Finishing my Training

So Friday and Saturday I did more training, learning how to open and close a shop. There was more e-learning to do and then I served some real guests with my trainers help at the register. Was kinda daunting at first making sure I did everything right but was good fun. Sunday was my last training shift and then I had to take a test on the computer which I passed! I got a few questions wrong but when my trainer looked at them they were badly worded ones and some of them I was actually right on but the test is so old! So after that I was put into rotation and I got my assignment from CDS. I was in the Tea store and oh my god the number of questions people ask about tea!! Whilst the training we get is really good there's loads of stuff guests ask that you just have no clue about so I kept going to the next shop to ask whoever was in there! I also had to do a package pickup which is where a guest has their shopping sent to their resort and it took me forever to do plus I forgot to tell them where to collect it! woops! But most people that ask for it know how it works so I'm sure it was fine! I also had a lady buy a teapot and I was trying to wrap it for her and it was awful! After ages she was like 'don't you have a box?' and I was like Oh shit yea we do I just forgot! She ended up helping me wrap it and I was like sorry it's my first shift! I also didn't wrap up a mug properly for a package pick up and it smashed out the back, but it was fine because we just got another one and now I go over the top wrapping everything up to make sure it doesn't break!

Monday was my first proper shift and I ended up on Kidcot all day! I just kept getting assigned it after breaks and stuff. It was quite fun but in the evening I got hit big time with the tour groups. This sort of time there's loads of them from Brazil all wearing matching t-shirts and you see them everywhere! They come into Kidcot and each one usually has about 5 Duffys each so it can get pretty insane, especially when they have a passport they want a comment in too. I was exhausted by the end of my shift at 9.30! When I got home everyone was chilling by the pool so we had a late night dip which was soo needed.
