I think I’m getting the hang of things at work, but I’m still making little mistakes here and there. I forgot to ask a customer if they had or wanted a rewards card once or twice. I forgot how many ounces of sorbet go in a sorbet freeze. And in a great moment of stupidity I asked a customer if they wanted frosting on their ice cream. That sucked. I’m also pretty sure that the other employees are dumping all the shitty jobs on me because I’m new and think I “need to learn how to do this”. I had to change and clean out all the trash cans, clean out and clean the beverage and topping fridge and do a temperature chart for everything in the store. I guess it is actually stuff that I have to learn, but I hope they don’t make me do all of those things all the time. I’m also super scared about making a mistake at the register— that thing is actually way more confusing than I anticipated, with all sorts of promotions and cow card business and stuff. And I’ve been really paranoid about making a mistake with change too, since you have to count all the money at the end and make sure it is aligned with the sales you made that day. But overall I’m pretty happy with the new job. I like ice cream, and cows, and the smell (but not the taste) of coffee. So it should be good.
