This week, Jen and Paul head to Victoria, BC to “roast” a barista posting from a mega-brand that actually knows how to write: clear role fit, community vibe, and benefits that are almost suspiciously strong (yes, even for part-time). But then the real questions hit: what does “reasonable accommodation” mean in a physically demanding, high-chaos service job? Why don’t they spell out lifting/standing realities? And what happens when “no experience required” meets a menu built for maximum customization... and customers having a bad day? If you’re applying, you’ll learn what to look for between the lines. If you’re hiring, you’ll learn how to communicate values by showing your policies, not just reciting slogans.
