I applied for a part time job a coffeeshop. Asked what the pay was first, didn't want to waste their time if it wasn't going to work. It didn't work so I emailed back cancelling my interview. She didn't respond, I went to the cafe for lunch & told them I wanted to make sure she got my email so she wouldn't think I was a no show. She got my email & seemed annoyed I showed up. Maybe, but is it unreasonable of me to think that it was rude of her not to reply acknowledging my decision?

I agree she should have acknowledged your email. Perhaps she realized that when you showed up in person and that rattled her. In any event, it sounds like a good idea that you didn't take a job there.

Yea they made me feel stupid when she looked at me and said "well I got your email you declined, I didn't bother responding because I just assumed you wouldn't show up."

Tbh I think you have done the right and decent thing by emailing back and being honest to not waste their time. But I probably would've left it there honestly to avoid an awkward conversation in person. Just like the other person said though, sounds like you dodged a bit of a bullet anyway!

I agree with this. I can definitely tell OP’s intentions were in the right place, but just an email would have sufficed

Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.
