Agreed.
Even allowing that we only have one side of the story, it still looks bad for the hiring practices of the restaurant.
If the niece had stayed at the bar and caused a scene then sure, that is an individual I would not want working at my bar. But, that is so far from what was described that it seems unlikely.
- Did the business hold an interview out in the bar area and then become unhappy that one of the patrons was a relative? That would be an odd business practice.
- Did the business decide against hiring the individual based on their transportation situation? I guess if you have potential employees lining up at your door you can be that choosy.
- Did the niece have a drink at the bar and the restaurant decide "we wouldn't hire anyone who made the poor choice to actually drink here?"
It is odd to have an interview and make a hiring decision the same day the application was turned in. Something seems strange there.
Who knows? As someone else pointed out, there are many restaurants looking for help these days. Hopefully the niece can find a good fit at one of the others.
Still like the food, the experience of the OP won't keep me from going there.
