Pretty sure Bats worked at BK for like 35 years.

There's always straight up lying. You could say you had personality conflicts with the local BK management. You complained to higher ups to no avail, they cracked down on the rules with you more than others, despite others breaking the rules too, etc.

The problem with all this is the chance they'd call BK and find out for themselves.

What did you do again? You smoked inside the building? You could just straight up own it, and tell them you were having problems in your personal life at the time and morale at BK was horrible. You recognize what you did was wrong and they'd never have to worry about somethig like that happening again.

YMMV.

Who wants a boss who can recognize bull****? Give me dumb, apathetic, or a fellow bull****ter please.

Thats a big gap. Tell em you have an OF and just need to take a break.

Plankton · 08-24-2022, 03:30 PM

For a dumb apathetic bull**** job, sure thats a great recipe for success.

I might be a little naive, but I suspect that getting fired from BK for smoking a cigarette isn't going to be a deal breaker.

But it was IN THE KITCHEN

It was at the back window which is at the end of a corridor well away from the kitchen. Most of the time nobody even noticed.

I sometimes interview / hire.

I would assume it wasn't the smoking in itself, but rather how one acted in an ensuing conflict after being confronted about smoking. That's not good.

If it comes up, SGR's suggestion to own up to it seems best to me. At least it indicates growth and might somewhat abate fears that something similar will happen again in a new job.
