As someone who also works in a restaurant, I definitely understand this experience. My training day was Mother’s Day weekend, and I was basically left alone as well because everyone was running around trying to take orders and get out food. Your experience reminds me of mine, and I totally understand the pressures of trying to learn a new job!
