 I'm kinda upset with the way they train their employees here at Fry's Electronics. We had a week full of orientation -three days, more like- and maybe an hour was just put into training us how to actually handle the cash register. The rest was on watching old high school-esque videos on the power of teamwork and the company's history and loss

Man, they're serious! Everything comes together in more time. I was training for two weeks before I even got a tour of the office, and all my training was done in the basement. I also didn't know how to use the phone for a while aside from patient calls, what with the intercom buttons, everyone's extensions, and all these features I dont know what they are.

Best you can do as you adapt is to keep a pleasant face when a customer has to wait. Flushing's fast food places get new employees like musical chairs and it's easier to be patient with a newbie who smiles and asks politely to wait while she gets someone whenever she derps out at the register, than someone who just derps.

I'll have the rp discussion up soon for when you have time. We should also exchange work tales sometime!
