Yeah the manager said they couldn't hire me. Something about low budget. I'm crushed right now. Like seriously sick to my stomach

Dammit. What a complete bummer. That's just not right. I mean, if it's not in the budget, then it's not in the budget... but still... sux sux sux.

Sorry to hear the bad news and that you're taking it so hard.If the position was that far out of their budget and they didn't even realize it before offering the job, you're probably better off knowing now, rather than in a week from now say. And from what else you've said they sound very flying-by-the-seat-of-their-pants--not the best business arrangement to get into.

Yeah you're probably right. It went from the owner saying "get more girls in here" to "keep a limited amount of employees" in a matter of a week. I guess some biker clubs cancelled their annuals/parties. I don't know. I still like the head chef there, I worked with him at my old job.

The manager said she'll keep my application on the top. Hugs and kisses, blah blah blah.

My fiance's state pres is talking about going up there and talking to the owner since they had a few parties up there before.

Waitresses don't make shit. I don't believe that it is a budget issue. Perhaps they simply could not take on another person at this time or there was a conflict of some sort. Keep on trucking and apply elsewhere. Be flexible because you want to make money. Being upfront about your needs and wants is great, but it may turn off some employers. See what they need first. Just a suggestion. Best of luck on your search. Keep your resume on hand in your car so that you can hand it off wherever you are if you see a place you feel you would like to drop it off at. The more you hand out, and the more people (managers) you meet in person, the better the chance you will have.

I'm not actually looking for a job, I just wanted one to fill in the gaps between traveling. Plus, I knew the head cook and my fiance's biker club and other bikers I know frequent the bar. Not to mention I was looking forward to spending my Saturdays washing bikes in a bikini (my standards are low...I know). I could go apply at Target or Best Buy but I really don't want to. I'm pretty stubborn on where I work.

I might apply at another bar around town, idk...I think I'll just keep my schedule open for these guys. It's not "biker season" yet so I can understand why it's slow. Most of the other bars around town report the same. Once it warms up and the guys start their events and rallies again I'm sure I'll get a call back.
