Hi guys,

I'm currently 16 years old, and i've been trying to find a job over the summer to make money and gain experience but have had no luck so far. Recently, a Dunkin' Donuts store near me has had a "Now Hiring" sign at their door that says that they're hiring bakers, sandwich makers, and cashiers. I was interested in applying to be a cashier, so I went in last Saturday and asked to speak to the manager about applying. The person who was working there said that the manager wasn't there, but she told me that i'd have to apply online first and then come in to talk to the manager. Later that day, I applied on their website, and I decided to give the manager a few days before I go back. I went back yesterday (6 days after applying online) and asked to see the manager (different employee this time), and the person working took my name and phone number and said that the manager wasn't there but would be there tomorrow until 12pm. Because of this, I waited until today, and I just went in less than an hour ago (around 11:45am) to ask to speak to the manager about applying. The person working (same one who spoke to me yesterday) went in the back and came back and told me that the manager said that she was "busy" and that I should call them this Monday sometime between 2pm and 4pm. After that, I just thanked the employee who was helping me and left. 

Does anybody else think this is just an excuse that the manager made up so that she doesn't have to speak to me? I feel like, if the manager really did want to interview me, she would have called me already or came out to talk to me when I was at the store, and the whole "she is busy" thing sounds like an excuse. At this point, I feel like I should just not call about the job on Monday and that I should just look elsewhere, but I would just like to get some outside opinions on what other people think about this.

Applied for Dunkin' Donuts last week online, and I tried speaking to the manager in person today but was just told that "she is busy" and that I should call on Monday from 2-4pm. I feel like it's an excuse because she's

I'm a 16 year old making $10 an hour, and I'm considering an interview for a Dunkin' Donuts store manager position after I applied online last Saturday.
