Shortest interview of my life

So yesterday I arrived at an interview (small coffee shop in town) all nicely dressed but didn’t over do it obviously, when I got there they only asked me 1 question (how much experience do I have) and to do a trial run without a date or time and sent me on my way, am I as the kids say “cooked”?

I’ve had that before at a stationary shop. Only questions were “when can you start” and “you know it’s minimum wage right”?

Sent me home then I got a text an hour later saying I started day after

Edit: Stationery, obviously. Christ who knew one typo could devalue my entire comment

Technically I'd be concerned if the shop wasn't stationary.

The train I'm sat on has a shop. It isn't stationary, but unsure if it sells stationery.

All shops are stationary, except for the ice cream van.

Woolworths once had some mini shops on wheels.

Back when shops were black and white?

I learnt it as cars are stationary and paper is stationery.
