First Day

Just got through my First Day working at Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar! I'm glad to say it went rather well, although I broke a plate and mug simultaneously- I'll explain later.

I was fearful of being bullied there like I was at my last job at a bookstore, but fortunately, the people at Max Brenner's are much nicer and easier to work with. I hope nobody dislikes me because that would be difficult to deal with! So far my supervisor and manager have been extremely helpful to me, and while the others need a bit of time to warm up to, I think I can manage that.

I met my first nasty rich tai-tai customer! My supervisor handled the disagreement for me. There was, however, this irritating swinging door at the counter. It is a very powerful swinging door, really, and it knocked over the pile of stuff I was helping to clear off a table, amongst them a mug and plate. Damn it. I was doing so well on my first day, too! Luckily my supervisor came to my rescue, told me to take a deep breath, and get back in the flow while he cleaned up. Manager assured me it's rather normal to break things at Max Brenner's, and not to worry.

Loving my new job. Hope it'll be better tomorrow! :)
