Racist ‘Next’ – Welcome to UK !!
Today I had face-to-face interview at Next. They always ask to be punctual so I came on time 11.40am. I was asked to wait in the staff room. When I went there I was afraid not to get some disease as it was so extremely dirty. For 2 minutes I was looking for more or less clean chair coz most of them were so filthy, it looked like someone vomited on them. After 25mins waiting some midget (about 1.2m) with speech defect called me for the interview.
– I see u applied for ‘Sales Assistant’. Yes, we have few jobs for u. Did u bring 2 forms of ID?
– Yes, my ID & Driving Licence.
– She looked at it – I’m afraid we cannot accept that.
– Why not it’s European Union ID?
– Let me ask my colleague.
In 2mins some kind of Manager Assistant came & all I can hear through the door is ‘He’s Polish’.
Then he enters the office – I’m sorry we cannot accept that.
So I asked again – Why not it is a valid European identity card.
– No, we have to see your passport.
– I’m applying for British passport so I had to post it. (The only reason I’m applying for UK passport is because situations like this one are happening on daily basis. So in order to get some appropriate job u better be British).
– Ok, let me ask my Manager.
After, 5mis the midget is coming back to confirm that my ID is not valid form of ID. (The ID which I’m using every single time I fly abroad).
Then she says – As there were many applicants for the Sales Assistant position now we can offer u Stockroom position. (& I have full British University degree).
– Wow
– So I’ll ask u some Q’s from the Stockroom application.
– But I prepared myself for Sales Assistant Q’s.
– I understand. (& she carries on)
