Owner at Retrorep

Really upset! Was I unprofessional?

I had an initial interview where they have 10 people sitting waiting to interview. I thought it might be a group thing, but no. We were all called in one at a time. Was this an intimidation tactic? Well, I got a second interview. Then I was called to come in to shadow. I went in and every time I got up to follow she asked what I was doing... I thought I was shadowing... not now I was told. After 4 times I didn't get up. Then I was asked why I didn't get up. All we did for 4 hours was look for nerf basketballs that the owner of the company wanted to send out as a gift. I didn't talk to anyone, do anything but sit... What I did do was show his current assistant how to find them... The owner treated for lunch at his restaurant. The only time I saw him while I was there was to say thank you for lunch. Then I was told, thanks for coming in, we will call you to come another day. Then I get an email, we found someone more suited for the position. I went off! I sent an email to the company saying how my time was just as valuable as theirs and how dare they treat people this way. They did not even give me the opportunity to show what I could do. I guess this is unprofessional, but I didn't feel they were professional either!
