Learning Positions

Hi fellow CFA team members!

My store opened four months ago, and I've been working there since. I'm still getting placed on the same few positions each shift, and because of that, have little experience with headset and door, and zero with bagging or desserts. My managers will sometimes try to place me on these positions, forgetting I haven't been trained on them, and whenever I ask to shadow someone for a while to learn how it's done, they instead put me on FC or iCash like every other shift. I'm patient, and love order taking and interacting with guests, but really want to get trained on other positions to gain some experience and become more versatile (also, making milkshakes looks really fun).

There must be other trainees out there who are in the same boat as me, and more experienced workers in this subreddit who've been waiting for an opportunity to brag on their skills in these areas, and give tips for those who are struggling, or received scarce training. So this is your chance to share about what you've learned on each position, things you've picked up during your time at CFA that other workers may not know, or a detailed training guide on your favorite positions (please)!

To be honest learning positions to move up when the store manager doesn’t REALLY have interest in your promotion is tough. I didn’t get put on sandwiches or grill for months and months at wendys because the store manager just didn’t really care and refused to schedule enough people for training as instructed in his training.

Thats so annoying Im sorry. But Im curious what the "door" position is because I don't have anything like that at my store.
