JC Penney

I am a little put off by JC Penney right now.

I went there yesterday because I am in need of a job and there was a posting on-line saying the one in LaGrange was hiring.
I'm not going to lie, I felt like I was a shoe in for the job. With eight years of retail experience under my belt and flawless bull-shitting capabilities I felt I was a perfect fit.
So, I get there and inquire about the positions and they direct me to there service kiosk where I am subjected to a 40 minute, ridiculously long application process.
Despite it's extreme length and the idiocy of the questions I felt like I was nailing it.

There I am, 40 minutes deep in the process and just about complete and I am asked to answer some questions about the job. I answer about 20 questions and this screen pops up and tells me, the perfect applicant for this position, that based on the answers to my questions, I am not what JC Penney is looking for at this time.

I am fairly offended at this point in time. After how long I spent filling out this application to have a computer tell me I don't qualify. I didn't even get to talk to a person and charm them over with my suave. And what really gets me is I'm not allowed to apply for another job at JC Penney for 180 days. For real?

When did getting a shitty job become so serious?
