Look fuzzy, judging people for things entirely within their control is fine, that's ok prejudice. Now ripping on someone because they have buck teeth or are mexicants is bad prejudice.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
There is a section on this ap that asks if I have any special abilities or knowledge that would be useful for the job.
I am tempted to write: Pai Mei's Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart Technique.
Technically that would be a supernatural ability, not a special ability.
Syllogism the second: One, probability is a factor which operates within natural forces. Two, probability is not operating as a factor. Three, we are now within un-, sub-, or supernatural forces. Discuss.
If I went in somewhere that wasn't a fucking Starbucks and the dude working there was wearing spacers, I wouldn't take the place seriously and probably wouldn't give them my custom again.
I'm entirely serious.

what next, not being allowed to go to high school nude anymore?
What rules against PDAs? I've walked with my arm around the girls waist, we've held hands and we've had kisses that perhaps may have been a little more steamy then polite and no one has ever said anything to us.
I don't like the word "love". I feel that people are generally too lazy to articulate, much less understand, their feelings for another person, and a vague catch-all term for affection only enables them to put off that essential self-examination.

Sometimes you just find a great person you click with. All other situations can be made up with an accidental condom breakage and "Woops your the daddy" hollywood has taught us this! Nothing makes a man grow up faster then a baby.

you should
I bet it would get a chuckle and the hiring manager would remember you
plus, they can't ask you to demonstrate it because it's illegal!
It's an ap for a somewhat serious restaurant, which means they probably won't hire me anyway, but man, I could be totally shooting myself in the foot...hurm.
don't roll the dice if you're worried about it
but seriously, showing that you have a bit of a sense of humor could be a bonus (as long as the hiring manager has a sense of humor too)

I love cake!
In this case he is being serious, he lost a job at a bakery for adding extra cream to every cake if you catch my drift.

Love and hate are the two words in the English language that have lost a lot of their meaning by being applied to nearly every thinkable situation.
In Dutch (the only other language I'm familiar with, I'm sure it's the same in other language) to say you "hate someone" is a rather serious thing to say. Comparable to "I truly and absolutely hate and detest you". To love doesn't really have a direct translation in Dutch, "houden van" is the best translation, and it is also being used to describe your hobbies, your favourite route home and your favourite flavour of ice cream.
In Flemish Dutch it's slightly more subtle, when they fancy someone they tend to say they "zie hem graag" which can be translated to "I like to see him". It's uh complex.
I will dress my kid in a tiny tuxedo and angrily petition the school board to keep less formal children out of his class

See, this is where the difference in our school systems comes into play. I was wearing a uniform which consisted of a rad jumper and grey trousers from the ages of 4 to 18 and we got in shit if we didn't look respectable. No facial hair, no dyed hair, no looking like a ridiculous cliche.

i can say from experience that uniforms don't do diddly-shit when it comes to kids' behavior
My wife said she wanted to go see Sherlock Holmes last night. I go, "This wouldn't be because it has Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. in it by any chance, would it?" She turned red and goes "Noooo...." I say, "What's it about?" She turns redder and goes "It's...about... Sherlock Holmes!"

I have a secret to tell you:
You almost certainly looked like a ridiculous cliche

Jumper? Ugh, poor people. I had to role with blazer and shirt. Then walk to and from school past one of the worst school in the country at that point. Either alone or with a single mate, fun times.

Are you judging the judgemental?

I love cake!
They get off on every tiny bit of power they can
I just know to look decent when I'm going to be judged based off my appearance
Hey I never said I wasn't a judgmental prick.

Well it's either that or leave the field blank as I really can't think of anything other than like...I don't know...I...enjoy...working?
in fact
you are mimicking the ass backwards protocols of your parents
I think the argument is that they shouldn't be judging appearances to this extent.
Just tell them you can see the future and thats why you are filling out the application.

it's school
everyone has to go
kids are not competing for spots in class based on their resume
they're not getting paid
they're there to learn basic shit
if later, they want to cut off their ears because they like the look and they can't find a customer service job, that's one thing
but the school board shouldn't be dictating that teenagers can't be goth kiddies or whatever they want to be
it's the type of thing kids should learn early
Tempted just to write that I have double jointed shoulders and let them try to figure out how that's relevant to the position.
