When giving my application I was Prompted to call a 1800 number to complete, it asked a few simple questions like what would you do if you seen a fellow employee stealing. After you finish if you will receive a conformation number if you qualify for the job. I had several different managers before and usually they were all very nice, but this waffle house in Mcdonough was awesome. The manager sat with me talked for a about 15 minutes asked some questions, then introduced me to his other staff. It made me feel welcome to this new restaurant.
