Have you ever worked somewhere you were given ~15 minutes to close the store? My most recent employment was strict about being slack, including leaving dishes overnight and skipping tasks like the floors, and I'm curious how common this is. I've worked at 5+ food buildings and had never seen this before. For reference, the place has been open for less than a year.

No I have never worked somewhere that only gave us 15 minutes to close. Typically the places I have worked we are closing for an hour or more. We definitely do not skip tasks or leave dishes overnight. That is a big no no.

Thank you for the response. I felt so awful leaving the place in such poor condition. There were even times that dishes not done the night before were still there for closing shift the next day (the managers/owners open every single day). I wanted to make sure I had not been wrong in thinking this was out of the ordinary.

Skipping tasks has always been a no-no at my jobs. Managers would usually finish if we were way over time.

I have also only seen this, I've even stayed 2+ hours after close where there was an oil spill fry cooking. I was disappointed in the management at my last job.

We always pre-close. We wash everything we aren't actively using and mop floors in sections.

I have seen pre-closing at every location I've worked at, but never somewhere we were told to skip tasks or leave dishes overnight regularly. I've also never worked somewhere they wanted us to mop the floors before we were done with food preperation.

Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns.

You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
