The actress who starred on 227 played the unemployment claims officer and she did a good job in acting nasty and looking down on Whitley
She also said...I GOT A JOB to say that anyone who is unemployed is beneath her. That lady was programmed to view unemployed people in a negative way and the actress did a good job. I told you that in this society if you are unemployed it's your fault and something must be wrong with you. This episode did a good job of showing that |

That's because she felt she had to separate herself from all the other unemployed people because people look down on you when you have no job. So she was trying to come in and show that she is not your typical unemployed person |

I don't like being around other unemployed people because I get put in a group which is why I never ever went to a job fair. No way in hell would I be standing in line on the news to get in a building to hear NOTHING

Job Fairs I felt was always for people who don't know how to look for a job. |

Nope, Job fairs are great to go to because you have a lot of Businesses in one location and you have a better chance of talking to HR face to face, some do interviews on the spot. There have been people who were hired on the spot at job fairs. My aunt was laid off from DISD last year, she went to a job fair that another district was having and she walked out with offers. Don't poo-poo on the job fairs LOL |

Exactly! Whitley deserved to be checked. There was a major contrast between Whitley's personality and the no nonsense city worker. I thought that worked well and sparked some drama. Whitley: Have you no pity? Have you no heart? Claims Officer #5: No but I do have a job! That was cruel but funny as well.

Yeah Whitley needed to be knocked down a peg. She approached Claims Officer Number 5 the wrong way, she didn't skip one person she skipped the whole line LOL |

In 1992 I would have agreed with your post but in 2012 I understand why Whitley did what she did when entering the unemployment office |
