Had to wake up at 6am to get to the Induction on time T__T
I'm feeling a tad tired but i'm okay.
Anyways, I was the first person out of anyone to arrive for the Induction.
Boring waiting for about 30mins so i just read Eldest (AGAIN).
When it was 8am a guy called Dean came out and gathered us together inside the premises, inside a room. I was a little surprised to see elderly people there too. The age ranged from 17 & onwards. There were many males too x__x I didn't really like the younger females that much.
We pretty much just ran through all the company's policies eg. what you can't do while working, what you have to do when you come to work etc etc etc. Some things really threw me off, such as the selling tobacco part. Shocked that I could sell it behind the counter. Thought you had to be over 18.
A really interesting & WEIRD exercise was when everyone had to stare into someone else's eyes for at least a minute. It was kinda freaky. I kept getting mind blanks coz I was staring at the person's eyes. The first guy was a nice man from Germany. Funny accent ^_^ The 2nd man was an elderly man. He had really blue eyes LOL That's all I remember.
We watched a DVD about the company's policies & a lady came to talk about trade unions. I've joined. I thought,'what's the harm? I can get out of it anytime.'
Overall, the day wasn't too bad.
I'm nervous though working on the cash registers. The people who work there go so fast & do so well at handling cash! >O< I really don't want to mess it up AGAIN!
