I should probably specify that the restaurant is in a low population area where everybody pretty much knows everyone else. And the botted applications came from people that lived nowhere near there, and were from a demographic that was all but absent from the area.

Nobody is moving across the nation to a town in the middle of nowhere to make $10/hr.

Why is he posting on indeed instead of just posting a sign in the window or just putting the word out if "everyone knows everyone"? Especially for a $10/hr restaurant job?
