Maybe he got a better offer than your company, TV. Maybe another interview situation "broke through" to a better opportunity.

This is so funny I'm nearly speechless. You're always good for a hell of a laugh but I can't say anything more or I'll get booted off the forum.

I doubt you scared him in the sense that you seem to think you did.

Maybe sacred him in that he was thinking the inmates were running the asylum.

I know if I run into him anytime soon I will bust out laughing and say-"tell me what's really going on?'

My guess is that he'll have you arrested for stalking.

Frankly in your line of work, turnover is high and jobs are plentiful. I would have quit too.

Very surprising since he was in his 50's and how it is to get a job today.

I really hope what I told him didn't run away like a wimp. Maybe he needs a low stress environment like Target.
Nice insult to people working in retail.

I think you're jealous.

Oh puhlease, you've read enough to know his "people" skills are nigh near non existent - he wouldn't last a split second in retail (especially dealing with female customers)

The fact he thinks retail is "low stress" says it all.
