It sounds like you’re being prepared and trained unofficially. This is how we’ve been preparing baristas that want to move up and to show them what all it takes. Personally I love this method. It’s a slow burn instead of being thrown into a campfire. If you feel it’s too much you can always speak up or ask for help. The York order is overwhelming at first but I guarantee your shift team would be more than willing to help you! Good luck, you’ll do great!

I would say yes! I don’t understand why you aren’t being trained! Your SM doesn’t have to schedule you as key holder yet until after the holidays. There is a lot to learn during this time
