why is the Denny's job application asking me these things

Question 3: Will you lie to your supervisor/manager?

Question 4: Can you handle frustrating situations without getting violent?

Question 25: The same as question 4, but asked in a different way to try and trip you up.

Rule #1 ALWAYS answer these questions as Strongly Agree or Strongly Disagree. These are typically graded by an automated system that does not recognize nuance.

Rule #2 Always think of the questions being asked as being from the perspective of a manager who wants the perfect employee that never does anything wrong. They don't look at these questionnaires and are not going to bring them up later like "You lied? On the questionnaire you said you NEVER lie". These are pass/fail and they are used to weed out applicants and will probably never be seen by human eyes.

Rule #3 Lie. They always give you a spiel in the beginning like "please answer all questions truthfully" and that is a TRAP. Do NOT.

❗❗ Remember, these rules only apply to the Denny's application!

If you are applying to Waffle House, the correct answer to #4 and #25 are actually reversed!
