A 15-year-old kid walked into a Target in Raleigh, North Carolina last Wednesday, and asked where the clip-on ties were. He said he needed one so he’d look good for his first job interview at a nearby Chick-fil-A.
The employee he talked to was a woman named Cathy Scott . . . she told him they don’t SELL clip-on ties. But instead of letting him walk out empty-handed, she asked a co-worker named Dennis Roberts if he knew how to tie a REAL tie.
So Dennis took the kid aside and taught him how to tie a tie . . . right there in the store.
Cathy and Dennis also gave him some pointers . . . like to make sure he looked the interviewer in the eye, and to give him a firm handshake. Then they went to Chick-fil-A the next day to see if he GOT the job.
The manager said he’s still interviewing people, but he knew who they were talking about. It’s not clear if their visit made a difference, but the guy said he’s planning to bring the kid in for a second interview later this week.
Meanwhile, another customer saw Dennis teaching the kid how to tie the tie, and took a picture . . . and now the photo of it is all over Facebook.
