My new work shoes came in today! They're required because they have a slip-resistant sole. But they come in many styles, including a Chuck Taylor style (I should have gotten those, instead...). Another co-worker has the same style that I ordered, and she warned me that they'll give me blisters. I changed into them on my break. My feet were okay while working, but as soon as my shift was over I walked 2 blocks and had to change back into my comfy Sketchers. I already have a blister. It's only been like 2 hours.
Worked the lunch rush again today. I was on sandwich-duty for a small part of the beginning of the lunch rush, and I'm getting better at keeping up. I'm also starting to be able to make the side orders in addition to the sandwiches. I noticed some of the same high school kids from before. I'm guessing it's a regular luncheon for the lot of them.
Everyone is super nice to me except for one chick; I suspect she's the one who I overheard disapproving of the new hires. Smiles to my face when directly confronted by me, but I don't think I otherwise exist to her.
The way most everyone is teaching me things is by explaining what they're doing as they're doing it. However, I learn much better with hands-on training. If they could provide commentary through me trying something new for the first time, I'm sure I could pick it up much more quickly. This is even more-so complicated by the fact that the ones who are most often teaching me are the ones who have the heaviest accents. While most are strongly Mexican accents, there's also a guy with what I can only assume to be a Russian tongue. I wonder why he's here? Maybe he's in school.
I'm noticing that there is a lot of inter-mingling going on between the employees. Boyfriends, fiancees, cousins, friends, roommates... Everyone knows everyone else. I wonder if that ever causes problems?
