Have I missed something with the OP's post? I thought the guy done great, what more do you want? Are we reading the same thing? :P0

Get up and go? He's not going to get up and go very far on his feet.
Unless Dairy Queen had told him to "Just like turn up whenever dude" - he doubtless had a scheduled time for his interview. Yet he turns up at the sinisterly named Art Bouvier's 'Papa Roux' asking for directions while still 6 miles away.
To which Papa replies not unreasonably "Why dont you get the bus?" Well apparently he hasnt had the foresight to even scrape a few dollars together for that so tries to walk the rest of the way. Late as hell and still not even attempting to hitch hike.
I know that pointless acts of self flagellating futility are what floats the boomers boats when validating the 'worth' of the younger generations but everything about this story is just a catalogue of ineptitude from some dumbass who probably cant tie his own shoelaces without falling over.0 -

I'm 50/50...On the one hand, he has got off his bum and gone out to get a job, good for him....On the other hand...I dunno...I just get the impression he's maybe not the sharpest tool in the box and that maybe he was wombling along in a bit of daze more than he was matching with commitment to make something of himself...He doesn't seem to have had a whole lot of idea where he was going, how to get there etc...And there are ways of finding that stuff out, even without the internet...You just need a bit of resourcefulness...0 -
Well done to the lad, a lot of the green eye renters here could learn from him. Let's give him some respect, most yoof I see just want to get drunk0

He was going for a minimum wage job, something like doing dishes and clearing tables I imagine. You don't need to be smart for that, just willing to work.0 -
