I started my first job at a cafe yesterday, where I was supposed to begin training. I was there from 8am to 2pm, but it was so busy that I barely learned anything. There were only two people behind the counter, and they were swamped with orders, leaving no time for proper training. I don’t have any experience with coffee, so I knew it would take me a while to get the hang of things. The girl who was supposed to train me was there from 6:30am to 2pm and didn’t even get a lunch break. I mostly stood around, trying to help when I could and observing the chaos. The main issue is that I didn’t get any paperwork done because it was so hectic, and I never even clocked in. I only have the store's phone number, and I was told that they would contact me about when to return and about the paperwork. I tried reaching out to a guy whose number I got, but he hasn’t responded. I’m feeling a bit lost and unsure about what to do next. My mom thinks I should call again or even go to the cafe to talk to them, while my boyfriend and his mom suggest I wait until Sunday. I don’t want to come off as lazy or annoying, but I also want to show that I’m eager to start. Everyone at the cafe was really nice, so I hope to sort this out soon.
