It's not unusual per se, when I was a new hire I was trained primarily through opening shifts, however my store at the time had three openers so there wasn't any undue burden on anyone. If there is a third person coming in soon after opening then your store probably has super slow early mornings and theyre banking on your fellow partner being able to hop in to make the few drinks you'll get until the third comes in before the crowds arrive.

Then again you might just have shite trainers and have a fun few days of hell ahead of you. Good luck and deep breaths!

I’m not sure how other stores are, but that’s what happened to me.. 3 days of actually training, 1 midday shift, and then the next day I opened. And my training was during evening shift and no one trained me how to open. Baptism by fire I guess :’) Tbh I feel really bad for green beans that have to open. Bc they weren’t prepared for the pace of peak and they freak out. I think that’s the reason why so many leave quickly.
