My daughter applied for a job at the Columbiana SC mall store. The manager kept blowing her off, saying she'd call. We were in there and the manager was there. Rather than be honest and tell her that there weren't any positions or she wasn't going to hire her, she kept pretending she was busy. Busy being getting a shoulder rub from one of her employees! I've been a retail manager and know what she was doing. My daughter found a better job elsewhere and Hot Topic lost two regular customers.
