'One of the more humiliating staples of the Minimum Wage Job Search ritual': People ponder tricky interview questions for entry level jobs

For most of us, the entry-level job has been a necessary evil. Nobody wants to hire somebody for something better unless they have experience (or some excellent nepotistic connections that most of us aren't blessed with). Unfortunately, employers are aware of this and often enjoy making the whole process as demeaning as possible. What convoluted questions can they come up with to confuse the nervous sixteen-year-old they have sat in a dusty stockroom with a bored line manager? The possibilities are endless.

One classic curveball has always been "Why do you want to work for this specific company for your precious $7.25 an hour?". When one Twitter user's younger sibling faced this in an interview with McDonald's, they took to the platform to complain about it. A few people had some genuinely useful answers, and others continued to bemoan the annoying question. As if the whole process wasn't painful enough.
