Charlie resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the flirtatious edge to her voice. Just because he didn't care to himself didn't mean he couldn't recognise it. At least he could now. He'd been pretty oblivious for quite a while, which had led to some uncomfortable conversations with a variety of strangers and former co-workers in Romania alike.
He considered her answer carefully, nodding in understanding. It took a lot for him to lose his temper, but when he did it was spectacular. "I'm glad you're aware of your temper. I imagine working in bars and restaurants has hardened you up to it, but I'd far prefer my staff to walk away and cool down rather than fight with customers. Or each other. Mind you as long as you don't breathe fire I can probably restrain you," he joked.
Her response to the harassment question made him smile widely. "Great. I'm glad you've read up on our policies. That's pretty close to the usual procedure. I want to create an environment where people can feel safe whether they want to find someone to take home for the night or just spend the night dancing. Lengths of bans do depend on exactly what's gone on, and our policy is to always err on the side of believing someone who complains and giving an appropriate ban rather than letting a pest go free." Charlie was very pleased with this particular policy. He had spent far too long discovering how often people didn't want to take no for an answer, and more than one occasion where someone had done something meaning he had to remove hands from more intimate parts of his person. He didn't want a space which allowed that here.
"I think that covers what I need to know. Do you have any other questions for me?"
Charlie smiled and stood, reaching out to shake her hand. The interview had been fairly short but he felt like he'd got a decent sense of her. She'd admitted to some weaknesses but seemed to know how to deal with them. The employment history he'd spotted on her CV looked promising, and he was fairly sure if she matched up to that and could actually make her drinks well she was certainly going to make the short list. Might as well send her down for Bobbi to assess.
"If I could ask you to go and get Bobbi to give you a quick assessment of your bar skills? Nothing fancy, but it'll help me out if I'm not sure who to choose. Just before you go though, one last question: what's your favourite drink? Alcoholic or not."
