Everyday Life Of B.K

I have worked for the same Burger King for the last four years of my life. I have learned many lessons from there. It may not seem that you can learn a lot from there, but you really can. I have learned leadership skills, because I got promoted to a manager about a year ago. You can also learn a lot from the customers. The way they treat you is how they are going to get treated back. I know that we are supposed to be nice as we can be because the customer is always right. If you got yelled at and you knew you were right wouldn't you get upset and maybe take it out on that person? I have enjoyed all of my learning experiences there and all of the opportunities that I have received there. Not only have I gotten to meet a bunch of new friends there, I have learned leadership skills, how to manage my money properly. Ever since I started there I saved as much money as I possibly could. I bought my own car, and I am paying for my own college tuition by myself. I understand that you must save your money as best as you can for the future.

What have I learned?

Since working at Burger King I have learned many different things. Since this is the only job I have ever had, I think it does a good job teaching the basic skills that everybody needs to know in life. It has taught me basic things like: basic working skills, Social skills, and leadership.

Working skills, the everyday things I use in life like to be on time wherever I go, to be prepared, and to be more responsible. I am always on time to where I am going weather it is school, work or an appointment. I am prepared for class by always having the material we need, for work I am prepared with my uniform, and anything else I might need. More responsible in the sense that I always get what I need done on time, if I don't understand I get help. When I am doing the books at work and I am off by a lot of money I get another manager that is higher than I am to help me out.

I have learned leadership skills working at Burger King. This is because I became a manager almost a year ago. I have learned how to treat my employees from other managers who have taught me what I should know. If I get another job and become a manager there I will already know how to treat the employees. Basically if you treat them with respect they will treat you with the same respect that you want.

Finally, social skills. When I first got a job at Burger King I was extremely shy. After meeting a lot of people there, I started becoming more and more talkative. I started talking to the customers more often, and other co workers. I developed many close friendships working there the past few years. I enjoy seeing all my friends weather they work there or don't. I think being social is a good skill to have learned because that is how you meet all of these new people and you really and truly will never know what they are like until you meet them.
