I was called in for an interview over the phone. I went to the restaurant I thought I was supposed to be at. Told them I was there for my interview and got hired on the spot. Realized after the interview that it wasn’t even the location I applied to.

It’s the same company but a different location.
Should I pretend it never happened and try to go to work as normal? Or should I risk admitting my mistake and potentially losing the job due to negligence?
Here are what netizens think:
- What do you mean the wrong restaurant? Like it’s a chain and you went to the wrong location?
- Yea just take the job don’t bother saying anything. The other place probably though you no-showed and this place probably just took you as a walk in interview because every place is desperate for staff. Show up, get your offer in writing, and good luck at the new job.
- As someone that used to work for a restaurant with a sister location nearby, this used to happen a loooooot. I never thought it was that big of a deal and I was a hiring manager there for years.
- Congratulations! There’s no negligence here. You turned up, interviewed (or at least confirmed your name and that you want a job) and you were hired. It’s your job, if you want it. Enjoy!
- I really want to try this. Just show up at a place you want to work and tell them you are there for the interview.
