Job openings can bring out some strange confidence, especially when an applicant decides the best available position is already occupied.

One valet customer asks how to get the cashier’s exact shift, but when told it is unavailable, would you back off or suggest replacing her?

The conversation quickly turns from friendly hiring advice into one woman confidently planning a ridiculously-attempted coup d’état.

Oh this should be fun.

No, I will not quit so that you may take my job.

Guys, I just had a story from the zoo less than 24 hours ago. I should not have one from the valet already. And yet, here I am, because this is not the first time I’ve had this conversation.

A woman notices our sign that states we are hiring drivers. As she pays for her valet, she is chatting with me about it, mentioning how sorry she feels for the drivers that stand outside in the cold.

But, the woman had thought long and hard about these positions…

She says my job as the cashier seems so much nicer and I agree because, well, it is.

She asks what my shift is, and I tell her 7-3:30, Monday-Friday.

I let her know we have 24/7 location that needs cashiers for all shifts, and my location needs a 3:30-10 p.m. cashier Monday-Friday.

She asks for an application, which I gladly give her.

This is where it goes downhill.

The woman has an odd request.

Once the application is in her hand, she suddenly looks very smug.

“Can I mail this back instead of bringing it here?” She asks.

Unusual, but OK, I write down the address and hand it to her.

But this is where things get really strange.

She snatches it out of my hand, scratching me with her nails. She offers no apology, but instead I get a suddenly nasty tone.

“So. How do I get YOUR job?”

I blink at her and explain what my shift is, and then explain the available shifts again. I get about halfway through before she interrupts me.

“Yeah, yeah, I heard you but I want YOUR job. I want that shift. How do I get it?”

So, the cashier replies back honestly.

“Well, ma’am, I don’t plan on quitting any time soon. I really need this job, so getting my exact shift wouldn’t really-”

“You could just go work outside with the rest of them. You’re young. They would make you go out there. How do I get your job!”

I sigh, and point to the boxes on the application where she can mark her preferred shift and position.

And the customer? Strangely mean after all the help…

“Have fun out there in the cold!” She cackles as she walks off.

I smile at my good fortune, as the only mailing address we have is for corporate, so that is what I gave her.

Corporate passes applications along to managers solely on the east side of the city, and my location is the only one on the west side, and we do our own hiring, which I would have explained to her if she hadn’t turned into the wicked witch.

Ah well.

Does Reddit think this woman’s behavior is odd? Let’s read the comments below to learn what the readers think.

One user reminded everyone that’s not how jobs typically work.

Another had a great response for the cashier to use next time.

Someone else recommended the OP come prepared with a stamper next time.

And finally, another Redditor had a brilliant comeback.

The cashier happily offered an application until the woman made it clear she wanted her exact job and daytime schedule.

After suggesting the younger employee should simply work outside instead, she mailed the application to the corporate address she had requested.

Redditors were mostly baffled by the entitlement, while the cashier quietly enjoyed knowing corporate would route the application somewhere else entirely.

She tried calling dibs on someone else’s job and accidentally applied for a location across town instead.
