I can't say anything, I was much the same at her age.

The thing she doesn't get is those staff were doing that on purpose, perks of the job.

That's what training is. You don't actually learn by being told what to do but by doing and fucking up.

Oh believe me, she knows that the staff were doing it on purpose. You think that their phones "accidentally" fell out of their pockets into their hands? And no, fucking about when there is work to be done is not a perk of the job. Free tea and coffee in the staff room is a perk.

Even in America, I might, just barely, believe that the owners of the cinema could be okay with the staff playing on their phones during the quiet time while the movies are playing if all the other work is done. But there is no fucking way on earth that the owners will be okay with paying three staff to clean up if two are fucking about and the only one actually working is the newbie who knows nothing.

That's what training is. You don't actually learn by being told what to do but by doing and fucking up.

That's bullshit. You need to be shown how to do it and supervised while you do it, not just told "clean the machine".
