there any place that's good to work your first job? I pretty much backed out of Target after reading this thread and seeing how many hoops they would want me to jump through just for a minimum wage holiday job.

I'm generally pretty open to lovely work and rear end in a top hat managers, the only things I want to avoid is (1) pressure to sell people poo poo they don't want like credit cards, magazine subscriptions and the like; and (2) stupid "team cheer" bullshit ala Wal-Mart.

At this point, since I'm going to Disneyland in January, I'm thinking of just walking into their "casting" office to see if I can get a job there and just relocate to do it. Entire books have been written about the slavish work and near-fascism of Disney management, but it's a company that I actually like (I pretty much studied Disney service culture and employee guidebooks as a teenager, since it was my dream job. I think I actually have the Operators Manual for Space Mountain in Florida around here, with all the startup/shutdown checklists.)

Given that I've already brainwashed myself as a teen to the Disney mold, to the level that no matter where I work I'll be pointing with two fingers and picking up and disposing any garbage I see even if it's not in my job description, I might as well work at a place that will appreciate those habits.
