Featured Intern: Where has this last week gone??

 By Amanda Sauceda

It seemed like this last week has flown by and before I know it I’ll be done with this rotation and one to the next one.  This past week I have been learning the ropes on the retail side of things.  Since technically this is my second week on the retail side I have been learning a lot about the manger’s duties so I can start to take them over as part of my staff relief.  One of the major duties each morning is to prepare all the signage for the foods that will be served for lunch each day.  It was confusing at first because there would be last minute menu changes that would require me to print out all new signage and get the appropriate nutrition info.  Plus I would always seem to forget to print double of everything for the doctor’s dining room.  But by the end of the week I pretty much had it down and was able to even get ahead by getting things ready for the next day.

Also part of my duties this last week was to promote the giveaway we had in honor of National Nutrition Month.  Friday I was out in the cafeteria informing the employees about National Nutrition Month and the great bag of goodies that we were giving away.  I was jealous because it was a really big reusable and insulated bag full of produce!  All the ingredients needed to make a perfect vegetable soup.  In addition the retail operations is conducting their annual survey so I have been helping out with trying to get people to fill it out.  I sweeten the deal with giving a cookie away with each completed survey.  For this up coming week I’ll still be in retail and start to learn more about the catering that we do as well.  Looking forward
