Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Hello. Im 16 and have been at my Subway job for only 3 weeks, part time. Last and this week have been my spring break from school, so ive been in during daytime shifts to make some extra cash.

My general manager (H) has been the only person working with me while on spring break. He’s almost 50 years old, and pretty skilled at running a subway. His accent is thick and his English is a little broken though, so there’s a bit of a barrier between us.

So, H has been complaining to me about a number of things about my performance the last day or two. He complains that he’s “tired” of having to interrupt his GM duties to help me get sandwiches made quick enough, or to receive customers. He also tells me that i move too slow and take too long to get ready to start a sandwich.

Now, let me remind you, ive been there for 3 weeks; im still in training. I take maybe 30 seconds or so to get my hands washed and get plastic gloves on them (our paper towel is awful quality.) While i do so, im still taking the order and talking to the customer, apologizing for the wait. They’re often just fine with it. H isn’t though- sometimes he’ll move me away and excuse me for being in training, even if there’s just a person or two there.

The sandwiches follow a specific formula and im still trying to remember them all, so sometimes i have to glance at the charts. It takes two seconds and then i get to work. There are also certain things sometimes that only apply to specific sandwiches, some of which I’ve only seen once since starting to learn the meat side. If i glance at the chart, he comes out and reads it to me after im halfway through, then tries sometimes to take over what im doing. 

Also, I haven’t been taught how to ring out a customer yet. H complains that he has to stop doing what he’s doing to do so, yet when I ask him to teach me about that, he gets angry. I can’t be allowed to do my job if im not being taught.

He’ll also send me to do things in the back and then get mad when I need a few extra seconds to stop what im doing and get up there.

Anyway, AITA or is he asking too much from me right now, as a trainee?
