I just had the strangest experience...

hello myLot! I hope your day is going well and it's not as weird as mine has been.
Last Friday I applied for a new job at a juice bar. I spoke with the owner and we set up an interview for Monday. I went to the interview, it went really well, he said I'll speak to you on Wednesday or Thursday so we can start training you. Well, the week goes by and I've heard nothing from the guy. That's normal I guess, I know people are busy. This weekend I was sort of out of town visiting family so I messaged him this morning letting him know if he did need me to work/train this weekend to just give me a heads up because the drive was a little longer....
He says "who is this?"
WHAT? We just met last week, we seemed to get along well, I don't understand. But I try to remain friendly and explain who I was and that we'd met last week.
He replies with "I have no recollection of this."
Again, WHAT?! Am I being gaslit? Did I dream the whole thing? Is he all of the sudden suffering from amnesia?
I don't know how to answer him at this point, so I called the actual shop where we met. The automated voice on the other end says, "We're sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service," or something along those lines...the place doesn't exist?! So who did I meet on Monday?
This is beyond weird and I guess it's safe to say I don't have the job 
I don't even know what to think at this point. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

@isweartokira It's a really strange situation. I have no idea what I'd do either.

I hope not, I do hope he's ok. I just don't know how to react to him not remembering our meeting at all.

Never happened too me but I have heard of similar cases where people went for interviews and the people they met with do not even work for the place they said they worked for people I know have quit there jobs because they think they have something better coming and it is not so.

@isweartokira many people say that they hate there jobs and want a new one they always think that the grass would be greener on the other side but I say if you do not have the new job then do not quit the old unless you know for sure that you have the new job that you are applying for.
