When I knew that my local Second Cup was looking for a barista I jumped on the occassion, even if I told myself that I would never work in a restaurant/café job again. I told myself that it couldn't be as bad as my old job.
Well, unfortunately, it was, and I didn't even started. First you get your interview, which they throw you wierd and borderline innapropriate questions. I did let that one slide. Second, when you get hired, you are OBLIGATED to do some training about the Compagny and learn how everything works. WITHOUT BEING PAID. The owner of the café was really rude to me when I called her when I told her I never got my schedule. She tells me that it's impossible and that I shouldn't call her with the number of the café (which was the only one I had) and almost hanged up on me, to finally learn that she misspelled my email so that's why I never got anything. Understanable, forgave it the second I got the email. But it doesn't stop there. The day of my first shift (which was a training day) I get called at 10am (my shift started at 12) to tell me that my training is cancelled due to a ''emergency meeting''. I rushed myself to do the online training to get it done on time the previous day. I'm kinda pissed, but hey, day off you know.. I get an other email... With all the recipes and other stuff to learn that wasn't on the online training and get told to LEARN IT BY HEART FOR THE NEXT MORNING. Which is impossible.. But I told myself that I could do it so I take out my paper and pen and start to memorize.. 5 hours later, I'm still not done and I'm having an anxiety attack because I'm having to many things to learn at once and I have WAY too many pressure on my shoulders. All this because of an ''emergency meeting''. So tomorrow (July 7th 2017) will be the only day I will come in because this is absolute madness.
