Sunday is the busiest day in the Deli (and the rest of the store, I'm sure.) It never fails, every Sunday as of late we've had a new person to train. And of course they count as one of the employees working so we're always short-handed...actually we're worse than short-handed because we have try to show them what to do while we're between customers. Is there some reason for this? Wouldn't it be better to bring in a new person on a Monday, when it's more peaceful?
At my store they love to bring them in during the evening hours, since it's the lowest senior employees who tend to close. So we get new people trained by new people who themselves don't know what the hell they're doing.

That sounds about right. But if you're on the front end and they go to the training center well... the graduates there are nothing to sing about. we often have to retrain or just cut them loose.

Front end training is bulls-h-i-t. Just videos and paperwork.
When I first started I had my manager tell me the bags would expand and hold five items just fine.
Few weeks later heading home carrying a bag and what happens? The goddamn thing breaks.
Of course, this is the same manager whom said she'd been with the company for 20 years and the same manager who told me in my write up "you can quit today and we will be okay with that."
Our store is complete crap but they don't do trial by fire.
Too many people park their damn cars or idle in the fire lanes outside the front of the store.
I have always told my co-workers that if our store has a fire, we're all dead and so is everyone inside.
Because some JACKASS would be idling in the fire lane waiting for his wife or daughter or daughter or wife would be waiting for that jackass.
I swear around the 4th at one point we had about five cars either in the no parking area or the fire lane. Made for hell trying to push those carts back in to the store. Bad enough to have to wait for people to pull in and out of parking spaces like a bad Jenga game, suddenly I had to deal with moving a line of carts all over the place as these human dingleberries decided that the clearly marked "no parking" area was just a suggestion rather than a statement. Ugh! This job has taught me to hate the human species.
The people who I train always seem shocked that after I show them where everything goes, how to cut the meat and cheese and put it away in the correct spot again, I expect them to wait on customers. The first few times I just stand there and watch them in case they need help with something, but they honestly seem surprised I expect them to help out on counter the first day. Is this unusual? The two people who I've trained have actually been doing pretty well, whereas the people who are trained by hanging back and watching other people on their first few days without waiting on customers seem to be not really getting it.

I think you missed the point.
Actually I got the point.
I just made my own after that one.
You're insane. Come work at my store. We need people like you.

The insane ones at my store all work Front End.
Although I think we have a few in Loss Prevention too.
