We know jobs are tight, and tensions are high among applicants for the few jobs available. But if police arrest you while you're applying for a job, you probably don't have a chance at the position.
The Fresno Bee is reporting that police had to use pepper spray to stop job applicants from fighting while waiting in line for their employment interviews at a grocery story. There were more than 400 people in line in Southeast Fresno Monday when five men and two women started fighting. The seven were arrested outside a WinCo foods store. That reduced the WinCo applicant pool to 393.
Police said the altercation started just before noon on a very hot Fresno day. The verbal argument quickly became a physical one and the next thing you know there was a near riot. It took 12 officers to quell the disturbance.
The arrested applicants should polish their standing-in-line skills before they move on to the more rigorous parts of finding a job.

Wow! Fresno doesn't sound like a very safe place. Of course, I hear it has been hotter than blazes there for awhile now. Heat can make tempers fly...so can the stress of having mouths to feed.
