Shitty deal. I hate interviews.
But dude, appearances are kind of a big deal when it comes to making a good impression. I mean employers are gonna feel better about hiring someone who's clean cut and well dressed to represent the company than someone who is not so much. Dress to impress and all that. Then once you've got the job you can rock the facial hair.

As for her being a bitch, at least if you don't get the job you don't have to work for her.

I thought I looked nice. I woke up early in the morning and took a shower. Did my hair, which I hardly ever do. I even put on some good smelling cologne. This was my first interview and I looked up a lot about it and practiced, but I guess you can never be prepared when a bitch is interviewing you. Lol

Dang, I'm sorry! I've been to an interview that went a lot like that! The man I interviewed with was a total dick.  

 Well, now you know what it would be like to work there then... Guess it's just not the right place for you. How about trying other places? If I were you I would apply to a few places at a time..

I have filled out so many applications. It's hard to even get an interview here in Michigan. our encomy is so horrible. All I can do now is wait until someone calls me back. I'm just disappointed because I have rent and bills, so I'm always broke.

dude you do gotta understand their business depends on appearances to some degree, it's company image
but all in all it's a numbers game,  
tomorrow go talk to managers of three other restaurants,
dont just ask for an app., say "i'd like to talk to your manager" that way you dont waste time and at the same time show your worthiness by demanding attention

---

I looked good, though. I just have a trimmed mustache and chin hair. :p She should of said, "I notice you don't shave completely. We like our workers to shave, so would that be a problem?" Not all men shave and I am willing to shave for this job. This isn't America's Next Top Model. It's Arby's. They wear ugly green shirts with food stained black pants.

I had an interview at Arby's today at 2 o'clock. I show up five minutes before the interview to show that I can be on time and to look good. I get there and they were busy, so I had to sit for thirty minutes. Not to mention their was a girl also waiting there to be interviewed.

She sat down and I shake her hand. She told me it was suppose to be 2:30, but she said 2:00 on the phone. She asked me to tell her a little bit about myself, which I do so. After that, the interview went down hill.

She started talking about how they like the employer's to dress. You have to wear black pants, a black belt, and "black shoes that you can polish." She said, "we also like our male employee's to shave and I noticed you haven't. What is up with that? This is an interview?" Alright, I wasn't aware that you couldn't have a mustache during an interview.

Then we talked about my previous job. I accidentally put down the wrong amount of time I worked at Shaff Steps. I think she thought I was lying to her, which I wasn't. I told her that I had to leave because the main boss died and the business closed down, which is true also. I worked with my father.

she said, "where does your father work? Can you get a job with him?" Wait, that threw me off. Why are you asking me about where my father works and if I can work with him? I didn't ask her that, but I was thinking that.

I told her that this was my first interview and I was nervous, since she was pretty much making me feel as if I was not good enough for Arby's or that I was some kind of loser. I told her that I want to work there for more work experience and to save money for college. She said, "Oh, you don't have any grants?", then gave me a dirty look. She talked more about my looks than the job. I felt very uncomfortable and judged. She had a rude comment for everyone of my replies.

  This sucks, since I need a job.

Relax, sounds like you did fine.  I understand how things might look from your poitn of view but to the interviewer you demonstrated:
Punctuality
Patience
Honesty
ability to admit to and try to correct a mistake

Those are all big pluses.

The shaving thing is because in food industry facial hair makes people less hungry.  She brought it up to see if shaving your facial hair would have been an issue for you not to judge your facial hair preference.

Call back sometime when they aren't busy (4pm maybe) and say you're very interested and if they had anymore questions.  Good luck.

Don't worry about the grant comment, in fact when you get hired ask her if she knows about any grants you might be able to apply for.

Um... according to Business Legislation it is illegal to discriminate against people like that. It is mostly based on if you are really qualified for the job, yes they want you to look professional but it isn't essential.

Employment law varies an incredible amount from state to state and you're in another country.  For example Pa is a right to work state which means you can be fired for anything that isn't a federally protected class.  I don't like the way you dress is a valid reason to terminate someone in Pa and thats the way it should be as employment is a two party contract.

The sad thing is that with fast food, it seems like anyone who lasts more than 5 months is basically put in a Supervisor/Training position, even though they may have no clue how to train or hire and absolutely no personality.  Seems like that's the case here.

1.  Do not talk about someones attire or looks.  
2.  Do not ask about someone's family.  Under no circumstances.

It sounds like the manager or hiring person at Arby's was an idiot.  No interview training, and obviously a poor manager.  I dunno, maybe you were nervous or whatnot, but I would have called her on it.  Remember, they are trying to sell YOU the position just as much as you want to be hired.  If they don't, then it will be craptastic to work there.

As I go riding merrily along.
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong.
