So, I had a really good interview today and I walked out feeling pretty awesome about how things went. And about a half hour ago I was offered the position! F/T cashier in a gas station/convenience store. The crew on duty when I went in was awesome - it felt like a damn good fit from the second I walked in the door, and I had a gut feeling that I'd be offered the position pretty quickly. I'd expected closer to dinner time than to lunch, but clearly I made a good enough impression that they called me not long after I got home! I start my training later this week ^_^

Completed my first two days of training and I have three more to go
The store's AM is thrilled at how quickly I'm picking things up. I had all my onboarding stuff done yesterday, and technically wasn't on the schedule for today but she asked me to come in anyway to start cash training. At first I basically watched the scheduled cashier and then I got bored so I logged into the second cash to start taking payments. If I had any questions I asked the more experienced person, but basically I did pretty good. And the end of shift paperwork was way easier than I honestly expected it would be. I won't learn end of day paperwork until Friday night but I don't anticipate that being super complicated either. It was the paperwork that I was the most worried about honestly because the last time I worked in a gas station I had struggled with parts of it.
The store's AM also noticed that I didn't just stay behind the cash all shift - I stocked what I could and cleaned things when they needed it. I even went into the forecourt and made sure things were stocked at the gas pumps, and coiled up the air pump hose so it wasn't a mess. All things nobody had to tell me to do, I just did them because it made sense to do.
Here's to this job continuing to go well!Comment

With that performance, be advised that the AM (and possibly higher) will want to get some clones made of you. Teachable, AND just does all the 1001 little things on site? They'll take a dozen!Comment
