I simply don't believe the story. Either she just completely made it up, or she really didn't hear the conversation between man who allegedly walked in and asked. Also, I'm sure businesses like this will give anyone who asks a job application. Why not? The senior manager probably has to approve anyway, and he'll have to come in for an interview. It's no skin off the counter-clerk's nose to hand anyone who asks for an application the form. Plus, it's not like you can't go to their website and apply for a job there!
