Stunned teen is asked excruciating ‘Would you rather’ question in interview for job at TGI Friday's

A teenager was stunned to be asked: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex, or join in?” at a TGI Friday’s job interview.

The 18-year-old – who does not want to be named – had already had a successful phone interview for the part-time job at the American-style diner.

But he was shocked when a member of staff sat him down for an informal assessment and asked: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex for a year, or join in just for the start?”

The nervous teen was not able to answer before he was further asked: “Would you rather sh*t a brick, or cry glass?”

After the worker followed up with, “Would you rather eat chocolate flavoured sh*t or sh*t flavoured chocolate,” the teen stormed out of the eatery in Derby city centre in disgust.

The teenager, of Chellaston, Derby, said: “It was a quick and open interview in the restaurant which is what I had been told would happen.

“I’d already had a successful phone interview and I was really looking forward to this.

“I was quite excited but also a little nervous. It was a company I had heard good things about and I thought this job would suit me.

“The first question I was asked was whether I would rather watch my parents have sex for a year or join in just for the start. I was absolutely gobsmacked.

“This was followed up with whether I would rather sh*t a brick or cry glass.

“Before I’d had chance to respond I was asked whether I would rather eat chocolate flavoured sh*t or sh*t flavoured chocolate.

“He seemed to think I would find it funny and join in. I thought it was disgusting, sick and pathetic. I left the interview at that point.”

TGI Friday’s said: “Fridays offers an industry-leading recruitment process, and this incident fell severely below our high standards.

“The questions posed during the interview with the candidate are absolutely not part of TGI Friday’s interview process and we were very disappointed to learn of this incident.

“Immediate action was taken, with the person involved suspended.

“We have apologised to the candidate for the experience and offered them the opportunity to re-interview with us, which we hope they will take up.”

The American restaurant chain’s mainfesto on its website reads: “Simply put if we all live by the principals of our manifesto, not only are we true Fridays people, we are also pretty amazing human beings.

“The manifesto words were written from the heart of one of our team, who aspires to behave in this way every day at home and at work.”
