I just applied to a local smoothie shop and if I get a call back with an interview, i'm not sure what i'm suppose to wear. I've read that jeans are strongly inappropiate. But this is a smoothie shop and i don't consider it to be dressed 'professionally.' My brothers have landed a job before when they wore jeans to their interview. i'm not sure what i'm suppose to do! Please and thank you!

I work at an electronic store in Illinois for an insane boss. He exercises absolute authority over us, and despite his real government name being Dmitri Tserkov, he forces us to refer to him as Stalin. We dont know the significance of that but we can never utter his real name. He is from Europe and is a tall and muscleler guy, while most of us working for him are highschool kids. I am 17 going on 18 and this is just my second job. It would take like all of us to fight him because of how physical he is. The acts of brutality at this place is outrageous. Not only does Stalin scream at us all the time, Stalin also puts hands on us. On one occassion I was shoved by him just because I came late to work because it had snowed outside. There is a storage room in the back where Stalin does all sorts of things to us. He calls the room "Balakovo" though none of us know the significance of that either. This room is where all punishment for infractions are carried out. If you defy him or dont carry out a command, you go in the closet. Thats when he locks you in a closet in the storage room in complete darkness. You have to stand up in there because it is small, somethings you are in there for hours. Kids have come out of there and literally collapsed or layed down on the ground motionless. Another punishment is "the pole". Thats when you are tied up to a pole and you are smacked with a large ruler. During all of this, every employee must be present. And he forces us to stand in a circle around this pole while we watch the beating so that everybody knows what that it can happen to us. The other punishment is "the moscow throne" when you are tied in a chair and blindfolded, then he punches the person in the chest six times in the chest. Most of these punishments occur during the meetings or "sessions". These meetings are pure terror because people that have displeased Stalin are singled out and stood against a wall to await retribution. The worst thing Ive seen was when this boy Albert who had just got employed miscounted the register, so in a meeting he made Albert strip naked and get on both knees. Then he took the free swinging segment of his tied belt and forced it in Albert's mouth nd girated into Albert's face. In the meetings none of us can even offer advice or speak unless granted permission because Stalin claims that he is the first, second, third, and final authority on the store and that in his own words "this is not a democracy". Things got ruff when a Best Buy moved down the street. Several of my friends worked there so I saw them alot. Stalin had the nerve to tell me not to hang out with them and that he would choose our friends for us and that we were married to him and the "father" which is what he called the store. I thought this was ridiculous, and Im tired of the way he treats us. Everybody wants to do something, but all of us are afraid that the authorities would never believe us.

The toys are usually ready by Christmas and sold in the gas stations. This year's toy was a transfer truck with a helicopter. The bed of the truck would light up for the helicopter to land.

If its not can someone find me some documentation where I can confront him about it? Thank you!
