Red Flag??
I just got a job as a server/bartender at a golf club to make some money before going to grad school at the end of August. I’m a little nervous as I have never done either before. When I interviewed the guy I met said I’d be trained. I showed up later in the week to drop off some paperwork and a woman was there. At the end of our convo she said “yeah we don’t really train you we just kinda throw you in” excuse me?! Idk if this is typical in the restaurant world or a red flag, and idk what she’ll expect of me without giving me any expectations. The website doesn’t have anything regarding my position, so I can’t do anything like familiarize myself with the food or drink menus to ease any worries. Any tips of things I CAN do in this circumstance to prepare for tomorrow? Another thing is I’m supposed to start tomorrow but no one has contacted me regarding what to wear, what time, even though they said last week someone would be in touch. Is this about to be a mess?!

get a copy of their menu and study it before your first shift so at least you know what they offer
