So I applied for a job at a clothing store and got rejected after the in-person interview. I feel as though I didn't show enough hospitality to the mock customer. Note: I am a trans woman who doesn't present as female in public. I had to dial back my excitedness when offering suggestions for shoes, because in this part of the country, it would seem odd for a "man" to get all excited about matching dresses with heels and handbags. I should have considered that I would be assisting shoppers with clothing decisions. Bah humbug.
But maybe I dodged a bullet. I was going in and an employee said "don't do it". What a world.
