“Oh, you have no idea how much I need help here.” Sandra said, showing me the back of the shop while my brain screamed, what the heck is this?!
What’s with all the garbage? I wanted to say. Lamps strewn the floor. Used paper plates stacked high in the garbage bin. Ugh, what is that smell?
Wait a minute, which position did she think I was applying? Because it’s sure ain’t the cleaning lady. I’m desperate to earn a few extra dollars but not desperate enough to work to clean.
“Um, excuse me Sandra, I’m sorry but I gotta go.”

Very wise decision

Been there, tricked into clearing other people’s junk. Ask for a pay rise if Sandra needs the money.

Yeah, that sounds like more than she signed up for. That requires a trauma cleaner and a lot more money than she’d probably be getting.

And she was just heading in for the job interview, not starting the actual job. All I can say is at least Sandra was up front about it so there won’t be any kind of regrets afterwards.

it might worth it if the price was right. 🙂

For the narrator of this story, I don’t think any sum of money will get her to be a cleaning lady.
