Today was my first day of work at the deli. When I showed up they had no idea I was the person who was there to work. Once they figured it out they were glad to have the help though.

I:

• Ran the register multiple times
• Cut lunch meat
• Made stuffed pepper-thingys
• Cooked patties
• Bagged nutrolls
• Did dishes
• Swept the floor after closing
• Had lunch for free

The day was pretty great and went well. I didn’t do too much involving lunchmeat besides cutting it once. Most my time was spent bagging all the nut rolls for a catering party and preparing all the peppers by cleaning out the seeds and then stuffing them all.

 

Right off the bat I learned how to run the register. I even learned how to use it for a customer paying with a credit card. Besides one time where I messed up everything went rather smoothly. This one lady was talking to me. She wanted to know if I went to high school here, and then when I told her no and what college I went to. She said her sister just graduated from there etc. Needless to say I rang her out twice because I forgot to enter she paid with a twenty and not exact change.

 

Oh and I made a two dollar tip. Some lady bought four hoagies and a big container of pasta for almost thirty dollars. She took the loose change and told me to keep the dollars.

 

I work the afternoon shift again tomorrow. I’ll be meeting two other new people and working with them. The one lady who trained me today was pretty nice. She had me doing so much stuff I never really even talked to the other lady working there. She also mentioned something about me working Saturday. I have no idea because I’m not on the schedule yet and only knew I had Tuesday and Wednesday for work. They close at 2:30 on the weekend so I imagine I’d have to work an early shift.

 

Besides some doubt instilling questions down in my twitter feed the first day was great.
