You got my support dude. I had the same jitters when I took the trade of Plumbing. For the first three days I did not know what the hell I was doing, but honestly your boss can't scold you if you make a mistake or two. That comes natural. Eventually you'll be able to get everything like it's natural. Also, I don't know if my state's law is the same as yours. But your employer can not fire you until like a month or so. So basically if the law is the same, you got a month (Which is plenty of time) to learn just about everything you need to know. It's Deli. It's not complicated. You don't need to be a doctor to know what the hell you gotta do. ____________________ __________________________________  |

As aforementioned by Anya and myself over Skype, your body will adjust over time.
Your superiors at your job will be lenient with you for about 1-3 months (generally). They should understand that you're new, and will guide you along the way until you've got everything down. They'll probably start scheduling you for 6-hour shifts in a couple of weeks. ____________________ Exate Land - ZC/ZZT works from years past.  "I haven't the faintest idea"  |

They had you serving customers on your first day? 
I suppose from now on, whenever somebody tosses you a large order, get ready that which you can remember, then politely ask what the other things they wanted whilst also stating you're new to the job--any good customer will certainly give you lenience. Also, I recommend doing leg stretches before bed so you don't run the risk of developing charlie horses during the night. Once you adapt to the job, though (few months or so, but it'll increasingly get better from your third day and onward), you shouldn't need to do them anymore. Would be a good idea to take advantage of stretching whenever on break, since muscles tense up, etc. I'm somebody that gets absolutely no exercise, and my job no longer has any strain on my body (three or four 6-hour shifts a week). So, if I got used to it, I'm sure you can too. Much luck. ____________________ Exate Land - ZC/ZZT works from years past. "I haven't the faintest idea" |

| Give it two weeks, and you'll have it memorized. Happened to me at Subway. The hardest part of that job was dealing with my boss. He was a DICK. ____________________ No matter how you spin it, you have to spin it right. |

| I`m assuming you would get used to it. Otherwise, there`d be no sane adults.

Originally posted by XkeeperOriginally posted by Exate Sadly, good customers do seem to be few and and far between.  The majority of the people I see at work are actually decent, so I suppose I'm pretty damn lucky. But I've certainly witnessed in the past others ahead of me in a line giving crap to cashiers for totally asinine reasons.
Just remember, Sonicandtails, the customer is not always right (in fact, they almost never are). But you're never allowed to be a prick to one without getting a write-up or losing your job. ____________________ Exate Land - ZC/ZZT works from years past.

Originally posted by Onyx Didn't the college semester just end, though? I figure you'd have plenty of free time now, unless there's something else in life that's deterring you from wanting to get a job... For future reference, though, I'd apply for a seasonal job when the chance arises, especially if you're off from school. ____________________ Exate Land - ZC/ZZT works from years past.

I've gotten some annoying customers at every retail job I've been to... for example, at Staples, I get customers who keep asking for the ink they want when they're right in front of it, etc.  ____________________
