Work was ridiculous for me today, too. They put me on sandwiches (which I've never done before), I had a bit of a tutorial, and then I was pretty much on my own for the last four hours of my shift. And see, the thing about sandwiches at the Tim's I work at is: you're either doing dick-all, or you're so swamped that you have the supervisor AND the drive-thru girl helping you. And then some guy complains that I don't know how to make a wrap. Newsflash: the badge says "in training" for a reason. Of -course- I don't know how to make a wrap that well. People suck. End of rant.

If they pay for a wrap, it's three spoons of filling with salad and cucumbers. You add tomatoes in the chicken wrap. No sauce.
If they pay for a sandwich in a wrap instead of a regular bun, it's the same recipe as the sandwich.
Don't you have a poster with all the sandwich recipes? They're supposed to tape it near the sandwich table. It's usually on the fridge's door. =o

Oh, I spent the last three hours of my shift training on 'expo'. In a sit-down restaurant, , the expo is the person who makes sure that the food on the plate looks 'spec', so that it looks exactly like the corporation says it should. Like, rib tips get a bone bowl, steak knife and a wetnap, with their side order, and either beans or coleslaw. Like that. And its MADCORE busy, and SO scary.
And I was doing that. *whimper*

Dude, Tim Horton's is fast food. Of course we don't have that. ; It's just the baker that takes care of dressing the pastries and donuts up.

Mmm. Didn't work today, but when I went in yesterday (Starbucks) our drive-thru tills weren't working for the better part of three hours, the only solution the helpdesk offered us was to shut down the STOREWIDE system for ten minutes, two people (including the other girl who was supposed to run drive with me) called in sick/didn't show, and our district manager came in for a surprise inspection. I totally feel your pain, aindel. Eight hours of HELL.

Right there, I would have slit my wrists. There is no shame in that, SA. None whatsoever.
I was bussing tables on Sunday, and this other girl, Dominigue, was at the door-- and this guy comes in and says, "Hi, I'm here for my takeout?" and she just sneers and points to the bar and goes, "In there". [She's not the friendliest of girls, obviously]
I recognized him... it was Sass, our District Manager's general manager. And Dominigue sassed Sass. My manager was almost in tears, and I wasn't even there to defuse the situation. [He likes me, cause I'm pleasant, I suppose?]

*heart stops*
Oh, wow. At least Liz was nice about it when she came in. She saw us going crazy (because we had two front tills, and one was being used for drive; but then we had NO tills) and all she did was throw on an apron and clear us to give everything away. I could've cried.
I can't IMAGINE what would posess someone to be all snarky like that, though; especially in a job. [And yes, I can see why he'd want a happy bubble there to help. XD]

We've got the sandwich poster (and believe me, I used it). And see, that's what I DID on the wrap. So lord only knows what his problem was. SA, I hope you get a nice, long break soon after dealing with that. I sincerely hope I don't go through anything like that. Ever.
