Today, I went to Waffle House to talk to the manager about getting a job. My boyfriend now wants to beat up the manager for giving me his number so that I can call him whenever I'm done filling in the application. FML

Any man that chooses violence as the answer needs to be replaced.

Maybe your boyfriend is more of a pancake guy.

How long should it take to fill out an app for Waffle House? Did they ask questions you didn't know the answer to?

Obviously you have never been to one of those places when they are slamming busy. Doesn't seem odd at all to be sent away with the application & asked to call later.

Lose the "Old Man" not the phone number. He's a boy, but he ain't your friend. This guy will try to isolate you from friends, family and anything he does not control. You'll end up giving up contacts to keep the peace. It just gets worse. I'm speaking from experience. Does he open your mail yet?

#33 sounds like she knows this sad, predictable pattern. Too many women I know have been with controlling guys like this.

You have a ridiculous way of thinking. Perhaps she has a history with guys or of being manipulated. Jealousy and being protective to save her from her old self and associates who made her into a ***** for their own measures is good.

Why would you need to call the manager once you're done with the application? Plus, it's a business. You could always call back and ask to speak to the manager, unless he gave you his personal number for some reason. There are some details lacking here. I can't go either way based on this.

I agree. It's not like its Waffle House corporate and he's the CEO. Why would you need his number when you can just call whatever Waffle House you applied to?

Seriously, call his personal number when you're finished with the application? How many male applicants do you think got his phone number? He totally wants to sleep with you.

No one said personal number. The manager probably gave her a work cell #.

I doubt a waffle house pays for a work cell. Even for its managers. Nice try though.

I've applied to numerous amount of jobs, this never happens. You either sit there and fill it out or bring it back when your done. Something is off about that and your boyfriend is right to feel on edge

I agree, its 50/50. I've never heard of calling back a manager to hand in a application. But at same time, your boyfriend needs to back off a bit. Your a big girl who can handle making her own decisions and mistakes. Dont let him stop you from applying.

I don't know how it usually works in the US, but over here, specially in small stores (even if they're part of a large company), it's very common to deal directly with the manager when applying for a job, and it wouldn't be strange if they ask you to call them, or if they called you instead. And when she says "his number" doesn't necessarily means his personal number, but probably the number of his office.

Having worked a few restaurants when I was younger, I can fill in a few of the things she didn't mention or may not have known, so didn't include. If she came to fill out the application close to one of their rush times, she would have been sent away with it. If she made a good impression on the manager, she would get asked to call so the manager could make sure he actually got her app, and it didn't get lost in the shuffle of all the other applications & chunked in the trash or shredder like many do. Restaurants get tons of applications so unless they're desperate for help or you stand out somehow, half of them get tossed without even being looked at

And what exactly are you basing that off of? Careful not to offend the gamer community. That could turn out badly for you.
