A typical day at work starts with coming in and opening the store which requires slicing any meats/cheeses you need for the day and setting up the various stations (oven/soup/pepper bar/ etc..) in the store.  Once customers start coming in you greet them, take and complete their order and then ring them up and send them off with a 'thank you and have a great day'.  After my break, generally 2-3 PM, I'll come back and my co-worker(s) will leave and I'll work the rest of the night by myself.  From 3-7 PM I'll prep vegetables or pre-weights we need for the next day while still handling anything else that might need to be done, including but not limited to customers/cleaning/telephone calls.  At 7 PM I'll start the 2 hour closing procedure which involves cleaning dishes, sweeping/mopping, bathroom detail, putting away and setting up stations for tomorrow, and finally counting the money in the register and closing out the credit batch.

This was my first 'real' job so I ended up learning a lot.  Through my experience I've learned first hand what it takes to be great at customer service -- eye contact, smiling, being polite, genuinely caring.  The owner and I also became sort of like friends and he's taught me a lot about business and how to run one.  I now do the bookkeeping at the store for him and have done the money deposits when he's gone on vacation.

My co-workers and management at Quiznos are probably the best part about this job.  The owner gives us a lot of freedom because he trusts every one of us.  It's also nice having the same group of co-workers to work with for years.  We're all like a family and associate outside of work.  All my co-workers do their job without being told to do it too so it makes the day go by much faster and easier.

The hardest part of the job is probably having to work by yourself when it gets busy.  There have been times where I'll make $300-400 in 2-3 hours by myself while having to finish prep and cleaning at night or Sunday.

The most enjoyable part is easily seeing 'my' customers coming in and chatting with them while I make their sandwich.  Not only is it great to see them and catch up but I generally know exactly what sandwich their getting so their orders go pretty quickly and it doesn't even feel like I'm working.

A typical work day involves getting up in the morning, which I am not the best at. However, I am almost never late to work and I always have a good attitude while I work. I greet my manager/s and get a drawer in order to cashier. My boss and I chat about our day to day lives and joke about day to day life while I use the counter machine to count out my drawer and make sure the till is balanced. I then take my drawer to my line and log into the computer. After that, I clean the lines to make sure they are presentable and start filling up balloons for the balloon corral. I then move to filling the lines with the correct merchandise, greet customers, and cashier when necessary. 
I learned how to be careful with money, making sure that I keep my drawer balanced. My goal is to not be over or under the correct balance. I have learned to be pleasant to all despite whether they are pleasant. I use my time efficiently and have learned to make customers experience as good as I can.
I love my manager and the assistant managers. We all have a good time while we do our jobs. Even when things get hard, we all mostly keep up good face and laugh about it. My coworkers are the same. I have not met all of them, but I get along very well with them.
The hardest part of my job would be that it is in the morning, ha ha. I am not too much of a morning person, but I prefer the mornings because they are pleasant and go by fast. My body keeps me from being as progressive as I wish to be, but that is why I have new goals in place and management has been kind enough to help me ease back on my feet.
My overall experience at work is enjoyable. I love people and making people laugh. As long as I can socialize and get my work done at a decent pace, I am happy.

a typical day at work was always stressed, but for good reason.....we had great reviews on our customer service and our food. But it was always a tense situation due to the fact that the main manager always put a lot on us at all times. for example, when hired i told her that i was having injections in my back approximately every 3 months and would give her advance notice of these appointments, she said she had no problems with that as long as i notified her of this in email form. when i did so in the month of december, she promptly made plans to basically make it impossible for me to have the day off (which with these injections, i was required to have at least 12-24hrs off my feet) so in turn, i had my injections, came home and slept the anestetic off, then drove to work and worked a normal shift, which included doing dishes, prep work and sweeping and mopping the store, while one of my co workers decided to basically boycott doing any of the assigned closing tasks, and when the manager came back, she preceeded to call a meeting and yell at myself and the other assistant manager because of the other co workers not doing their jobs. she stated it was our responsibility to make them do it or we had to compensate, which i absolutely could not do, the store was presentable at best. and while yelling at us, we had customers witnessing her yelling at us. i loved the job and tried to keep it as long as possible, but when it comes to the point where my job is stressing me so bad that i come home crying and such, i had to walk away from it, and didnt think it was right of the boss to put down and disrespect the co workers at all let alone in front of the customers

i worked as a freelancer and still do just that there are no hours available for me. The month i was there was pretty easy with the store being in a busy community and being busy itself with customers. I can say i have improved my customer service experience, having to attend multiple customers at a time and not having a problem with any of them. Bloomingdales is all about fashion so appearance meant a lot when showing up to work. A typical work day i would stand next to the colon or perfume i was selling or representing and luring clients into buying them or sort of persuade them to buy the colon/perfume i was selling. Of course to complete this kind of job i would be talking the whole day in a suit but having the chance to meet a different variety of people you would not see in any other store. Bloomingdales i can say gave me a lot of tips on customer service and experience in working with customers especially those who are not having a pleasant day overall. Decency and respect was never a failed option for me or being late either. Co-Workers in Bloomingdales treated me like family me being the new guy and it was great. They made my station comfortable so i would not have any issues during my work time frame. I learned a lot from this job being a high class work satisfaction and believe because of Bloomingdales my customer service experience has greatly improved, of course still room for improvement. Always keeping a smile on your face and keeping mood swi

It's a very repetitive job. The same thing gets done everyday where I come in. I open the store, make a prep list, do the prep, take orders, make sandwiches, help customers at the register and close up the store at the end of the day. 
   I've learned a lot about customer service and how difficult it can be at times, but through this job I was able to work on how to handle rude customers carefully so they would still want to come back.
  I get along with all of my co-workers really well. The exceptions are when they are not pulling their fair share, leaving the rest of us to take double the load. But I just let them know they need to pick it up and get to work and we still get along.
  It is a pretty easy job for the most part. We will have huge lunch rushes that are pretty difficult. With a huge line, it is a little hard trying to keep all the customers happy but we do the best we can.
  I am pretty lucky and am able to work with my best friend who I grew up with. Whenever I work with her we always will have a great time. I also enjoy getting to know a lot of the customers. There are some that know me by name and will ask how my life is and we will chat as if we knew each other outside of work. It is nice being able to have customers ask for you by name. :)
  My bosses have contributed to me liking the job. They have been helpful and fun to work with. I enjoyed being on their team.

They tell you your position is to do dishes, prep food, and stock the front whenever you aren't actively on a delivery. If you're the only guy there, however scrawny, you WILL be unloading the stocking truck, ALL bathroom cleaning, any sorting, AND STILL have to do dishes, deliveries, and stocking. All while an able-bodied manager may be making snyde remarks about how she could be doing things so much better than you or sitting on facebook on a company computer. True story. 
Typical day: Get there, wash hands, ask if anyone up front needs anything, do dishes, make food, deliver food, lather, rinse, repeat.
What I learned: In a workplace with ONE man, that man does ALL the heavy lifting, even if they're tiny and end-up blowing their knee out every shift.
Management: They were all stuck-ups where I worked. Always quick to say 'not my job' and hand it off to the delivery guy.
Co-workers: I had ONE that was respectable, out of the 9 that worked there, and that's because I went to middle and high school with her.
Hardest part: the snide remarks and undertones, not to mention the DRAMA they talk about (and they were all over 25 at the time)
Most Enjoyable part: You can afford to eat at Quiznos on minimum wage thanks to the 50% discount!

The owner is very kind and the previous manager was very friendly and driven. The manager was very good at keeping everyone on task and he was always very friendly and inclusive to all the restaurant guests. 
A typical day involved preparing vegetables and organizing all the foods in their proper preparation and storage locations with correct labeling. Cleanliness of the work stations and restaurant area were very important and well maintained. Hand hygiene and understanding of potential food contamination issues was very important and well maintained. Constant friendliness to customers was strongly encouraged and well maintained.
The coworkers were friendly, very helpful, and easy to work with. 
The hardest part of the job may have only been during a rush hour when there were a lot of people coming while also there would be phone orders coming in. It was always handled very well though. 
The most enjoyable part of the job was preparing the vegetables, doing dishes in the back, and meeting new people through the daily customers as well as new customers.
I am good with people but i was still able to improve my social skills. I knew a lot about cleanliness and sterile procedure from my LNA education but I learned some new stuff about specific food cleanliness.

I was responsible for recruiting employees to work, did on the job training with them. Handle daily operations pertaining to the restaurant business such as prepping food, handling food safety measures, purchasing food supplies and office supplies in a weekly basis as well as in charge of inventory and scheduling employee work hours. Assisted in general maintenance of the dining area as well as in the kitchen. The most enjoyment are recieving graditudes and compliments on the cleaniness, quality of the product and customer service from the customers. Also that the employees all got along with each other to work united as a TEAM. The hardest part of the job is when we recieve customer complaints of an erroneous order or that it was not up to his/her expectation or when we are short staffed that leads me into being in charge in running the business and working the floor.

A typical day would be to open AND sometimes close the same day, but it was a fun place to work. I made work lists for employees to do for the day, made sure it got done and took care of the rest of the management responsibilities. Very fun to work there and very good employees. 

I learned a lot from my boss as to how to order, schedule, food safety, FIFO, and to manage more effectively. 

The owner was a very funny, yet effective manager. We got along great, and I was given raises and paid according to what I did. My hours were great, sometimes I would work well over what I should because I would have somebody call off. He unfortunately had to close his franchise a few months after I moved back to Michigan, but we still keep in touch.

My co-workers were sweet and came in all different personalities of course, but I would schedule "like personalities" with each other. I kept peace in the work place easier that way.

The hardest part of my job was firing somebody...I would rather not have had to do it but it was part of my job requirement.

The most enjoyable part of my job was meeting new people and my employees always got along with me. They called me their "work mom" and I still stay in contact with a lot of them to this day.
