Complaint Review: Burger Creations Emmanuel

Yes you're goddamned right I fell asleep on the way over there. I was up late the night prior and up early the next morning helping my Autistic son with his lessons. He's also VERY hyper active and I'm not like other parents I refuse to pump him full of dimetapp or theraflu just to get him to go to sleep. Like I said in my previous post I'm an adult and I handle my business on my own.

My son needs to review what he learns in Speech Therapy because I don't know about you but people tend to frown on a child who's four and is unable to speak. I don't ask anybody for sh*t, if I have to be up late with this kid helping him out then thats what I'm going to do.

Anything you've had to say was either sarcastic or just plain negative, maybe you need to get laid or get a hobby hell kill 2 birds with one stone and do both. You seem to be hung up on the fact that I fell asleep on the train like I said previously when I got off and called the man I WASN'T LATE.

Anywhoo, I know after I post this you're going to tell me that this is yet another excuse since according to you I'm a "excuse machine". I never knew that taking care of one's special needs child was an excuse...one has to wonder if you even know the meaning of the word.

"Secondly since we're getting technical it's a 20 min walk to the bus stop, 30 min ride to the train station and an hour and a half train ride to the destination."

You're right, now it's completely understandable that you would fall asleep on your way to a job interview... You had to stay awake for almost 2 whole hours!

You're little more than excuse machine...

You fell asleep on the way to the interview?
You didnt take the time to google map the location?
In this age with the economy so bad and jobs so hard to come by , this should be a learning lesson for you. Take your next interview more seriously.

Thank you brownsong for seeing the 1st portion of what I was trying to say. As far as appearances I do believe that it plays a strong part in you getting offered a job. That day I showed up looking damned good, I had on my little three piece suit from H&M with some borrowed but highly presentable stilletos :)

My hair was up to par, my breath was minty! So I'm most certain that wasn't one of the reasons lol. I remember seeing in a previous post someone said something like " you couldn't stay awake fro a 10 min train ride" first off I don't remember telling anyone where I lived so how would you know if the place is 10 mins away or not?

Secondly since we're getting technical it's a 20 min walk to the bus stop, 30 min ride to the train station and an hour and a half train ride to the destination. So it doesnt take 10 mins to get from Queens to Manhattan  smart a*s this guy is obviously not a New Yorker. You can't even make it in 10 mins by car, you'd have to sprout wings and fly. But thank you again brownsong it's people like you that make the world go round :)

I don't understand why so many aren't getting it. It is obvious that the guy gave you the wrong directions and that is why you were late.

But anyway, I feel compelled to tell you what happened in my beauty shop one day last year. A Black woman came in and asked if their were any jobs. I am white, but race really had nothing to do with any of this, I am just telling you because race is a big part of this thread. Well, this woman was wearing stained, holy sweats and her unkempt hair was pulled back in a small pony tail at her neck. She wore no makeup and her baggy t shirt didn't match her pants. In other words, she didn't look like a hair dresser at all. She dragged a kid along too. Well a customer had recently told me that if I knew of anyone who needed a maid job to let him know because he needed one at the hotel nearby. So I kindly said to her "No, I have no positions open, but I know where they are hiring for maids" and she looks very shocked and insulted. She replied " I do hair. I was looking for a hair stylist job" I was mortified and embarrassed. But this goes to show that appearance does count alot towards first impressions. She should have worn better clothes, done her hair, put a bit of makeup on(after all, this is a beauty shop). I don't know what you look like, but it doesn't matter, as long as you are clean, your hair and makeup are done and you wear nice clothes and dab a little perfume on, even an ugly person isn't really ugly anymore. The main thing is to show that you take pride in your appearance.

Anyway, I am glad that you got a job. Good luck in the future.

It is mostly about appearance.

"Why would you tell a white person that your hiring and then 10 mins later a black person walks in and asks the same question and you tell him that your not hiring for another 2 months???"

I may tell someone that I am hiring but, then someone walks in and is dirty, smells, or just doesn't comb their hair, sometimes the clothes they wear are offensive, then I tell them the same thing "not hiring".  If I said "you smell bad" or "you're dirty" it would start conflict.  I would prefer to avoid conflict and therefore "I'm not hiring" or "I have already filled the position" is the easy way out.

First I'll apologize to Stacey b/c it wasn't her who made that comment that I mentioned there was some confusion between her and some other Female named Ashley I'll still post the link. In reference to the two previous posts like I've stated so many times I'm not out to screw up anyone's reputation just because I didn't get the job.

If I'm TRYING to play the victim Stacey then about six other people are doing the same thing according to the corporate office this is the sixth time someone has made this claim against this individual in the past month. This will be the SECOND time that the corporate office had to step in behind his questionable interviewing/hiring methods. I'm up here telling my story, and bringing what happened to other peoples attention that is all. You guys are trying to make it seem like oh here's this honest individual doing his job and then here I come the "bad guy" trying to make his life a living hell NO thats not the case.

As far as me getting a job I have one two actually, and I'm doing this in order to make sure that this guy gets what he deserves. If he was such a good guy employees wouldn't be telling the people at corporate that they've witnessed him ripping up peoples applications and resumes minutes after interviewing them. I will continue to defend myself because I know that I'm not doing anything wrong.

You guys can continue to jump on me if you want I know what i know.

First of all, I did read the entire report and your explanation of said report, not once,  but twice.

When you talk to their corporate I hope you do give them the link to this report.  Because once you do it will show how(I am sorry to say) naive you actually are.

It will also show to them that there is no racism or discrimination.  Unfortunately because of people like you who seem to scream racism at the drop of a hat.  They may decide it is simpler to agree with you and (I hope not) pay you some settlement making you think you are right.  When it is really just to get you to go away.

As for the comment you are claiming that Stacey made.  Please post the link to that report for all to see.  Because if it was said at all you probably took it out of context.

Try again - I never stated anything of the such - The American Flag is sacred and I am the granddaughter of a German Grandfather who not only Served in WWII but PROTECTED the President - Get real

Your report is bogus, YOU are trying to play the victim and you lose -

Uh, you're shouting racism and discrimination at the top of your lungs, so of course they're going to investigate. Now, because of YOUR incompetence and general idiocy, this guy has to go through an investigation.

You don't care though, do you? Nope. You're too dumb to get that this whole d**n thing was your fault. You're a moron and this guy knew it so he didn't want to hire you. The only thing this guy is guilty of is not being skilled enough to tell you straight up that he doesn't need an employee that can't find the restaurant and can't manage to stay awake on a ten minute train ride.

Seriously. He tried to let you down easy because he didn't know any better and you can't wait to crucify him for it? I bet if told you that he didn't want to hire you because you've got the common sense of a plant, that you'd still be on here crying all the same.

You are the problem here, not the guy who didn't hire you. YOU. I don't even think it would be too far off to say that people like you are one of the fundamental problems with society today. Your shortcomings are your problem. Quit pushing them onto everyone else's plate. No wonder you're having so much trouble nailing a job washing dishes.

I imagine this is wasted breath though, you'll likely never understand.

If  they felt that I had no case and it was ALL ON ME PERIOD as you claim, they wouldnt bother investigating my claim. They wouldn't be contacting me for PRECISE details and I wouldnt give them the link to my report would I?

They wouldn't be apologizing to me about the situation if they had nothing to apoligize for would they?? They certainly did not feel like I was playing a "race card" as you all have so ignorantly stated. I'm so glad that there aren't ignorant people like stacey in corprate offices either.

Stacey I've read one of your rebuttals to another individuals report stating something like "so what if a employee from mcdonalds was dragging the american flag on the floor." It's pretty obvious to me that you don't care about anything and that you really dont have any business posting any rebuttals on this site smh.

Anyway, my point is this matter is now being investigated and thats all that I was looking to happen. God bless America and Ripoffreport.com!

-Thank you all for your awkward and unhelpful inputs-

This is all on you period - Grow up, get rid of the race card crap and go on with your life - YOUR report says nothing that even deems a second look that the man was racist - that is YOUR assumption

I didn't put this story up here to gain anybody's sympathy or cry about how I didn't get a job because I "made myself late". I wrote it shed light on to whats going on at that store. Obviously you did not read my update where I very clearly explained every aspect of what I've written in this report.

If all you can get out of it is "I came to this site to write this ridculous story" then later for you is all I can say. I probably would have doubted myself if everyone had the same reaction as you but no MANY people are in agreement that something funny is going on at that store.

Dont claim to be a  Equal Opportunity Employer when you know that you are not thats the reason why I wrote this report to expose them as frauds. Why would you tell a white person that your hiring and then 10 mins later a black person walks in and asks the same question and you tell him that your not hiring for another 2 months??? No one has answered this question so far, like i said REEEEEEEAD people REEEEEEAD.

   OK, I read your original report very carefully.  The fact that you think that fiasco should have resulted in a job offer is comical.  So is the fact that you would post your ridiculous story on this site and think that someone would take your side.  You are clueless.

   If I were you, I'd consider the life of crime.  It's self-employment, so you won't have to worry about impressing anyone with your interviewing "skills".

Please read the report before you pass judgment. Obviously you and these three other individuals must've just skimmed through it. I would NEVER blame my being tardy to an interview or anywhere else on someone else, come on im 24 yrs old if I'm late on the account of my own actions then I'll own up to it.

As I explained in my report the man told me to get off at a certain stop  (8th Ave )about four times. Counting the day he originally called me for the interview, and I repeated it to him and he confirmed that yes that is the stop I had to get off at. And yes I admit that I did fall asleep on the train and yes I did get off at the wrong stop but I called him and and told him that I was on my way and gotten off at the wrong stop.

He told me to CONTINUE in that direction and told me ONCE AGAIN to get off at that stop. At that point and time I wasn't late I wasn't late until Iwent  all the way to the stop that HE directed me to. So there for I was late due to his guess work, for example if you had to be at my house by 4pm ad i told you to exit the highway at 8th ave and you call me and say yea i got off at 8th ave so where do i go from here? and my response is pretty much OOPS!! I meant 8th st are you not going to be late now because of my miscommunication to you??

As far as my bringing my resume the man TOLD me to bring it. I didnt just bring it on a whim, and to my reference everyone being asian when I got off the train it was b/c I know that this particular neighborhood is NOT mainly asian, and there wasnt a single sign in english, obviously I was not in the correct part of town.

It wasnt till then the man told me that he meant to say 8th street! Also when I refer to the race card I've been on interviews at places that only hired hispanics,whites,indians or whatever have you. Different places use different practices so it's not a "card" to be played people actually do that, I dont know if you guys are from NYC but thats what goes down.

Thats what happened that day, I never said I would turn to a life of crime I said PEOPLE LIKE ME. There's a big difference also my friend who inquired about the opening was white the same day i sent my brother in there no less then 10 mins later and they told him that they weren't hiring for another 2 months please try to explain that??

Serioiusly...

You ended up having to call them 3 times to find out where they were located.  You obviously have access to a computer.  It would be very simple to find out where they were located and look at the transit maps/schedules to figure out on your own how to get there.  Not only that you said you had a friend that goes there.  So here is a novel idea...why didn't you ask them how to get there.

Honestly I don't think there would be any employers who would hire you just based on that intitial impression that you had left with them.

With your case it got better.  You fell asleep on the train, which is 100% on YOU, got off on the wrong stop all together(5th vs 8th).  I don't even know why you called him then because the obvious thing would have been to get back on the subway and get off at the correct stop.  So eventually you show up after 5:30 instead of the 2-4pm, and want to argue with him that he made the mistake.  I would also bet that that attitude came through on the interview.  

As for your Resume, it does not guarantee a job.  In fact it can hurt you more than it helps.  Especially if you show this same lack of professionalism on the Resume that you appear to show in just trying to get to the interview.

Also, during your trip you mentioned when you got off on one stop almost everyone was Asian.  What in the world does that have to do with anything.  The answer is NOTHING, other than showing that there may in fact be racisim..but with YOU.

Honestly the "we found someone else" is usually "code" for nothing more than you were not who they were looking for but they don't want to hurt your feelings.

You blame the E train because you fell asleep and were late?  The man does not want to hire someone that is late for an interview (first impression) and he's a racist?

As far as being ugly, I would not want to hire anyone ugly either.  Puts people off their food.  Grow up! put the race card away, no one is listening. 

You admitted you fell asleep on the train and screwed up - So you get to said appointment very late and are lucky you even got the interview

Where in this report does it say that the man is a racist?? You are the one who pointed out that the people at the station were Asian - what does that have to do with the report?

Not many people take a resume to restaurant interview unless they are interviewing for a management position ( I have waited tables while working on my 2nd degree - never took a resume with me for that interview)

"All i have to say to people like Emmanuel is I hope you're happy, when someone you know gets robbed or their house gets broken into or their car gets stolen its because of people like you. People like you who turn decent people like me down for jobs and then their forced to turn to a life of crime in order to feed themselves or their families."

So since you did not get the job you are going to start a life of crime?? How nice - Great attitude -

How can you go to a job interview if you don't know where the place is? You don't ask the guy looking to hire you over and over and over how to get there, it makes you look like an idiot.

Also, put the race card away, it's embarrassing. You play the card when there's actual racism, not when you're not even sure. The fact is, you blew it on this one. 

If you were looking for me to hire you and you couldn't get here after I'd provided you with an address, then I wouldn't hire you. It's that simple. Heck, I wouldn't trust you to wax my car.

Google it! Map quest! GPS! Ask a friend! Geez.

Going forward, remember to get directions on your own. Never ever keep calling your potential new employer for directions. If you don't know where it is, leave early to avoid complications or even better, make it a point to go by the place a few days before the interview so you know how to get there.

Use your head next time and you'll land the job!
