Unfortunately this belief is all too common in supposed adults today.

From CBS in Chicago, aka The Windy City, where it all blows!
Some In Line For City Job Fair Upset There’s No Hiring On The Spot « CBS Chicago

First Ever City Job Fair Leaves Many Frustrated With Hiring Process

CHICAGO (CBS) – About 3,000 people lined up for the city’s first-ever jobs fair on Friday – some of them waiting in line for up to six hours – hoping to apply for work with the city, but many left frustrated after learning the only way to apply for a job was to go online.

WBBM Newsradio’s Bernie Tafoya reports Mayor Rahm Emanuel stopped by the job fair, expecting a warm welcome from job seekers, but instead ran into lots of ticked-off people.

More than 3,000 people showed up for the 55 posted job openings, but city hiring rules require all applications be filed online, so many of those who attended left frustrated at having to stand in line for hours, without being able to actually apply for a job.

...Rodney Booker said, “I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something.”

Now it's bad enough that this supposed adult is expecting something for just showing up. Kinda like kids playing little league football and getting a trophy for showing up. And the city city unions kept non-union Wal-Mart out for years.

As I've said to my daughter who is starting her first job at 17, "Welcome to the real world"
