I just have a mini rant I wanted to get off my chest. So I applied to a smoothie/açaí bowl place to get some extra hours and money during the summer. They were very last minute and had me come in for a trial shift the same day as my zoom interview, as well as come in the next day to work. I even changed my availability so that I could have most of the week open for whenever they wanted to schedule me.
I only had 3 days of training total, and each day they would show me how to do something once and then expect me to be perfect at it after. On my third and final day here I went on my break and the owner brought me to the back after my break was over. He told me that they “don’t have time to train me” and that I should practice cutting different fruits and reach back out to them in a month to work there.
To me it just sounds like they were too cheap to pay me for training so they wanted me to train myself at home and come back. I also was supposed to work 4 shifts next week and they told me I don’t have to come in. The entire day I was doing fine making açaí bowls and smoothies and the previously on Wednesday the manager said I did a good job that day.
Obviously it is someone else’s business and they can hire and fire who they want but I am just disappointed because I barely had the chance to learn anything and they still have signs up encouraging people to apply.
