Was there even an interview?

       Working in this industry you are exposed to every type of human, all with different backgrounds and amounts of baggage. Because of this the interviewing process is critical. You always want to hire a good fit for the team. Unfortunately there are times of desperation and lack of a decent labor pool that you just take what you can get. That's when things get interesting and sometimes down right frightening.
         I get to work ready to concur the shift. I get into the office and there is a note from one of the other managers saying that a new hire was coming in this afternoon to be a server. I printed out all the appropriate forms need to get the new hire started and hoping that me being organized would make a good impression on this person. The bartender came to the office and said that the new hire was here and seated in a booth at the bar. I snatched up the paper and went to meet who we will call Alice. Alice was a strange looking bird, not quite proportional, something just not RIGHT. I greeted her with a smile and a hand shake and said welcome to the team. I place the orientation package in front of the girl. She looked up at me and with a cold stare said she had something to tell me. For God sake what could she possible have to tell me after being employed for only ten minutes? I said whats up, Alice said, I have a dead baby in me and there isn't a doctor in Virginia that will take it out. My first thought was that i was being punked then the moment turned awkward when i realized that she was serious. I fumbled an apology then excused myself for just a minute. Thinking I should  lock the door behind me, I got in the office and went for the phone to call the hiring manager. When she answered the phone all I could ask "was there even an interview.Alice worked for us about two months, she never had the needed surgery nor did I ever schedule her for any closing shift with me.
