While it's pleasant to imagine that sense, learning, and goodness are more prevelant in the world than not, it's just not true.

I have found that the "smart" person, the "good" person, is much more often the exception to the rule.

They allow people who are so insecure about thier position to hold position, because the ones above them are themselves, insecure and afraid.

I sincerely doubt anyone at Costco has put much thought into your possible employment at all. Not like you have.
I'd not be suprised if the reason you're having such a tough time, is simple incompetence.
It goes like this:
The person who takes apps has only worked there for a month. But he calls in a lot, and someone has to fill in. Well, the idiot that fills in doesn't like filling in, because they work "too hard" anyway. So, she put your app in the wrong tray. Then when you called they found it, but the right person wansn't around to look at it. Likely he was trying to perpetuate the semblance of human intellegence that commerce stumbles around on.

I don't know if that made sense, but the idea is this:
A series of screwups and such led to your dilemma.

To many people have to little intelligence. For me, I find the biggest catch is that thier functioning brain cells have just enough sense to look out for number one.

Not that it'll make you feel better, but just about everyone is having a tough time findng a job right now. There's no one thinking you're too qualified, there's just no one thinking.
