Ok I googled the joint I applied to and wow they are indeed dodgy. As I guessed, the store itself isn’t dodgy, but the boss seems to be one of those “alpha man” types. All the reviews I’ve found seem to mainly be about him being abusive. Also he looks like that Tate dude everyone keeps going on about
I don’t really want to no show for the interview, but I don’t think I want anything to do with it anymore and they don’t have a way to cancel. The message didn’t even come from a phone number, it came from one of those short code things so I can’t even reply
Sounds even more sus - no way to cancel? Maybe dob them in to Fair Work? Like, send an enquiry to Fair Work asking if this is industry standard behaviour, attaching screenshots/copies of everything they’ve sent to you.
I found an email for bossy Boi and sent a rather blunt “I’m no longer interested in this position” email but there wasn’t any response and I still got reminder messages
Probably automated. Does sound like they’re trolling for someone desperate enough for work that they can be exploited. You’re much better off ignoring them I think. And you’re worth far more than a job like that. Bullet dodging hero you are.

You can cancel by just not answering 🤷♂️
I ended up doing that. They sent me a message 15 minutes earlier telling me not to be “a cosmic disappointment”, so…
😂 you dodged a bullet for sure
