The majority of the customers who came in were elderly people. I’ve noticed elderly people are extremely finicky about how they want their food. If you mess upon their order, they make a huge deal about it. Me being new, I’ve got to admit, I messed up a lot. The customers obviously did not understand no matter how times I apologized and told them I was new. For example, this customer, who was a regular once ordered a strawberry frosted donut. It was last the strawberry frosted in the case. I went to grab it and it fell out of my hand and on to the floor.

Making sandwiches are a little different though because you have to heat up the eggs, sausage patties and other sandwich ingredients in these small ovens that make them hot in minutes. The only thing is though that the ovens are so small you can only fit about 6 sausage patties in there and that is not enough if you’re having a rush. However, if you’re not having a rush, then it’s a good day because nothing gets ran out of and everyone is
