Horrible first day at Wendy's :(? |
I just started today, and it's was so CRAZY! The people in there are pretty cool, and I was trained to do sandwhiches. I feel so stupid now because I kept messing up and I couldn't memorize the sandwhiches and what goes on them :( (even the bun or wrapper!). I had to work at lunch rush and I got confused by the stupid monitor and even forgot sometimes what order I put out. I don't wanna go back because I feel like I can't do my job right. I even dazed out a couple of times when someone talked to me lol. I dunno what to do :(, what if I'm never able to do it right! Take a b r e a t h!!!! :) you know what? You've already gotten through the HARDEST part! Tomorrow you will know 10 times as much as you knew today (which was nothing since it was your first day). Good luck. After a week or so, you'll be so damn pro. Your fist day-week at a new job is going to be crappy. It's your first day! Give yourself a break! Go back there & do as best you can, you'll get it, it just takes a little while to learn. :) Don't worry. It takes time to learn new products. Working at Wendy's is a relatively easy job. I am sure you will learn the process in 90 days. Don't stress out over it though. Good luck. What you describe here is a typical first day on any job - messing up, not remembering stuff, not being able to find anything, etc. Believe me, it happens to everyone. I'd encourage you to give it a few more days. Assuming you are of average intelligence, I guarantee you that within two weeks you'll be wrapping and slinging like a pro. Just try to really concentrate on what you're learning, watch others, make notes if you ahve to, and you'll be fine. Good luck! You can't learn it all in your first day. The first week or so are the hardest. Don't give up! You will learn it all & be fine. Same thing goes with every job. You are not alone. Sounds like my first day working at a pizza place in high school. We were covering the town's largest festival, and it was simply insane the amount of orders we were getting. I screwed up a lot, and couldn't figure out how to make the dough correctly, and it was about 95 degrees in the kitchen. After a few hours, I just didn't even know what to do with myself anymore, and I felt that I was just doing more harm than good. But then, after working there for a while and slowly getting better, I realized that everyone makes mistakes. And everyone new that they hired made the same mistakes that I did; some of them even gave up after one day and never came back. The ones who made it through the first week or so, though, got a lot better and the craziness just decreased and became a lot more controllable once they got used to it. So you probably just have to get used to it, and it might take a week or two weeks or pure craziness. Then you'll find that you're much more on "autopilot" and can concentrate on getting better, rather than on learning the job. Get over the learning curve and you'll be fine. I think they probably gave you too much to do on your first day. They should train you more before you have to do all that hands on stuff. Hang in there, all jobs suck the first week or two but before you know it, you'll be a pro. It will be like riding a bike. Good luck sweetie! |
