I...am laughing really hard, but that sounds like massive amounts of suckage.
Though, to share a work story, I had my first day on Sunday, the morning shift at the campus dinning center. Well, they forgot to mention that all the normal doors are locked in the morning (of course, it's 10am, so idk why. people do like to eat on sundays too) and that I'd have to use the back entracance...that I was never shown. So i call my sister (because she worked there for years) and she directs me in. I'm late, but it's not my fault, and no one really cares. Then, turns out, the double booked the shift, so we have too many people for the job, so it's just an awkward shuffling thing that we eventually make work, but still. Despite this double-booking, I was still somehow the only cashier when floods of people would come in and then I'd have to guess what certain food items count for because OH YEAH, no one's really showed me the machine menu and what goes with what button. NO BIG.
But people were amused? I apparently have this knee-jerk reaction of smiling and entertaining people until i can figure out/ fix whatever problems I'm having. Like the milk cartons not scanning. I move them around in a little jig in my attempts. this is apparently the best thing people have seen all day, given their laughter.
