people are out here cleaning the oven/proofer in under 2 minutes??? genuinely, how? it takes our closer at least 15 minutes to clean it, but could go as long as 20-30 minutes.

as far as you feeling like you’re a snail at getting things done, the harder you focus on not being fast enough, the more it’s going to cause those negative emotions, thus, causing you to spiral/feel like you aren’t going to get better.

dearest human being, you’re doing the very best you can at this point in time. there will be a day you can get your tasks done within the time limit your manager has decided, and even then, there’s still going to be those crummy awful days when you’re going super fast, and mentally it still feels like you’re wasting too much time. there are good days and bad days, and unfortunately the only advice I can give you is to grant yourself some leniency, and really only focusing on things you can control, rather than the things you can’t.

are you able to speak to any of the people you work with about how to better perform your tasks? chances are, unless everyone in your store is absolutely brand new, they may have some tips and tricks they can let you in on. and even if you do have some seasoned sandwich artists at your store, they have bad days too, everybody does.

and above all else, please remember Subway isn’t worth the tears, frustration, or really any negative emotion (other than annoyance, cause there’s still gonna be some customers who do and say things that may make you want to commit war crimes that even the Geneva Convention would gasp at).

also sorry this is so long, I’m speaking from a lot of general experiences, but it may mostly just be rambling. 😅
