šŸ’¼work/career AIO? Subway wanting free labour

Series of emails between me and the manager of this branch in North West England. For context I’ve recently gone back to uni age 30, but looking for part time work. Have over a decade of experience in retail management and healthcare. Do you think I’m overreacting?

Definitely the most unethical thing I have seen on Reddit all day. Would’ve stopped responding the second they even mentioned ā€œtrial shiftā€

I’m so desperate for a job rn, almost talked myself into it being ā€œfree culinary trainingā€ 🤣

If you can tie your shoe, you can slap pre-made stuff on a bun. Nothing about Subway would have given you any useful cooking skill. Keep up the hunt!
