| I have a question for you sir: |
| What is it like to work at Hot Topic? |
| Every minimum wage job that I have ever had I hated not only that it was minimum wage but I hated the management |
| even more. I have never had an opportunity to know any one who works at this retail establishment until 5 minutes |
| ago I saw on your profile that it says you work there. So you will do for my questions. |
| Does Hot Topic pay more than minimum wage or no? |
| Does Hot Topic make you push certain products even if you don't want to? |
| Does Hot Topic only hire you if you wear their clothes? |
| Does Hot Topic terminate you if you don't wear only their clothes? |
| Do you have to look like one of the following to be hired: emo, scene, punk, goth? Maybe that's why they never |
| called me back after they interviewed me? |
| You don't have to respond to these questions if you don't want to. I wouldn't respond to these questions if I were |
| you without using an IP anonymizer and a fake account if I was you. You don't think that they are watching your |
| every move online on social networking sites, they are always watching you. There was an employee at FedEx who I had |
| a problem with whose name I will not tell you, and I was messaging him on Facebook, and the next day all of my |
| supervisers were all over me and told me they have evidence of what I'm doing and told me if I don't stop talking to |
| him on Facebook they will call the cops in addition to terminating me. They are always watching you. They know |
| everything. They can read your personal messages too. They have hacking tools. |
| HT pays minimum wage at first, but after a while you can get a raise. |
| What do you mean "push certain products"? |
| They hire anybody who they think is knowledgable enough about the stuff they sell TO work there. All I owned from HT |
| when I got hired were two pairs of jeans. |
| I'm not emo, scene, punk, or goth. Let alone I do have a pierced nose and stretched ears, your looks don't matter. |
| By "push products", I mean the company tells you the sales associate that you should really focus on encouraging |
| customers to buy a particular product. I don't know if HT does that. I only know that Toys R Us and McDonalds do |
| that bc I worked there but I have never worked at HT before. |
| Well when they interviewed me they never had me take any kind of test on product knowledge. So is how knowledgeable |
| you are about their products do they determine that by how you are dressed? |
| Well so "it DOES help though", that basically means they won't hire you if you don't dress like that. |
| So my suspicions were correct. I thought that HotTopic was a misunderstood company, but now that you confessed this |
| Perhaps you can understand my frustration at this company when I go their website, copy and paste the name of the |
| product of the jeans into Ebay's search engine using multiple combinations of key words by trial and error untill I |
| find the desired equivalent product of jeans, and I find an identical product of jeans for only $20 compared to $65 |
| I for one am not going to spend $65 for a pair of jeans, and I don't know what drugs people are on who buy $65 |
| So I guess that I ****ed up if I wore a tie, dress shirt, dress pants, and dress pants to the Hot Topic interview |
| and that's why they didn't call me back because I didn't show product knowledge because I wasn't wearing the |
| fashions that their company depicts (emo, scene, goth, punk). |
| Now I see that product knowledge is important and you don't know much just by looking at pictures you actually have |
| to wear it or you won't get it. |
| So its no different than a job for a truck driver requiring that you have a CDL. Its not discrimination, its just |
| that I was not qualified because I did not demonstrate product knowledge. |
| That is legal, so I think they should have said that on the application to make it fair. |
| I wouldn't have a problem if they would have said that on the application. |
| However, I still am pissed off by how outrageously expensive their clothes are. |
| I think that they are trying to be a monopoly on clothes for emo/scene/goth/punk, and I don't like monopolies. |
| There is Ebay, but most of the Ebay sellers are idiots and don't know any product knowledge and have bad pictures, |
| and Hot Topic uses dynamic resizable pictures with dynamic menus to select the different fashions ("Skinny", "Super |
| Skinny", "Stretch") and they even have video clips for each product and Ebay doesn't use Java because Ebay sucks too |
| bad. Ebay is from the mid 90s that predates Java. So Ebay is basic HTML. |
| Dude, I just work there. No need to vent to me about how much you hate the store, I could care less. |
| yeah i know its not your fault it just a job like I hated working at McDonalds but I needed the money. |

| ok i won't vent about the store to you anymore.">Interview with a HotTopic employee |

| UG Community @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com - The Definition of a Scene Kid |
| | url | /url |
| | http://www.ultimate-guitar.com | |
| Guitar community and forums at ultimate-guitar.com website |
| that was the most pointless shit i have ever seen.. |
| perhaps you can help me update my definitions since you actually claim to be emo and all of my definitions are based |
| on things that I have observed and what OTHER PEOPLE WHO AREN'T EMO have said about emos and emo Facebook pages, |
| which Facebook pages are inherently prone to ignorance. |
| It depends on who you talk to. Im NOT a seen kid. |
| | censored |
| I never called you anything. | told me you call yourself emo. |
| did you read my whole post at that link? |
| | ber name |
| The deffination of an emo is " | " |
| how would you define an emo to someone who is not an emo, without using yourself as the definition? |
| The stereotype for a kid(13-19) who has a lower tolerance for sad emotions, and feels inadiquet of their own |
| personal worth(feels like they arent good enough). Many emos feel so depressed that they resort to cutting to |
| themselves. Emo boys often weird girls pants and dye their hair black, with a pyrimid spiked belt, and tight tee |
| shirts(usualy black). It is known that emos have a kind of rule that 2/5 of their face must be covered by hair, |
| although it is actualy a subconscious feeling of wanting to cover up their sadness(eyes). |
| then my definition of emo fashion for guys is correct. |
| then my defintion of emo personality is not correct, according to you, but I disagree with you and like my |
| Someone can be depressed and not be emo. Who isn't ever depressed? |
| its a personallity and life choice. So no you dont have to be emo just cuz ur depressed |
| being depressed doesn't make you emo. |
| you did in the message sent at 10:05 PM. |
| "Many emos feel so depressed..." |
| "...EMOS FEEL...DEPRESSED..." |
| yeah its an emotion that makes us resort to cutting themselves. everyone gets drpressed |
| therefore, anyone can cut him or her self and that doesn't make him or her emo. |
| again. personallity choice |
| yes, emo is a personality, it has nothing to do with cutting or being depressed. |
| corelation is not causation. |
| just because many emos are depressed, does not mean that cause of the depression is being emo. |
| just because ice cream sales increase in New Jersey in the summer months at the same time that shark attacks |
| increase, that does not mean that the cause of the shark attacks is ice cream sales. |
| the depression and lack off attention to it makes people emo IF they choose to be that way. |
| yeah, well we were talking about the personality, not the fashion; and the emo fashion for girls was what was in |
| question when I saw your photos and thought you were dressing like a guy in scene fashion. |
| you asked what the deffinition of an emo was n i gave it to you. |
| and there are a lot of emo girl fashions this just happends to be mine. Beenies, tights shirts/band tees, tight |
| skinney jeans, skater shoes/high tops. |
| so you invented your own emo fashion unique to yourself? |
| so people can dress fashions and call them emo if they want to, but there is a predetermined emo fashion that is |
| universally known composed of fashions that people have invented that are collectively known as emo fashions. |
| thanks for enlightening me. |
| it was nice talking to you. |
| wish i could say the same... your waaay to damn stubborn |
| | censored |
| i'm less stubborn than | . |
| what do you mean that he is lucky? |
| cuz he didnt have to go through this n get called a crossdresser.. you dont know me but you judge me anyway. thats |
| | censored |
| i never even called you a crossdresser. I asked | if you were, and it appears that he told you. |
| well I'm sorry if me asking him that offended you. |

| | | So I have guitar with a hardtail bridge, strat style (minus the trem), and my strings keep breaking at the saddle, most frequently the A string. I recently changed to String Saver saddles to try and fix this, but alas, two weeks after putting them on and new strings, the A string has broken again. |
| I use D'addario 10s, my action is as low as possible without excessive buzz, and my next appears to be straight to me. I use to use 11s and the problem was still there. What the hell do I do, I'm breaking strings every two weeks, sometimes every week, and I'm going a bit insane. |
