Answer 4

i've never worked at tim hortons because i dont know what that is..but i do work at a restaurant. you get used to it the better you get and the more you know. i'd say stay there a little while longer like 2 weeks and if it just gets worse then maybe a restaurant isn't for you.

Pick a career that you enjoy.

If you are gonna stick to the job then you will eventually get used to your job and it will be more enjoyable.  

Answer 11

Oh, I feel so sorry for you.  I've never worked at a Tim Horton's but I've definitely been in your shoes.  I started working at a fast paced chain restaurant and was in over my head the first two weeks.  I had to memorize tables, seats, and most of all the menu.  Customers were also frustrated with me that I wasn't as good as "the waitress they were used to".  It seemed so overwhelming but I got to know a couple of the girls that worked there and they helped me. Before I knew it, I was up to the pace of everyone else and you can do it too.  Don't give up too soon!  Good luck!

Answer 12

My brother got a job at a McDonald's and he says it's the same way.

It's been a couple of weeks now and he's stabilized.  

Try looking at only the good points of the job.  Like, my brother says the good point of his job is that he's only assigned to do one thing at a time.  Like, making the sandwiches or cashiering.

If after a few weeks to a month, you really can't stand it and the stress is just really getting to you, maybe you're not meant to be working with food.  Try getting a job where there's no food involved like Target or any other store without food.

I had a similar experience with a sandwhich shop and I was going to be the assistant manager.

I eventually quit and went back to my old job in a bag shop and realized that food jobs just aren't for me.

I also worked at a Target before and I gotta tell you, it's a lot better than food jobs in my opinion.  Although I do prefer independent jobs where I manage a small shop (without food of course).  It's so much nicer when you don't have someone breathing down your neck all the time.

Answer 13

You'll get used to it. you just started. that's how it is when you start a job. At all jobs it get stressful because you don't know everything you need to know for that store..just keep doing what your doing and if it gets worse find a job that's smaller than that store so you won't be stressed out and then you'll know where everything is!

GOOOOOOOD LUCK! :)

Answer 14

You are going through what typically happens when people start new jobs.  Just about everyone feels overwhelmed in the beginning. I personally think it's not fair that you are already waiting on customers only two days into the job.  People have really lost their manners.  Try not to take it personally.  Maybe just say, "please bear with me, I've only been working here a couple days. this is all new to me."  If they're still mean, then try to make that their problem not yours.  I know it can be hard not to take it personally, but if they are so short tempered, they have the real problem.  good luck.  give it a couple weeks and you'll find yourself feeling more and more at home.

Answer 15

Ah dude, working in the food business sucks!!! When i first started waitressing, i hated it! I've been doing it for 5 years now, and I'm so used to it....i do get tired of people, you learn through experience how to deal with people and problems, and you'll soon be used to it. If you don't like it after 2 weeks, find something else. good luck  

Answer 16

Its how all jobs start, it stresses you out because you think you wont be able to handle it and remember everything.....but think...If everyone else there can figure it out, so can you.....trust me, all that stuff that seems really hard will be really easy in no time....and customers will be easier to deal with once you start getting their orders right (that wasnt a jab, just a fact)   dont worry, youll be fine.

Answer 17

The experience will make or break you.  I do not know you or your personality so I cannot tell you the outcome.
