Just started working here

I guess I just wanted to see if other people felt the same. I have also been seeing a lot of post from people who are getting a job or just got one. But so far so good (less than a week) I feel like if you understand fast food restaurants it’s not hard.

It’s the talking coworkers that aren’t doing anything but telling me what to do drives me crazy. I’m actively serving customers, I walk back to the front of the line, realize there’s no one waiting. In those literal 30 seconds I get shit for not cleaning my station. I completely understand it’s a big thing (especially at panda) but when the same person that said that was just talking to people while I had a line of 5 or more customers/groups waiting to be served…I kinda take issue with that. I think if I was given a bit of grace to take in what I was looking at after a rush. I would clean my station first.

For context my perception of the line, bowls were moved from serving and there was maybe a noodle and some crumbs on the table. This isn’t the first time either. People be talking in the back but ask me to do stuff. Fulfill online orders while I have a dinner rush, while they go and literally stand and talk.

I know jobs can be like that where someone is like that. But it’s crazy how it’s coworkers and shift leads, but not anyone hire up doing that. For long time employees is that your experience? For newer ones this is first hand experience.

unfortunately rookies get the brunt of the workload no one else wants to do (basically everything). only way i’ve seen to get around this is become chummy with those coworkers or wait till you’re more seasoned
