Well, my new job is still in food, but working with subs rather than burgers.  Honestly, it's not that hard to really pick up on, save for a few minor things like settings for cooking things like bread and such,  but nothing so intellectually challenging.  I'm already annoyed that people seem to think I should be dumber.. it's like I understand it from the new morons I'd deal with training at mcd's, but at the same time, it feels just a bit insulting.
There are some things I'm worried about, such as people complaining that they seem to promote from outside rather than inside the company, how some people are slow/lazy, how we're scheduled to work until 11 if we're a closer but since that's only when we actually close the store, we still stay later than scheduled doing actual closing duties... has me a bit worried, so I'm still looking at classified ads just in case.
I did already have one customer that I just wasn't sure what to think.  He comes up and insists that he's going to teach me how to make a sandwich, because he likes his stuff put on the sandwich in a certain way.  I make it how he wants it made and then he made some comment about women in the kitchen cooking.
Me:  Actually, I don't really cook, my husband cooks.
Him:  What?  That's silly.
Me:  We made a deal that he does all the cooking, and I do all the cleaning.  Besides, cooking was a traditionally male occupation, as you see in chefs.
Him:  So, does he wear the panties of the pair of you, or do you wear them?
Me:  (wtf?????)  Er... sometimes we switch.
He left it at that.  I mean, wtf?  That's just weird and insulting.. and I didn't really feel I could say much because he is apparently a regular, and being old has probably cemented certain views in his head.  It was still just weird.
I suppose the job isn't that bad.  The people in the connecting grocery/gas store come over to help when needed, it isn't nearly as hectic, usually is something to do, and I actually get paid more and get a few more hours.  So it'll probably do me pretty well for now.
