I think they do that to:

  1. Judge your reaction to being asked stupid questions.

  2. Check that you know what's written on your CV, to see if you're lying on it or something?

C) Because someone else chose the candidates for interview.

Based on the context and my own personal experience as a person who has interviewed hundreds as a hiring manager --not syaing I do this, just that I understand-- they said "HEY FRANK WE NEED YOU TO SIT IN THIS INTERVIEW IN 30 MINUTES. K THANKS" and Frank showed up and tried to pretend that he knew what was going on.

Sounds about right, I've had interviews where the boss has forgotten.

Granted it was just bar work, still pretty funny to see the dawning of realisation spread across their face.

Also these first impression moments are good because you can predict how they would treat you if you worked there. I walked away super annoyed and didn't care that I didn't get called back in. I was way overqualified for the position but was also desperate for one since I had just moved back to the country and needed to sponsor my spouse for residency.
