I basically ran the store during my shifts. I made sure the food was safe and served in a timely manner, that the environment was clean, and that employees were doing what was needed to make sure customers were happy. I also counted the tills and ran the store's money to the bank. I worked in multiple stores, with a few base stores depending on where the company needed me to be. Sometimes it'd be up in North Seattle, occasionally the University District, and more often down near the baseball stadium.I also taught other shift managers, and occasionally new store managers, about how to make the food and conduct other store operations. I worked 40 hours a week while going to school.
