I'm working with a new guy, he is a trainee from another store. Trying my best to help him out. It's super slow, no customers. So I tell him since it's slow I'm going to go into the back room and do the inventory count but to let me know if he needs anything. 20 minutes later, he asks if he can use the bathroom. So I say sure, stop the count and head out to the front counter to cover for him. At the counter I see drink stickers, straws, and scissors and a little model car that he has been making from them. He comes back from the bathroom over 20 minutes later. I ask what he had gotten done as far as making prep and cleaning that I assigned him, and he says he doesn't know how to do those things, so he was waiting for me to finish the count and show him how. I grab different bags of ingredients and show him how it has the instructions on the bags, give him the booklet with the instructions, and tell him I'm gonna finish the count and if there is something he needs help with or doesn't know how to do, to come ask me. Making the prep involves things like: "Add 1 litre of water to a pitcher. Add chocolate powder. Stir with whisk. Add 1 more litre of water. Stir with whisk. Pour into container. Place expiration date on container. This product expires in 24 hours" Other tasks I asked him to do were things like sweeping the floor, stocking straws, cleaning some basic stuff. I finish the count and head back out to the front. His model car is finished, nothing is done. I sent him home. Just had to rant for a minute. Hope your day is going well.
