Reagan said it’s been hard finding opportunities. He was forced to quit school two years ago when his mother died. He completed his GED while staying home to care for his siblings.
According to that story, he was going for a job at a thrift store, not Dairy Queen.
And if you then read the facebook post of the man who hired him, he says he gave him money for lunch and dropped him off at the Dairy Queen.
So it could be the DQ was just where he dropped him for lunch, and the thrift store was nearby and that’s where he was going for a job interview.
