I applied online. I interviewed at Maggiano's (Washington, DC) in Oct 2021
Interview
I interviewed with "O.T." (?). Very rushed and did not care about my qualifications, only availability. Might have been racist. Called me by the wrong name as if it was not on the paper in front of him. Asked intrusive questions about why I was leaving my current job. While I waited 30 mins to be interviewed, I heard him get a bit rude with customer on the phone, and from his end of the call, I could tell it was a minor issue that I would have handled much better had I been the host.
