He is. He asked a perfectly relevant question based on what he saw of the physical setup in front of him.

And he kept his cool when being talked down to. 

I’d hire him the next minute, personally speaking.

Well, it's funny that you mention that because I worked at a place where the
company ended up hiring a young lady who worked in the cafeteria. When she
graduated she was offered a job in HR, and turned out to be absolutely awesome.

At some point in my life, I was carrying 50lbs bags of potato starch. Now I have
two graduate degrees and am working on a third. That janitor may be awesome, too!

Thanks,
