Most fastfood set a hiring day, one day a week.

Fast food does this often. They aren’t necessarily applying for a job at this Burger King, but for any in the area. Often times multiple stores will need to do some hiring so they have applicants all come in on one day and typically interview same day as well. I’ve done it before in high school. Not fun.

I did one of these for Radioshack over a decade ago; it was like 30 people in a room, and one by one we'd be called into the back for an in person interview. While we were waiting someone high in the chain, like the regional manager or something, was in the main room doing these icebreakers with people like asking what your hobby/favorite movie was.

One lady said she like to sing so he asked her to sing, and it was bad, I guess something showed on my face because he points to me and said "Simon Cowell", I'm confused and after a bit of back and forth it turns out he wants me to critique her singing like I was Simon Cowell.

I froze up because I couldn't believe he was asking me to dunk on this random gal who is probably mortified that she got asked to sing in front a group of strangers during what was supposed to be a job interview. So I pretended I had no idea who Simon Cowell was.

Then when I was in the back doing the actual interview he stuck his head in, looked at me, shook his head, and left.

In retrospect, not getting the job for refusing to dunk on some random lady was probably a good thing in the long run, as I can't imagine what working for them would have been like.
