A man went viral after sharing the details of how his job interview at Olive Garden went horribly wrong and TikTok hasn’t been shy about weighing in. 

In a video that’s gained over 60,000 views on the platform, a man took to TikTok to share how popular chain, Olive Garden, didn’t take his job interview seriously. 

He claims that he was made to wait for three hours in the waiting room without any appearance from the interviewer.

In the clip, we can see somebody, who he claims is the manager, approach him in his car, after he’d decided to leave the establishment. They ask: “Sir, are you being helped?”

“No, I was not being helped… I went on an interview at Olive Garden, and this is how it f*cking went: It went horrible. They sat me in a room and said, ‘We’ll be with you shortly.’ I was in that b*tch for three hours before somebody even spoke to me.” 

Then, when the man was finally interviewed, he reports: “She never really asked me anything. She just had a piece of paper out like she was writing stuff down and be like, ‘We’re gonna call you.’ How the f*ck are you gonna call me? You didn’t even get my phone number. Y’all didn’t even know I had an interview.”

People weigh in on man’s horrible Olive Garden interview

After the video was posted on the platform, people were eager to discuss the details of the man’s job interview. 

“Waited 3 hours… they are not worth YOUR time bruh. Everywhere is hiring right now,” one said in support. 

“I noticed job interviews now are just interviews with no opportunities to work,” another chimed in. 

The video’s posted seemed to agree, responding: “They know if they are going to hire you before you even come in in my opinion.”

Another shared their own frustrating interview experience: “I had an interview and it lasted a few minutes… Just to be told I had to interview two more times with two different managers. It took three weeks. Then I was told I didn’t get the job as a host despite having five years of experience.”

One, however, was skeptical about the man’s claims, asking: “Sit for three hours. You’re telling me you didn’t get up after one hour and ask what’s up?”
