DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job – no! On my breaks – yes!

DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?: Oh yes, absolutely.
Can you imagine if every application was like that. The interviews would be hilarious. It’s a shame more people aren’t as cocky and forthright as this gentleman. Robots make really bad retail workers. Thanks for replying.
Brilliant. Glad the employer has a sense of humour.
