The coffee shop as interview room

I AM becoming increasingly annoyed at a disturbing trend occurring whenever I visit my local coffee establishment – the job interview taking place at the next table.

During my last few visits to various coffee houses, and even one well-known hotel, I have found myself sitting at a table where a person at the adjacent table was being interviewed for a job. In a couple of instances, they were obviously having a series of interviews, one after the other.
