oh today at work was not fun not fun at all!! ok so i came in and i started training for waitressing yesterday and so then today would have been my second day of training well.....they think i should know what i'm doing cuz i waitressed before but that was like when i was 13 or something lol and the cash register that i used at my old work was sooo much simple because it was a pizza place and so it was easy. but this on is sooooooo hard and has soo many button's for different thing's and AHHHH. so the person i was waitressing with gave me all the big groups and so then i had them and i didn't know how to run the cash register and then finally i just like broke down toward's the end and started crying because i was sooo frustrated and i just wanted to be able to do it right. i hate doing thing's wrong i hate it!! i want to be perfect and i know i can't be but i'm use to being able to pick thing's up easy but this was hard.

Dude, waitressing is fucking hard. I hated it so much. ONe of my promises to myself is that I will never do it again! Give yourself some credit girl. You stuck it out. And you know, I always admire the people who keep doing it and get good at it. It\'s really hard. Keep it up girl. And venting helps.
ieeee.stressfulll!but hun yuu aree doing the bestt yuu can for whatt yu know and the ppl should havee helped yuu.yuu dont need to bee perfect doing this..yuur just learning..
I\'m a bit of a perfectionist too. But it\'s the mistakes that we learn from by experience that allows us to learn and become skilled. Doing your best is the best that you can do in giving the job a chance. If you find that you like it, you\'ll do well. If in time you still don\'t like it and have difficulity, it may not be the best job suited for you, and that\'s okay.
No one is perfect but if you do your very best no one can ask for more. You will get the hang of it. Just give yourself time. I know you can do it.
It sounds like you did your best, and you should be proud of that. It will get easier with more experience, don\'t beat yourself up.
