*I cook some food on the stove while talking at same time* Wow! Cool cafe. I'd like to be a cook here, if you please! I'm an EXCELLENT chef! *Stove explodes* Oops. My bad. Will you still hire me anyway? I'll buy stoves for your cafe that cannot EVER, POSSIBLY, EXPLODE!

@Joe
I'm considering your application. Would you please answer these interview questions? (They can be made up if you want, or you can actually answer them. I don't care.)
1. Why do you think you should get this job?
2. How well do you work in a team? Give examples.
3. How would you respond to a problem?
4. What is the best and worst thing you have ever made?
5. Can you make most, if not all, of the menu items listed above?
(July 23, 2013 - 8:47 am)
1. I think I should get this job cause I am awesome!
2. I'm pretty good in a team. Like, one time when Dorothy Gale... *goes on fabricating false events involving Oz characters on the spot*... and I've also been very cooperative and helpful in acting classes!
3. I solve that problem as best I can. If I can't solve the problem, I declare myself an idiot until the solution throws itself in my face like a blinding sun.
4. Best thing: Great works of art. Worst thing: Why did I ever make my room messy??????
5. Yes, defintely! I recently purchased magic powers that allow me to make anything from a skilled wizard selling his magical items and spellbooks on eBay. So I can make anything that one might possibly imagine no matter how ridiculous!

Great! You are hired. Every Friday, you will get a paycheck of $10.00, starting this week.
(July 23, 2013 - 1:43 pm)
Sorry about the spacing. That is weird, because I made sure everything lined up. Oh well, I'll rewrite the menu later, and add any new food to the list.
(July 22, 2013 - 7:36 pm)
TOP!

I'd like to be a cook here! I have references, too!
Sam: Good waffles, Red.
Red: Yeah, I'm actually pretty good at cooking.
Melody said that, for the record.
Helen: *eats a bruschetta* And Red's a really good cook.
Which was said by... Melody... Wait a minute. I suspect a conspiracy.
Please hire me! Apparently, Melody thinks I'm good! (I'm still going to wait and actually hear your singing first, Melody, before I start complimenting you for that.)

1. Because I think I would make a very great chef at your resturant and because it sounds fun. And I need job experience.
2. I work very well in a team, judging by my grades on group projects (almost always 100% or very close to that). I don't slack off and let other people do the work and I don't completely dominate the project for no reason. If others are slacking off, I will take charge of the project (for instance, once half of my group didn't do anything (literally) for the project so I finished it with another group member.) and make sure that the problem gets resolved. I think I generally get along well with people.
3. Depends on the problem. Wait, are you looking for a funny phrase right here? Sorry, I don't have anything that would make sense to anyone else besides me and and a few people who aren't here. I would try to remain calm and solve the problem as best as I could.
4. Best: A really awesome cake a year ago. Worst: Dessert Ramen. Dessert Ramen. And did I mention Dessert Ramen?
5. Yes, provided I have the ingredients. By Grilled Alligator Bites, do you mean real grilled alligator? I can cupcakes! I just can't eat them.

I only remember a little bit of that, but sure. I guess he's okay at cooking. Disclaimer: I've never actually eaten any of his food. If he poisons everybody coughcoughcupcakes I am not at fault.
Also, I will have you know I am a good singer! I can sing... A lot of Beatles songs... And one song by The Script. And every Ed Sheeran song. And Hank Green. I'm really good at Steange Charm.
And of course, Disney.

Mmm, breakfast! I'll have a cup of cranberry juice and two blueberry muffins. *pays $4.75*
(July 23, 2013 - 6:58 am)
Here you go! Enjoy your meal! *hands over cranberry juice and two blueberry muffins*
(July 23, 2013 - 4:40 pm)
I'll be Dessert Quality Control Manager (taste tester).
